You know you're spoiled when...

In preparation for my monthly cravings, Craig and I stopped in the Godiva store at Yas Mall. I wanted chocolate covered caramels. Craig bought six of them for me, and the store put them in this somewhat oversized box:


I was a bit disappointed when I found that the consistency of the caramel was not what I expected. I was looking for a thick, chewy caramel like you find in a box of See's or Russell Stover chocolate. The Godiva chocolates were good, but they really weren't what I was craving.

I was having a bit of a struggle that day - homesick, shut-in by the heat, and generally cranky - and I made the mistake of complaining to Craig about the candy.

After dinner that evening, Craig told me he had a surprise for me. He had me hold out my hands and close my eyes. When I opened them, I found a bag of chocolate. He had me repeat this procedure with each item until I had this embarrassment of chocolate-caramel options:


I think it's safe to say that I am more than a little bit spoiled. :)
