~Chocolate Cherry Cookies



Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup good quality cocoa powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 stick butter, softened
* 3/4 cup granulated sugar
* 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. In a bowl of an electric mixer, or with a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and wine and combine. Slowly in batches add the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate and cherries. On a nonstick cookie sheet, place a heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie about 2 inches apart from each other. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until tops are still soft looking but edges look firm.

~PMS Chocolate Bar


When it's that "time of the month", chocolate is a guilty pleasure that most women crave. But maybe they should - chocolate is the ultimate comfort food and now a new product gives those undergoing PMS even more reason to indulge.

They're called "PMS Support Chocolate bars" and the manufacturer, vitamin giant Jamieson Labs, insists they really do relieve the symptoms that can accompany premenstrual syndrome. How can that be? In addition to the endorphins a comfort food like chocolate can release in the brain, this bar contains a blend of white willow bark, sodium caseinate, artichoke leaf and chasteberry. Despite that, it actually tastes good.

Perfect Monthly Satisfaction! Available in both Milk and Dark Chocolate. 2.5 ounces of pure bliss! A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
