Nobody Puts my Candy in a Corner!
As I mentioned in my first post, I love sweets. I do. Let's take a moment. Creme Brulee. Banana Cream Pie. Rice Krispie Treats. Cheesecake. Sugar Cookies. Key Lime Pie. All yummy. As long as it does not have nuts or freshly baked fruit, I'm in. There is, however, one sensual source of satisfaction that soars above the rest of all other sweets and that is rich, creamy milk chocolate. I would pick a chocolate dessert before almost any other on a menu. I would pick a plain milk chocolate candy bar that slowly melts in my mouth section by section over more complicated and convoluted choices any day! The problem...dark chocolate is so much better for you! I keep hearing it on the news. I hear it here, I hear it there, I hear it, hear it everywhere! Truth is, I think I'd rather learn to like dark chocolate than not have any chocolate. I've experimented. Dabbled if you will. I've tried 75% cocoa and up. I haven't found much I've loved. I just heard again that dark chocolate can lower blood pressure, decrease risk of stroke, lesson depression, etc. Any thoughts?

Hmmm...Trader Joe's makes a 65% (I think) that I really like. try different brands & see if you like any one in particular? Dr. Oz says we should all have 1 oz. of dark per day :) GREAT excuse to get your daily fix!!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust get Dove Dark Chocolate Squares! I love them and there is a cute little encouraging message on the foil:)
ReplyDeleteOhhh. Those sound good. Do you only eat one at a time? haha.
ReplyDeleteI was talking about the Dove chocolates. I really like Dove.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Trader Joe's, I've just started trying some of their chocolates and I've found a couple bars I really like...still, if I go too far up in percentage of darkness, it's too bitter.
