Goldbar

Chocolate of the week...

I thought this was a huge chunk of chocolate inside so I saved this for last...

Good thing though,

it was consists of small chocolate bars inside you can peel one by one...

Whew! I thought I had to eat it all in one sitting....

This was so yummy... I am so glad I didn't gave this away.

Thanks ERIC!

True! Ha ha!

A belated gift from an office mate....
