I am well-supplied ... enough in stock to hold until another sale pops 
up. (I hope)

NB>  DD> For the other - we have two ALDI location,

I parse the grocery ads - we get two sets. One set in the Sunday paper 
and another in the Wednesday paper (for different markets). If I am on a 
stock-up run I will do a route that is convenient and as inexpensive as 
I can make it. The only warehouse club we have here is ScAM'S and since 
they are part of China-Mart ..........  I did a fair amount of work to 
try to entice COSTCO to open a location here. And by stirring the pot 
and finding out what tax-increment-financing was available, traffic 
counts, census data, etc I may have inadvertently tipped the new Hy-Vee 
store that is a-building next to my work place - as that is the location 
I had proposed (with numbers) to COSTCO's real estate department. Oh, 
well. The nearest COSTCO to me remains in St. Louis - a couple hours 
away.    Damn!

NB>  DD> ALDI has added 85% Dark chocolate from Moser-Roth to their 70%

NB> Sounds good... :)

      Title: Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Pie
 Categories: I scream, Pies, Desserts, Sauces, Chocolate
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    2/3 c  Semi-sweet chocolate chips
      1 tb Instant coffee
      2 tb Boiling water
      4 lg Eggs; separated
    1/3 c  Sugar
      1 ts Vanilla
    1/8 ts Salt
           Fine, dry bread crumbs for
           - dusting the pie plate
      1 qt No-sugar-added ice cream;
           - softened in refrigerator
           - for 15 minutes
    1/4 c  Chocolate cookie crumbs

MMMMM----------------DARK+DIVINE CHOCOLATE SAUCE---------------------
    3/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 ts Fresh lemon juice
    1/3 c  + 1 tb unsweetened cocoa
           - powder
      1 tb Butter
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
 
  In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon
  juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon
  until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high and
  bring the syrup to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
  
  Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder
  and butter until blended and slightly thickened. Cool to
  room temperature. Strain into a serving bowl and stir in
  the vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until
  ready to serve. The sauce will keep up to 2 weeks in the
  refrigerator.
  
  Makes about 1 cup sauce.
  
  MAKE THE PIE:
  
  Preheat oven to 350oF/175oC.
  
  Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and
  dust with fine bread crumbs.
  
  Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot
  (not boiling) water. Dissolve the instant coffee in the 2
  tablespoons boiling water and add to chocolate. Stir
  occasionally with a wire whisk. When the chocolate is
  almost melted, remove from heat and whisk until smooth.
  Meanwhile, using a mixer, beat egg yolks until thick.
  Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is thick and
  lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat the
  chocolate and vanilla into the yolk mixture.
  
  In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until
  stiff but not dry. Stir one-third of the whites into the
  chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites
  until blended.
  
  Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pie plate. Bake for 25
  minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire
  rack. As it cools, the mixture sinks in the middle to form
  a thick fudgy pie shell.
  
  Spoon the softened ice cream into the cooled shell. Smooth
  with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle with cookie
  crumbs and freeze until ready to serve.
  
  Yield: 8 servings
  
  Serving size: 1 slice with 1 tablespoon Dark and Divine
  Chocolate Sauce
