Wave a doughnut in front of me at 10 am, and I have little trouble saying “no.” Ice Cream at 12 pm hardly makes me turn my head.…

It’s kind of like chocolate covered peanuts. Yeah, that’s right chocolate covered peanuts. That’s probably what you call them. I call them “brown cocaine.” They are addictive!
