I just made a trip to my refrigerator/ freezor and grabbed two squares of dark chocolate... and I did not feel guilty at all for eating both squares of chocolate...
I am wondering if there are others of you who are like me...
Did finding out that dark chocolate had health benefits make you eat more of it?

It sounds like it is a healthy pleasure and there seem to be so few that it is refreshing when it is something that we actually like a lot.

I found out about four years ago that dark chocolate was actually healthy for you. At first I scoffed because the taste isn't really for me. Until I went to a French bakery in upper state New York. And their dark and white chocolate changed my mind about both of them. Now I don't dismiss dark chocolate as much as I used to.

It seems like it is highly addictive... It has got some chemicals in it which produce endorphins, feel good chemicals in the brain, and these make most women very, very happy.

I choose dark chocolate more now, even though I've always preferred dark chocolate to milk chocolate!
