I’m off the couch. Fun puzzle with a very nice aha moment.
But I must object to 1 down. “Chocolate substitute” ??? What a ridiculous concept! Chocolate is the world’s most perfect food! There are no substitutes! Yes, I knew what you were going for. I’ve even tried it. And it is no substitute for chocolate

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Off the couch with a collaboration with my solving partner @MaineMarge
I agree with @Dow Jones about having to google only one square.

Yup, @Bob cruise director and I did the teamwork and are OTC.
Loved it, Darth.
Now outside to enjoy some fall beauty by our farm pond down the road. Water, water everywhere..
