What could be sweeter than chocolate for dessert? Or any other time?

I have almost finished my box of See's Candy my husband gave me for Valentine's Day. With only a few pieces left, I'm already craving more. Chocolate is so satisfying in the winter when the rain is pounding on the roof. Chocolate is so solid when the wind wants to blow your house away. So how do you get the message across that chocolate is a necessity of life? You give some subtle hints on your apparel. Or you put them on your mug so that anyone you drink your hot beverage with can see that chocolate would be he perfect accompaniment to your coffee or tea.

Should I be Eating Chocolate?

When I consider all the sweets I could be eating, chocolate candy in limited amounts (there's the rub) seems to satisfy my sweet tooth without putting the extra pounds on. It also can help remove tension and dark chocolate even contains antioxidants. I tell myself it's not the chocolate that's bad for me, it's the sugar that comes with it. Dark chocolate seems to have less sugar. Compared to some of the decadent chocolate desserts you can buy in restaurants, chocolate candy is tame. Did you know that Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie contains the same calorie count as three Big Macs? How does 1,590 calories and 220 grams of carbs sound?

I don't understand why so many "so called" chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said.

    I could live on dark chocolate. Thank goodness there are so many dairy-free chocolate treats nowadays or I'd really be in trouble. LOL

    I love a good bite of rich dark chocolate late at night, preferably at bedtime. Not much, just a bite.

    Vikk, you have remarkable self control. I'm afraid I don't stop with just one bite.
