Last week at the grocery store I helped a little old lady get some canned stuff from a shelf she couldn't reach. 30 minutes later I knew much of her life story. These things happen to me, a lot, but I don't mind. But I get it, old folks get lonely for contact with people. Next time I will wear a Freddy Krueger mask. j/k

Cali has been in pretty bad drought conditions for a long time. Add in all the fires out that way. Much has changed in a relatively short period of time and not just in Cali. Not good. Can't imagine what the planet will be like in 25, 50 or 100 years. I am very happy to have known much better times.
I agree about chocolate... not that they aren't good but something is missing. I do tend to like dark chocolate but even then I get some "tootsie roll" (and I like those IRL but not when I'm craving real chocolate) There is one exception... FA cocoa (straight up dark dry cocoa powder) It helps but is also known to clog coils. One thing I did discover... mixed LB white chocolate peppermint with WF chocolate chunks (since I like chocolate with mint) The WCP has real nice rich white chocolate flavor (that seems to be what is missing in many chocolate flavors) so if anyone can suggest a good white chocolate flavor (without the mint) I would love to try it.
Of the new FA's I'm interested in...
Amarula
Cheesecake Olympus
Cookie Premium
Both custards
Vanilla Cookie
Waffles Vanilla
Those have good reviews.

I like VT Love + FLV white chocolate 1.5/1%s
Grab some for me when you order yours, please
I’m reading a description of the Amarula… it compares it to Bailey’s, but I thought that was a coffee liqueur? Amarula sounds more fruity, unless I’m misunderstanding?
I was forced to evacuate from my home in the mountains (forest fire was less than 1 mile away) Very scary and a really bad memory (had to drive way out of the way through Yosemite park to get out... too tired to keep driving, no tent, no pad just a tarp and sleeping bag on hard ground for the night) Then had to spend most of my paycheck on motel rooms and gas... finally got to come home a week later. My wife was lucky... just happened to be staying at a friends house when this happened. Oh yea, and I had to bring my cat in a travel cage (he was so ...... off... moaned the entire time) and had to sneak him into the motel room and fake a "litter box" Now that's a bad memory!
If you like dark chocolate add VT Dark Chocolate to your list. It's pretty accurate. I've been using it in a few recipes lately.
White chocolates: FLV White Chocolate and VT White Chocolate are good. I like both.
One thing I've noticed, going lower with %'s with chocolates helps. This is true with both the WF Nanaimo Bars and S'mores Cupcake. However they did chocolate in those made them very nice and convincing. I don't get any off-notes from either.
I read one review that said it was like some African coffee. I think on ELR I read one that mentioned it was Bailey's like. That's a wide range. I went back and forth on it. My gut keeps telling me to get it.
It has been on my list for awhile (Fran mentioned it to me before)
Thank you all for the suggestions about white chocolate.
Nom Nomz has Amarula listed as "Amarula Creamy Kenya Coffee".
This from Global Table Adventure... South African Amarula Coffee | Global Table Adventure "Amarula Coffee is a South African favorite - a breezy concoction that includes your favorite coffee, some brown sugar (the sweetener of choice in South Africa), a shot or two of Amarula, and whipped cream."
If FA Amarula is anything like that I think it would work nicely as an additive with FA Cappuccino (or another coffee). Also in bakery vapes and maybe IC.
It looks good to me in the photo...
@ShowMeTwice … I’m “MEH” on my amended s’mores. It’s missing a base still, kind of flat. I think gooey marshmallow muted??? I’m not getting the graham, chocolate tastes watered down
Coffee and chocolate vapes always sound great to me and I keep trying them but I never can vape one for very long then they sit in a drawer forever. I need to stick to fruity, bakery, alcohol beverage flavor vapes.
