One small square of dark chocolate a day is good for you, the antioxidants.

Unfortunately it's one small square

We just got finished eating ham, eggs, toast for brunch. Stayed in bed half the day?

Now I'm going to eat a piece of ChocoNuvo.

I eat chocolate daily. I'm addicted. LOL!!!

I have a dedicated candy shelf in the pantry with some smaller sized sea salt chocolate bars, vanilla chocolate bars, dark chocolate bars, sea salt caramels, peanut butter cups & Knopper's from Aldi's. I also have a bag of Yum Earth organic candy drops. Not to mention 2 large bags of ChocoNuvo.

I stopped eating milk chocolate a long time ago. When I worked in the international division of our food company, everyday our candy dishes would be filled with European chocolates like Cote D'Or. That was it for me. Milk chocolate is now too sweet for me.

My favorite has been the miniature dark chocolate KitKats.

@roeroe1005

A few years ago at a gas station, of all places, I found regular size KitKat bars with DARK chocolate. They were out of this world. Haven't found them ever again.

I even took one into the manager of Giant supermarket...he loved it but " no shelf room. "

I don't need another thing to do the ration act with, lol !

I would love to take mine in the m&m's form.

Don't eat them much anymore but sometimes after a holiday I will buy a bag

on clearance to share with someone.

We're never without Bake Beleive chocolate chips in the house - all three flavor levels, but the dark is supposedly the best one. I also add a little cocoa bean extract to my first cup of coffee in the morning.

We shared a dark chocolate bar tonight. I'm not a big chocolate eater, so gave my husband four segments and I had two. I take tiny bites and let them slowly melt, whereas he virtually inhales chocolate.

I love milk chocolate. I know it doesn't have the health benefits of dark chocolate, but, I just don't like the bitterness.

I am so going to use that. LOL

I won't lie, I love chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate but any chocolate except white will make me happy. It's a psychological boost. It makes me feel good. But I don't keep it here in the house because I cannot limit or control myself so I buy a bar when the grandkids are here . I eat 2-3 squares and give the rest to them.

Huh .... I see Dark and Chocolate Mint Kit Kats in the checkout lines all over the place. Walmart and Kroger are my first thoughts.

I recall a Food Network show about candy from other countries and how it compares to what we consume.

The host talked about Japan's versions of Kit Kat, and they actually make them with a seaweed or fish flavoring in the candy! Ew.

Go figure .....

@Tinkrbl44

Since DH loves to do the grocery shopping ( and cooking ) I haven't been through Walmart's regular checkout lane. There's nothing at the self-checkout lanes to speak of.

Hmmm...

As for the Japanese seaweed....uh NO !!!

Best is the 70% for ultimate benefit.

Some are made with alkaline which reduces the benefits. I think it's called Dutched process (I heard this one time about dark chocolate). Some well known brands do this.

And no the chocolate doesn't come with its own windmill.

Or tulips.🤪
