Remember the Tootsie Roll?  That's where it all began for me!  I remember I was three years old and I was having a tantrum and my mama stuck this sweet little tubular thing in my mouth and I went from crying to laughing hysterically. . .  Now, chocolate is a staple for me and BILLIONS of other people throughout the world!
