Death by Chocolate.

[Bill Douglas]

Death by chocolate used to be a popular desert at my favourite restaurant.

But these people were taking it a little too literally..

Here is the recipe minus the two nuts.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE


1 box (19.8 oz.) fudge brownie mix
¾ to 1 Cup coffee liqueur
3 packages (3.5 oz. each) instant chocolate mousse
8 chocolate covered toffee candy bars (1.4 oz each, Skor or Heath)
1 container (12 oz.) frozen whipped topping – thawed.

Preheat oven according to brownie directions. Bake brownies according to directions, let cool. Prick holes in tops of brownies with a ford and pour coffee liqueur over brownies. Set aside. Prepare mousse according to directions. Break up candy bars into small pieces in food processor. Break up half the brownies into small pieces and place in the bottom of a large glass bowl. Cover with half the mousse, then half the candy, and then half the whipped topping. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients.

Note: Instead of the coffee liqueur, you may substitute a mixture of 1 tsp. Sugar and 4 tbl. Leftover black coffee or just leave out the coffee flavoring entirely.

I read the other day about a guy at a steel mfg plant falling into a cauldron. Ouch.

I’d rather fall into be chocolate vat.

A joke my grandfather told me...

A guy at the French polish (fancy wood varnish) factory fell into the vat and died. The police gave the sad news to his wife and said "If it's any consolation, he had a beautiful finish."

Holy moly. I have to assume (and hope) that the end was pretty much immediate. Although I think the problem with that is that you wouldn't really fall "in" the molten steel. I'm pretty sure you'd float on the surface which might take a few seconds longer to kill you. It looks like the melting temp of steel is >2500ºF. I'm guessing contact with it would cook you to the bone in seconds, and you probably wouldn't feel much. Still, heck of a way to go.

Hope the medical folks have some twix up their sleeves.

this seems like one of those "went doing what they loved" statements if they had died (which they didn't).

I saw a comedian the other day had a short bit about how people say "they died doing what they loved." I'll bung this up, but...

Someone died and they said "at least he died doing what he loved." That's not necessarily a good thing. If I died doing what I loved, you people would have a whole different experience. It's probably not a good thing for a comedian to drop dead on stage. And there are certain times that no one says it. For instance when someone dies of an overdose. "He overdosed on heroine. At least he died doing what he loved."

It was pretty funny when the comedian said it.

I think Chocaholic simply has ruined his life eating what he loves. The obesity, the finest Belgian chocolates, and the restraining orders at all See's Candies stores have taken their toll- his house, his marriage to Betty Crockett, and estrangement to his kids Sugar Pop and Blue Moon. I credit him with trying- the CA meetings, the Nilla Wafer attempts, the yogurt years. Still, nobody better to hang out with when getting a hot cup of strong black Joe.

Upton Sinclair would be so proud. Although his assertion of a similar incident was never verified.

My dad had a sweet tooth. One time when I asked him where should we go for lunch, he said "See's?" He used to slice up Pillsbury's sugar cookie dough onto a plate and when I looked at him he said "salami."

Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who fell into a beer vat at the brewery and drowned. When his wife was told, she cried "Poor Stosh, he never had a chance. " One of his co-workers replied "What do you mean never had a chance? He got out twice to take a leak."

Poor man it's really sad for him

I've tried a few times, working a summer in a hotel in Wengen, Switzerland

One evening every week there was 10 chocolate desert buffet

My main course was a bread roll and a glass of apple juice

Despite my best efforts I never got past the 6th desert

Outstanding, given the reason.

The Trellis was a Williamsburg Va tradition. Death by chocolate was how you finished things off. Sad to see the place closed.
