No matter how early it is in the morning, in my mind chocolate always sounds like a good idea. If you run into me at 9 am, I’ve probably already eaten chocolate in some form that day.

    These all look delicious, especially the chocolate cheesecake boatmeal! I seriously have to try that.

    I usually eat a big bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries, or a bowl of buckwheat with some melted butter. I think I would like to try it with melted coconut butter and chocolate chips next! 🙂

    Just looking at all this chocolate feeds to my chocolate obsession. 😉 Chocolate oatmeal is my weakness in the morning — with a dollop of peanut butter on top, it’s Reese’s heaven. 🙂
