Alakegirl Posted September 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Cleaning out the fridge we came across a bag of pillow chocolates saved from some earlier cruise. Has anyone used these for cooking? Ideas? Smores? Chocolate chunck cookies? Melted to make a chocolate sauce? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNSfromHI Posted September 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2022 This a fun question 😃 During our recent cruise -- even though I love chocolate -- I just didn't want to eat that morsel on my pillow late in the evening/night, and my wife doesn't care for chocolate at all. Thus, I just started stacking those things on the coffee-service tray. By the end of our 12-night cruise, there was quite a stack of those buggers. I left them there but now wish I'd packed 'em so I could use them in a recipe later -- or at least snarf them! cjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted September 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Yuck. Given the low amounts of actual cocoa or pure chocolate in those pillow candies, I wouldn't try to bake with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say how tasty the squares were since I didn't eat one the entire time 😆 cjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe there was orange, too. I used to collect them and give them to my TA. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it is consistent but all of the ones we have received are a mixture of Dark and Milk. Some nights milk some nights dark. My preference is the dark. I keep them around for the Grandkids. They love them and not enough to give them a sugar high before I send them home.

LOL - I would hate to show a picture of our Chocolate stash. On our B3B and our attendant would always leave at least 4 each night. One night he made a smiley face with about a dozen of them. Maybe ask for the Dark and see if he's holding them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our next cruise this spring, I will at least try a few so I don't make this mistake again. cjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted September 26, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I bring a stash back from every cruise… Each time our son and GF stay with us I put them on their pillows…Always brings a smile and happy memories…Who cares what they taste like? They are simply a gesture of decadence on your pillow that reminds you that you are on vacation… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean exactly like the bag of milk chocolate morsels that everyone alive uses to make chocolate chip cookies? To the OP, they'd be perfect for smores or break them up and use them in cookies.

Shadow9612 Posted September 27, 2022 #21 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I eat them post-cruise to help minimize the withdrawal symptoms from no longer being on a cruise. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare go.without.you Posted September 27, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I take them back to my co-workers because I don't care about them enough to actually spend money on them. Sorry, not sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
