It's "only" milk chocolate, but powerfully good. It's been so long since I took a long bike ride I'd forgotten those sweet cravings at the end. (I just do short 15-20 milers these days with intervals. Dang, now I want to go for a ride. But work is calling...)<br />Claire - Cranberries and white chocolate chips sound like a very elegant Toot Sweet! Your tastes are obviously refined. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-74633354540437591092011-05-04T07:29:08.284-05:002011-05-04T07:29:08.284-05:00Ah...frosting on graham crackers.

Isn't L.M. Montgomery a fantastic writer? I re-read a lot of her books this winter. Some people might think of it as kid lit, but a good book is a good book to me whatever the age of the target audience. (I could go on about this, but should probably save it for a post.)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-7584338980420057832011-05-03T22:26:55.948-05:002011-05-03T22:26:55.948-05:00Thanks for the link. :) I felt the same about yo...Thanks for the link. :) I felt the same about you when I first read your blog. And by the way, only a true kindred spirit would use the term "kindred sprit". Yay Anne of Green Gables.<br /><br />I love the name "Toot Sweet" too. It would make a great name for a bakery or even a blog. Your cracker recipe reminds me of another Toot Sweet. When I bake a cake and have leftover frosting, I like to spread it on graham crackers. It makes a good reward for baking when you can't eat the cake right away.Lucy DeCodedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996455369231009610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-4385822371865678142011-05-03T12:41:48.486-05:002011-05-03T12:41:48.486-05:00Oh goodness- I love the name!

My fave Toot Sweets in the past have been a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate sauce (read: Nesquik syrup) or a handful of dried cranberries with white chocolate chips. I seriously never thought of preparing a little somethin-somethin while my tea steeped, duh!!! I'm going to try this Very Soon.

Or finish a killer ride...<br /><br />I keep a bit of super dark Lindt in the fridge, and sometimes I like a spoonful of chocolate hazelnut butter.<br /><br />Oh, and I've been working on a favorite climbing songs post ever since I found Fat Cyclist's favs!
