A group dedicated to being devious 365 days a year. You are given a daily task to partake in. Task 5 was to find 5 deviations for something you love and explain why you like the deviations.

I Love Chocolate!
Simple and Pure. Milk chocolate is the best. I don't mind a little of the dark but its too bitter most of the time. And white is way too sweet.

And who doesn't like a nice hot cup of cocoa during the cold winter months? This gentlemen makes this ordinary drink fun to the last drop with his series of girls named after beverages.

And it just doesn't have to be edible. It looks great with fur as well. Isn't that cute little nose and expression just adorable?

Chocolate will never let you down. No matter your mood chocolate will be there for you.

And the ultimate best thing about chocolate is...it's great with Peanut Butter!
