During the summer months, Iraq is chocolate free. Â At temperatures of 120 degrees–not chocolate, except M&Ms, survives.
Now, as the weather has turned cooler–more and more people are craving chocolate. Â Chocolate is not sold at the PX–if it is there isn’t much because of the extreme temperatures in the summer. Â So, this is one item that Soldier don’t see a lot of . I have had a couple of boxes of left over Halloween candy ship in over the past week or so and the Soldier have loved it. Â It is not something they would ever ask for but they devour it when they see it. Â I brought one box full of chocolate to a Commander’s meeting–I’m very surprised any was left.
So, as you are preparing those boxes for your Soldier overseas–throw in a candy bar or two. Â They will love it.
