Marrakech Moroccan Las Vegas

As soon as I walked into Marrakech Moroccan restaurant we were greeted by the owner Tariq and the environment and mood made me feel alive! The belly dancer was working her way through the tables of patrons, the music was captivating and I was ready to eat, enjoy the show and dance!

We had the Prix Fixe 6 course menu. Every dish was tasty! Loved the shrimp with lemon/garlic sauce, beef & chicken was so moist and dessert was divine!

Just when I thought I couldn’t eat anymore the next dish would come out. I ate EVERY last bite. It was too good to pass up! I didn’t care how full I was…and that’s where the belly dancing came in!!!!

Microwaved Chocolate: Hershey’s & M&M’s

When I’m craving chocolate I love to have Hershey’s Milk Chocolate or Almond bars (sometime both at once) or M&M’s.I especially love it when its melting!
I usually microwave the chocolate of a full minute. It just depends on your microwave how long to go.
I prefer my Hershey bars to melt to the point that when I put my spoon in it its almost like a soup. Place on dish and melt away!
As for the M&M’s, the shell cracks and the inside melts. Take a handful and pop in your mouth. You can microwave it in the bag, just tear off the top or you can place it on a dish. Either way works. Melts in your mouth, not on your hands!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!! I know I do!!!!
