Desperation

Have you ever been so desperate to find some chocolate that you just squirted some Magic Shell right into your mouth? Straight from the bottle?

No?

Oh.

Yeah. Uh. Me neither.

But sometimes you're gotta have some chocolate. Especially on a girls-only night. The boys are at an Orlando Magic game to which Andrew earned a ticket by getting straight A's on his report card last quarter. I mean, he didn't earn them from us, it's some program through the basketball team.
Anyway. For four generations now, the women in my family have turned to one special treat during a Chocolate Emergency - Chocolate in the Bottom of the Cup.
Hey, you know, I didn't name it. But it works.
Basically, you make a chocolate sauce, like the one from those no-bake peanut butter & oatmeal cookies - the kind that hardens up at room temperature. Everybody has their own recipe for that, I'm sure. Only, you don't mix in peanut butter and oatmeal. You just put it, well, in the bottom of a cup. Then you pour milk (or soy milk. pout.) over the top of it. It'll mix a little bit. But you drink down the milk, which gets more and more chocolate-y as you get closer to the bottom. And you are left with a thick layer of chocolate to eat up with a spoon.
Throw in a Barbie movie and girls' night is good to go.
