The doctor says that in five years we won't be able to eat chocolate . That there isn't enough cocoa being produced for everyone consumed worldwide, that China doesn't know how much, and that it will become a nearly unaffordable luxury product.
Let's agree that my husband is a bit of a fatalist . But he instilled a fear in me, a terrifying vision. It's clear that our world without chocolate would be a despicable place, blah blah blah. But that wasn't what terrified me. It was something else.
What if hawkers ? What if chocolate becomes a commodity that, even if it exists, must be saved or avoided? What if eating chocolate becomes politically incorrect ?
Most of the things I learned in childhood are wrong today. For some, they're wrong . Drinking milk, the symbol of a well-behaved child, is now wrong. Eating meat, poop. Raising children, doing laundry: you're the worst. Getting married, gays only. Vaccinations, vaccines, are also wrong. Fish, be careful, if it's too big it has mercury; find out if the species isn't endangered. Oh, and take a measuring tape to the fishmonger, have it measured, because if it's too small, it's a scourge.
Don't use heels, are you stupid? They're oppressing . Industrialized, horror of horrors, who knows what's in them. Fruits and vegetables, go ahead, but without pesticides. What if they're GMOs? How do I know if they're GMOs? If you flirt with me, I'll send the police to you. Sugar and salt: two devils. And dulce de leche is pure sugar. Everything is pure sugar. And chicken: only if it's free-range, fed with organic millet and raised outdoors by a good man named Pablo.
I have it clear, I am a stupid A modern woman, an anti-sausage mom. In fact, I made these chocolates to give my son granola. I would never ask for a First Communion revival. Nor do I think my childhood is better than it is now (not at all!). But it's hard, eh. How costs Suspicious all day long. Feeling guilty about everything. Because there are no limits. No salt, no sugar, no lactose, no gluten, no traces of gluten, no fat, what am I having for dinner, guys? A nut?
Well, all this comes down to the fact that I reached my limit with chocolate. Yes, there is a limit. I have a limit. And it's chocolate .
Holy God of Vauquita, don't let this happen. But if it does, if these chocoganos, these neo-chocolatistas, ever show up and demand that I feel guilty for eating chocolate, know this: that's the end of it. They'll all go to hell. I'll close the door and go eat a hot dog at Constitución.
Ingredients
there are only 2!
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or grated chocolate)
- 1/2 cup crunchy granola
How to make crispy chocolate chocolate
modus operandi
1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Reserve 2 tablespoons of unmelted chips. Do not let the water boil.
2. When it's completely melted, remove from heat and add the reserved 2 tablespoons of chips . Stir vigorously until the chips melt with the chocolate's own heat. The reason we do this is to lower the temperature of the melted chocolate.
3. Add the granola and stir well.
4. Place teaspoons of the mixture on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
5. Freeze for half an hour, then store in the refrigerator . They're delicious, super crunchy, and if the chocolate is good, they melt in your mouth.

Coqui and I: two chocolate lovers
I'll tell you that after making Nutella, I had a lot of material left in the blender, and I felt bad about wasting it washing it, so I decided to dilute it with whiskey. You wouldn't believe how delicious it was, so much so that the next Nutella recipe will be mixed with it. It's worth a try.
Paulina, for the chocolates, do you mean granola, already cooked or just like it comes in the package? Thanks.
I'm a genius. I'm a 67-year-old grandmother. I've never baked anything, and you're encouraging me. I bought everything and I'm going to bake for my granddaughter's birthday. It's
also a pleasure to read your page, and it's so much culture.
Please, how can I see your pot stories again? I missed it!
What do you mean, chocolate is running out? No, let’s call for resistance!
My daughter and I would give our lives for a good chocolate bar, bonbon, or however it comes.
We will unite and fight, but chocolate will never disappear. We will defend Milka with hazelnuts or almonds.
The one with pepper that doesn’t seem to bite at first, but then you get into a bad mood.
The Cabsha snacks, all the alfajores… the hot chocolate that lasts half the afternoon here at home… and all those delicious chocolate desserts… will be defended and protected!
Hahaha! Besides the recipe being delicious, you made me laugh and nod my head every time I read it. Haha! You should get on stage and do a stand-up comedy!
You made me laugh so much!! I'm a vegetarian transitioning to veganism... imagine! Soon I'll just be breathing deeply and chewing oxygen. But watch out, Satan! You have to live in San Marcos Sierra at least, and even better at night.
Hi Paulina! I have unsweetened cocoa powder. Can I make it with that and butter? Could you please calculate the proportions for me?
How delicious! I'm going to try them! I'm dying for Coqui's chocolate-covered hands, haha.
In reality I write, but you saw that I rummage around to find recipes that I can eat or disguise to make them light, but today I am going to write to you about your texts, very good because if I am not mistaken you make whoever reads you, man or woman, step on the ground, I belong to an entity through which I transmit my experiences just as you do... simple and to the point, you take care of your children's food and through this means you take care in the same way of others to whom you share your experience... double satisfaction, this is your path and also your vehicle... keep walking, you will reach the goal... and thank you for being... Pablo.
You're a genius, Paulina! Your writing makes me laugh so much! How sad a world without chocolate!
I understand you perfectly. Wherever you stand, blame, a society without limits or real enemies. But Pancho isn't even a joke.
I'll quote Reina Rich on Reina en colores. I'm going to prepare the recipe: "If chocolate is bad, what will war be?"
Your teaching is very good... I want to receive your recipes...
Awesome! I totally identify with the food! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I'm very glad, as the Argentinians say, I've been "gossiping," and it's interesting. Congratulations, Paulina (I have a daughter named Paulina, and they are five children).
simple and delicious
Good morning, Ms. Paulina. I'm here browsing your page and appreciate your exquisite dishes. I'd like the recipe for chocolate-covered profiteroles. Carlos Tineo from eastern Venezuela.
I congratulate you on your writing style, I feel so identified! Hahahaha
