When you've had a bad day or are feeling down, do you turn to chocolate (or chocolate cake, ice cream)? What is your favorite chocolate "pick me up"?
Chocolate always makes me feel better!!! My favorite is chocolate raspberry torte for those really, really bad days.

Chocolate definitely makes me feel better in general. I love dark chocolates and I only eat chocolates with 75% or above cocoa. Those are heaven for me. Whenever I feel depressed or stressed, I would have a piece of it and it really calms my nerves down and I could go right back to work after. But milk chocolate or white chocolates won't do the trick for me and I am not sure why. Oh and dark chocolate cakes! If I get to eat those, I would surely be in very good mood all day *laughs*.

Lucky you! I just love the nice bitterness there because I don't really enjoy sweet things very much. So whenever I see any dark chocolate dessert, I would go nuts and I just have to have it *laughs*. I always stock dark chocolate at home because sometimes something would drive me nuts and I need to have a "dose".

I can understand needing a dose! I allow myself to only have dark chocolate if I'm having any since I'm dieting and dark chocolate is essencially a diet-friendly treat.

I just had a diet dark chocolate cake from weight watchers and let me tell you... wow! Soooooo yummy, it tasted just like my favorite chocolate torte but with only like 1/4th the calories. I used to love white chocolate then I moved onto milk chocolate and now dark chocolate is my thing. I love that it's good for your heart, you can eat less of it and be more satisfied than with milk chocolate and it's great for baking.

I can't go to overboard with sweets or chocolate since I have a blood sugar problem but yes shhhh..this is just a secret between you and me...LOL--yes I do indulge from time to time. It has been proven that for some reason, chocolate is great for depression! And for some reason also helps women when they are having PMS! So no wonder its a great help for us women..right?

I won't tell as long as you don't! PMSing turns me into a chocolate craving monster, lol. If I could make a man out of chocolate... I'd so be married by now! Not for long though, surly I'd be a widow before long or he'd at least walk around missing limbs, lol.

Mmm, oh yeah, chocolate can make me feel better. Although I don't need the extra pounds! lol I had some chocolate today. We went to Sees Candy, which is the best candy store I've ever been to. They give free samples just for going in their store. Ahh... I didn't buy that many and I wish I had one left right now. Mmm..

Certainly chocolates make me feel better and gives me energy. My favourite one is chocolate coated with nuts like almond in it.

There are some times a craving can really hit and having the chocolate makes me feel good. Fortunately for me, the cravings are very far and few. I should consider myself lucky, I know people who need chocolate all the time.
