This Week's Treat: Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream.

So, something that's wierd about me is that when I'm on estrogen, I hate chocolate "flavored" stuff (things like chocolate cereals, chocolate ice creams). When I'm off hormones, I love it. I figured if I made the chocolate myself, I'd be able to control that wierd taste problem. This tastes just like those chocolates I hate...which means it probably tastes pretty good to everyone else. :)

Note to self: Heshey's Cocoa is NOT Dutch Processed Cocoa, nor is it Dark Chocolate, do that next time.
