I’ve never been gaga over chocolate, but my 3 year old LOVES dark chocolate, the darker the better. It’s pretty funny because she is totally disdainful of milk chocolate. Her refined chocolate palate is giving me a new appreciation.
I came across your sweet post on StumbleUpon and had to stop by being the chocoholic I am…need to go and raid my pantry right now.

thanks for the 10 comments, I knew chololate had to be good for me, I love it.
I did know most of these facts and some I didn’t. What surprised me though was #3,’The Swiss consume the most chocolate per capita, although the US produces the most chocolate and consumes the most pounds per year.’ I was really shocked at this. I would have bet cold hard cash that it was the other way around. Learned my something new today
