I love chocolate. What’s not to love? It’s rich, delicious, melts in your mouth, and may release feel-good endorphins when you eat it! Unfortunately, I’m trying to get in shape for a wedding (not mine!), so I can’t really indulge in it too often. Thankfully, Hershey’s recognized the need to create a delicious piece of chocolate that is lower in fat without sacrificing flavor. Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates have 30 percent less fat than the average leading milk chocolates, but they certainly don’t taste like it!
Hershey sent me all three of their Simple Pleasures flavors to try out, including Milk Chocolate with Chocolate Creme, Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme, and Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme. My favorite was the Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme, it was the perfect blend rich chocolate and creamy texture. To me, the darker the chocolate, the better! It’s so rich and velvety, you wouldn’t know it had less fat without reading the package. The creme in the Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme tasted a little like cake icing, very good too. I love that I can indulge in my favorite food without feeling terribly guilty about it. Of course, as with any chocolate, it’s best to practice moderation!

For my declaration, I promised to enjoy more free time without constantly feeling like I should be working. While I love working from home and wouldn’t trade it for any other job, one of the problems I have is that I technically never clock out. I am always a few feet from my office, and always feel like if I have a free moment, I should be spending it working. Of course, that totally defeats the purpose of free time, doesn’t it? I spend so much time attached to my computer that my back has really been suffering lately. I’m declaring my independence from a what is quickly becoming a workaholic lifestyle.
How will you declare your sweet independence? Tell me in the comment section below.
For my declaration, I promise to be more true to myself regarding my time and energy – more specifically, I’m going to work on saying “no” to the things I say yes to that I don’t really want or have the time to do. I am terrible at saying yes when people ask me for things, when I really need to say no so I can keep my time and energy focused on my priorities and my family. I tend to say yes out of the fear that someone will be upset if I say no…
🙂 Love Hershey’s!!
These sound terrific! Love chocolate 🙂
Oh chocolate is my weekness!!!
OMG…Chocolate my fav. I will definately have to try them 🙂
Before I read your independence I was thinking the same thing. I need to balance my work time so I can get it all done but not spend all day on the computer. Mmm chocolate LOL
I love eating the Hershey’s Simple Pleasures. In fact, I don’t miss buying this one when I shop on the store. I make sure that i have stock on this on my freezer.:)
Hershey’s is my favorite chocolate. I could say that it is perfect for Independence day since it is sweet it signifies as love and beautiful.
