Hi mrsD,
Dove is my FAVORITE chocolate. I have tried your tactics of letting one slowly melt in my mouth. Oh, how wonderful to savor. The problem is I always want MORE when it comes to Dove so I have to stay away from it completely. It is too good to stop with one. If it sounds like I have a problem with self control, I do when it comes to Dove. The only way I can control my Dove consumption is to NOT have it in the house at all.
I can use self-control with many other things but Dove kicks my self control out the window.
