Holy Môlé

Written by hootenannie on December 14th, 2010

The best Lärabar that ever existed was Cocoa Môlé – but earlier this fall, they retired the flavor, so I gnashed my teeth and tore my sackcloth.

But late on Friday afternoon, Miranda pointed me toward an announcement on their Facebook wall:

We just uncovered 35 boxes of Cocoa Môlé (16 bars/box). It’s the last of the stash and everyone here agrees that we should give them away. Since we only have a small amount, we’re asking that you share with us an ‘Ode to Môlé’ – a video, a song, an illustration, something that demonstrates how deeply you care for that lovable Cocoa Môlé. Good luck!

So on Saturday, I wrote a little song.

And yesterday at work, Miles and I made a little video.

Behold:

I hope “Holy Môlé” is stuck in your head all day long.  And I really, really hope they send me a box.

    1. How have I not heard of this deliciousness until now?
    2. Mission accomplished as your song is now stuck in my head (love it-they better send you a box).
    3. Annie, you rock.

    I just saw that the person who checks the Larabar marketing email was on the road yesterday and could check it. So no worries, they will contact you today to hire you. :)

    I think you deserve all of the. Who else could come up with such a great song in such a short amount of time? You’re a rockstar Annie Parsons!
    And now I must listen to your music all day while I do finals. Sadly your EP is packed away at the bottom of our camper, but thank goodness for computers and Internet connection!

    Amazing – I agree they should give you the bunch and sign you to do ads for the rest! What are they going to get that rivals this?

    SMILE AS BIG AS YOU CAN is right. You killed it, no one else will hold a candle to that.

    Also, how on earth did you and Miles both keep a straight face? Impressive.

    I can’t speak to the tastiness of cocoa mole bars (though I like the chocolate-chile combo), but you have a pretty, pretty voice.

    Not only should you win all 35 boxes, but Larabar should bring back the flavor for you! Amazing.

    I can’t believe that you just threw this together. Musical talent just drips off of you.

    Enjoy the candy!

    I sang the chorus all morning. And I suck at falsetto.

    Thanks a lot, Annie.

    Just so you know. You bring joy and laughter to my sometimes cave-like stay at home momness. I and my children thank you :-)

    You must tell us all about it when they send you a box!

    I came back to listen to your song, again, after today’s post, and just wanted to let you know that my cat settled in to listen with me. She appreciates great music ;).
