Darth Chocolate, a Little Easter Story
Every year at Easter the stores are filled with chocolate eggs and bunnies in celebration of Spring, and renewal. But I've never understood what all the other chocolate characters had to do with Easter. That being said, when I was busy shopping for Easter chocolates for my kids, there was one chocolate character that I just could not resist, so it followed me home along with all the bunnies, eggs and chicks....and I couldn't help myself as a single photo idea developed into a little story.....
Many of the children were having a wonderful Easter, playing with the little chicks.....
..and enjoying all the chocolate....
But as everyone was inspecting their Easter baskets, Ringo came in. He was all upset.....
"I didn't get anything. I think the Easter Bunny forgot all about me."
Coco felt really bad for his friend, "Are you sure you looked everywhere?"
And off he went to see if the Easter Bunny hadn't hidden Ringo's basket a little too well....
Soon he came back.
"Look what I found! Your basket! It's huge, and has the biggest chocolate egg I've ever seen!"

"Look what I found! Your basket! It's huge, and has the biggest chocolate egg I've ever seen!"
Everyone turned to look....
Ringo started to lift the big chocolate egg out of the basket.....
"Oh, Wow! It's not an egg! I wonder how the Easter Bunny knew I was a Star Wars fan??"
"Oh, Wow! It's not an egg! I wonder how the Easter Bunny knew I was a Star Wars fan??"
"Wow!", exclaimed Coco, "That helmet looks big enough for you to actually wear!"
"I think you are right...", and Ringo ran off to see if it would fit.....
*cue the Star Wars Darth Vadar Theme and some heavy breathing*

...and Ringo, as 'Darth Chocolate', came back into the room......
Elin gasped in surprise!
Everyone stared as Darth Chocolate took Coco's hand.....
"Cocoa, I am your Father!"
"Join me on the Dark side!"
"Join me on the Dark side!"
"What do you mean 'Dark side'? You look more like milk chocolate to me."
...and some mighty tasty milk chocolate it was too!
...and some mighty tasty milk chocolate it was too!
"You know, there was nothing inside this guy's head, but a lot of hot air....."
