I forget a lot of things these days…that’s one of the reasons I sketch every day. This was a box of peculiar little chocolates, each one individually sealed in a little plastic box (really bad for the environment) and printed with a picture. Nice chocolate though.

These cookies were made (by my wife) from cocoa and tablea (tablets of pure ground roasted cacao beans). Tablea are usually used in the Philippines to make a traditional hot chocolate drink by dissolving them in water and milk. I find the traditional hot chocolate too bitter but these cookies were yummy.

Here is a doodle from last night – I’d made dinner but was waiting for my wife to come home…so I snacked on chocolates! Something my parents always told me not to do. The chocolates were a Christmas gift from a friend in the UK…you can tell we don’t eat many chocolates! I painted this starting with watercolour, then ink and then watercolour pencils – which I like to use because of the layering effects you can get.

As I’m still drawing all the Christmas presents that I received, I thought I should draw these chocolates that were given by an old friend – before the last one is eaten! The brand is called “Lick the Spoon” (what a great brand name) and these particular ones are called “The Bish” – salted caramel over hazelnut and almond praline….yummy!

Here is my sketch from yesterday, following the Doodlewash May challenge prompt of chocolate. This bar, bought as part of a huge bag of chocolates you can buy at duty free when coming back into the Philippines, has melted and re-solidified several times I think.
