Who loves chocolate?
One substance that has always amazed me is chocolate. It is one of the most sought after substances for it's rich taste and texture. Other benefits are it's low caffeine compared to coffee and the flavonoids contained therein!
I especially like the dark variety at about 70% dark. It is very rewarding and rich ad packs a great reward. Often these chocolates are wrapped in gold or silver tinsel which studies have shown adds to their taste appeal!
Chocolate was originally sourced from central America like so many substances that showed healing properties. Natives used this and European settlers picked up on it.
Most fruits have been dipped in chocolate to enhance the taste and it is a great culinary gift combination . Peppers and vegetables now are immersed to further explore tastes.
Too much of a good thing can be hijacked and distorted by marketing hype however. Be cautious in its use as you seek out rewards for a hard days work here. Some "studies show distorted data. Information if interested is at the following site!

Thanks for this Mike and I have to say I am a lover of chocolate and my favourite is plain chocolate and the darker the better.
If I have to pick, my favourite plain chocolate is Bournville, my favourite milk chocolate is Dairy Milk and my favourite white chocolate is Milky Bar.
My favourite filling for chocolate is coffee creams. xxx
Mmmm.... me. It is often my downfall when trying for a healthy intake of food. The milk chocolate with mint is my favourite
With Grace and Gratitude

Chocolate is great and I read the more dark it is, the better it is for you. Now I got a craving for chocolate, thanks Mike!
Chocolate is a food group...or at least it should be. Dark chocolate is my favorite too.

Good Morning Mike.
Still, you would be better off with the 85% dark chocolate. This one is even better for your health.

Yes, I said that above. The darker the better so we get more cocoa and less sugar.
Hello, Jessica, I had not read your comment but it is nice we agree.
