Tell your friends to ease up. Life is supposed to be about more than sharing pics! 🙂

Lol, every time I’m on my phone and someone makes a comment about it, I tell them “social media is my life!!!!” I’m not sure if they’re taking it seriously or not, but I’m certainly not! Or if I don’t update my status regularly, my ‘friends’ think I’m depressed and then gossips to my ex so he can gloat. Ugghhh /endrant.

The chocolate bars look awesome and I love the swirl effect. Peanut butter is a huge plus! I’m not all about that diet, so feel free to pass some my way. 😉

Sugar-shaming is the newest fad, and it’s just as stupid as the low-fat craze of the 80s. Balance, people! Why doesn’t anyone get that?

Yep, I try not to be glued to social media, which means my blogging success is more limited. But it’s probably a worthwhile trade!

All true and well said, Medha. It is completely card-stacking, but I wonder who it benefits. Apparently not our self-esteem!

You are the best of humanitarians, Annie. And we should read exclusively food blogs because we’re all so nice!

I so agree with you!! I’m SO tired of the sugar-shaming. I was just ranting to my husband about it today. It’s not healthy not to give into cravings sometimes, it’s all about moderation!! And I LOVE THESE!

Haaa! Haaa! Loved this post. They say people can get very depressed from looking at too much social media because everyone’s life looks perfect. Perfect like these bars! Oh my! Wish I could get my hands on one.

I’ve been having a lot of conversations with people my age about how social media perpetuates depression among college students, especially freshmen who are adjusting to the new lifestyle. Seeing pictures of everyone seemingly 100% happy and with a friend group right at the beginning of the school year can make people feel inadequate and isolated. I definitely don’t have a solid friend group and college is hard (I mean, it’s been ONE semester) but when I look at my own FB albums, I realize how much I’m contributing to that pool of happy projections. It’s interesting because it’s not lying to post your happiest moments online, it’s just card-stacking, because it feeds into the belief that you feel that great 24/7. ANYWAYS, these bars look amazing! I don’t think I will ever get over a good PB/chocolate dessert.

This is my kinda Friday fun! If you need a place to send them, I am willing to take them off your hands…such a humanitarian. 😉 I hear you on the social media front. Between its phoniness and the sadness we see on the news 24/7, I think we should all just stick to reading food blogs – what do you think?! Have a great weekend, my friend!
