A few days ago, Mitchell — over at Moving With, posted that while walking around his neighborhood, he ran across a churros kiosk that was selling Chocolate-dipped corn cob / Mazorca de maíz bañada en chocolate.
"Whoever heard of such a thing?" Mitchell queried.
I myself had never heard of it, but it sounded pretty tasty to me, so I gave it a try.
After salting the boiled cob, I spread melted chocolate on it and, as I’d expected, the taste was a delicious combination of salty and sweet.
Not something I’d make a habit of concocting. Melting and spreading chocolate was messy work.
In other news, the Elf is back.
At the market this past Saturday, I looked and looked and looked, but had no success in finding the Elf.
I overheard a conversation between a father and his little son …… "We didn’t give up and we found it". So rightly assuming they were talking about the Elf, I asked "Where?"
The father pointed over towards the Deli/Bakery side of the market, said "Over there, sipping a coke. They hid it pretty well. We looked for a long time".
Wanting to get a photo of Holly the Elf enjoying a coke, I walked over to that area, looked and looked and looked and looked. Never found the Elf that day.
I popped into the market after this morning’s workout, and found Holly pretty quick.
A new Christmas treat? I know popcorn is delicious with all sorts of different toppings, so why not corn on the cob too? I bet the market gets lots of complaints when the Elf is too hard to find.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about that last hunt, that there were probably complaints, which caused it to be easier to find today.
DeleteThank you for all of the reading enjoyment in 2024.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and enjoying.
DeleteFigures that little bitch was hanging out in the whiskey!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by being in the liquor department because that department is not where one would want kids to go looking for Holly. On the other hand, she was just on the edge of that section ... but on top of a box of whiskey. Go figure.
DeleteLOL! And I was mistaken in what I say. You slay me!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, LOL. Sounded like a winning combination to me, so my inquiring nature just had to test it out.
DeleteNot being a fan of corn on the cob OR chocolate [yes, I am THAT guy] I'll pass on the treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! Don't like corn. Don't like chocolate. You're missing out.
DeletePeople tell me that!!
DeleteI like my corn on the cob microwaved with ranch dressing wrapped in press and seal.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but you lost me at ranch dressing 🤮.
DeleteI've heard of already popped popcorn with chocolate on it. Not how I'd like my chocolate though. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI thought about trying chocolate popcorn once, but seemed a lot of work, much like chocolate corn cobs. I tried adding roasted seaweed to popcorn and like the flavor so much that I now won't eat popcorn without it.
DeleteI wish my grocery store did somehting like this.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun. I look forward to the hunt every year since it began a few years ago.
DeleteShe must have gotten tired of that Coke and headed for the whiskey!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt it. Can't be easy to be kidnapped and hidden in a different location on a daily basis, LOL
DeleteI've never heard of chocolate on a corn cob but it sounds like an interesting combination.
ReplyDeleteNews to me as well, but I was game to try it when reading about on Mitchell's blog.
DeleteLove the new boots! Me, I'll stick with butter on my corn
ReplyDeleteButter works just fine.
