Course: Grades Instructor - DO NOT MODIFY > Section: Types of Chocolate and Production

I first realized I was a chocolate lover when I started trick or treating on Halloween and never got sick of eating all the chocolate. What a wonderful holiday!

I've always enjoyed chocolate since I was very young. My dad gave me a chocolate ice cream cone at the State Fair and I just loved the darker, velvety taste it had. Then a little later my grandpa gave me some M&Ms and Hershey kisses. I thought the crunchy shell on the M&Ms was fun to crack.

Now I love all types of chocolate. In cakes, on bars, as a topping, layered between, anyway you can bake it. My last name isn't Sweet for no reason!

When I was young my mom would let me have milk and cookies before going to bed. I like dunking the cookies in the milk. I found that I liked the way chocolate cookies mixed with the milk taste. So I started asking her to buy mainly chocolate cookies and that was my first chocolate fix that I never lost.

I've always known I was a chocolate lover. I was born into it. With a name like Cocoa, I was destined to be a chocolate lover. My mom loves cocoa so she decided to name me after her first love and passed it on to me.

I don’t think there was ever a first realization that I loved chocolate. My family has always had chocolate at every meal. We even have it at breakfast which is unusual in some societies.

I actually never had chocolate until I was in college. My mom never allowed us kids to have it because of known problems in our family. Then, I tried my first at a college study group. One of the girls brought some chocolate chip cookies to a study session. I ate one dozen by myself. I was so sick the next day but it didn’t stop me from wanting more that morning. I went to the deli and bought a dozen chocolate covered donuts. I eventually dropped out of college and began to work in a chocolate factory until the owners realized I was eating more than I was making. Now that I’m facing my addiction, I’ve started back at college. I didn’t register in time to take the Cooking with Fruit class so I hope I can stay strong.

When I was a child, my mother tried to make sure that I only ate healthy cookies such as oatmeal and oatmeal raisin. It wasn’t until I was in grade school that she let me eat chocolate chip cookies. That's when i first realized I loved chocolate.

Well, I’ve always been pressured by my family to love chocolate. While it’s okay, I have never loved it. I tolerate it at family functions but usually don’t keep any in my house except for when guests come over.

Most people don’t have a memory that goes back as far as mine but I remember before I could walk I was stealing Hershey kisses out of my mom’s candy jar. Um!!! She’s always catch me, though, because I would leave a trail of the foil wrapping wherever I crawled.

I have a very distinct memory of eating my first chocolate!!! I was in the third grade and I tricked another kid into exchanging lunches with me. Little did he know that my mother was a vegetarian AND had sworm off ALL sugar. So while he was faced with eating a beet sandwhich and a salad with nuts for protein, I was in heaven with peanut butter and jelly and a KitKat for dessert!!! Oh, it was pure bliss. After that, I started collecting all the loose change I could so I could raid the vending machines at school!!! Eventually, when I turned 18, I legally changed my name from Chocolate R. Gross to Veggies R. Gross.
