Strawing.....

Like tea? Like chocolate? Ever tried strawing, my brother suggested it once when we were in the house. Strawing is essentially the art of turning a chocolate bar into a straw to drink through. It is quite simple, the best thing to do is to get a hot drink like a cup of tea or a hot chocolate. Then remove your chocolate bar from it's wrapper, taking care not to damage the structural integrity of the chocolate bar. Then bite the ends off, exposing the inner parts, after this put it in your tea and suck, just like a straw. The inner parts of the bar will melt, leaving a warm gooey chocolaty mess, otherwise known as Heaven. Don't leave it too long before popping it in your mouth, the bars have a tendency to disintegrate after a few moments. The best chocolate bars to do it with are Penguins, Time Out's or Kitkats. I realised this morning, people need to know about this, when I caught myself talking dirty to a chocolate bar whilst the kettle was boiling. Don't bother trying with Mars Bars or anything with too much bulk. Although I think a Kit Kat chunky would be amazing. It has to have either a wafer, biscuit or air filled chocolate on the inside to work, hence the reason Time Out's work so well. So what are you waiting for? Get strawing! Just a side note for the Kit Kat, you have to break it into individual sticks for it to work, but be careful if the wafer is exposed midway up the stick 'cause you snapped it wrong, you'll just be sucking air. It only works when the chocolate bar is air tight.
