Hands down my dream chocolate bar is Hershey’s milk chocolate. Answering this prompt was a perfect excuse for me to eat one today. I like Hershey’s milk chocolate because putting a piece of that chocolate on my tongue and tasting it as it dissolves into my watering mouth gives me a feeling of euphoria that turns my frown upside down. It is almost as if my body knows when it needs Hershey milk chocolate bar. There’s another reason Hershey’s milk chocolate is my favorite; because my Nana Ida always had them for us. My paternal grandmother, who we called Nana Ida always had a stash of candy in her china cabinet. She’d have hard candy, Brach’s Royals and a variety of Hershey’s. As a young child when I would spend the night with Nana Ida and Papa Charlie, it was a special treat when Nana Ida would break a Hershey bar up piece by piece and share it with me. After she died, the nine of us, all of her grandchildren nick named the candy she used to have as “Ida candy.” It goes without saying that I think of Nana Ida every time I bite into a Hershey’s because I know she’s smiling down on my enjoying one too.
