The Fate of the Last Chocolate Rabbit

So last week I shared my dilemma and indecisiveness regarding whether or not I should eat my very last chocolate Easter rabbit any time soon.

The house was completely devoid of chocolate. So you can understand my confliction. 

I am happy to report I am no longer out of chocolate.

Rebekah bought me this bar that you see below, and I am slowly working my way through it, one square at a time.

That means I don't eat the five pieces at a time that the package counts as a serving. I eat just one square at a time, one after lunch, one after dinner.

At that rate, this bar should last a good week (or more, if I eat it more slowly).

With my chocolate craving temporarily assuaged by a bar that could potentially last two weeks in the freezer, the last chocolate Easter rabbit is still safe on my shelf (in front of a two-year-old Valentine's Day candy basket from Rebekah, which is in front of a pen/pencil holder Sarah made for me in Brownies day camp more than thirty years ago. Yes, I still use it).

Yes, the last chocolate rabbit is safe from me.

For now.

The Last Chocolate Rabbit

I am almost officially out of holiday chocolate, although it's taken me to June to eat through it.

The Christmas chocolate is gone. So is the Valentine's Day chocolate.

And now, the Easter chocolate is almost gone...except for one lone chocolate rabbit.

I really want this last piece of chocolate. But I'm sad to bid the actual gold-foiled rabbit good-bye.

I wound up with these chocolate rabbits somewhat randomly. Rebekah and I were purchasing post-Easter candy on sale in anticipation of Eastern Orthodox Easter when I noticed this package of chocolate Easter rabbits.

For some reason, I loved, really loved, the expression on the gold foil faces. 

So that package stayed out of the mix of the family candy just for me. And I ate them sparingly.

Now, only one remains. And I'm torn.

I really want the chocolate.

Yet I'm loathe to lose the personality.

Seriously, just look at this face. 

Still - I am out of chocolate. In fact, I've been chocolateless for nearly a week now. That is a very long time for me.

So I will probably eat this chocolate rabbit today.

Probably.

Maybe.
