Need chocolate suggestions

nowic

I love Dove Dark chocolate candy bar They are 190 cals for 5 squares I think, It lasts me all day, I just suck on it to get the most flavor- YUMMY!!

I hear you and I will admit that for the longest time I didn't get it...but imagine this....you have no sugar for like 2-4 wks nothing sweet than you eat a piece of dark chocolate, it sure won't taste like it used to. Honestly that's how i got hooked, i really and truly savor each nibble of it now and the chocolate flavor is so much more intense. I'd say start with 72% if you aren't used to the really bitter stuff.

Haha! That actually sounds like it would work! I can see how you got hooked like that. I usually don't eat sweet at all and don't allow myself so much as a "cheat" day, but the scenario you created actually sounds like the perfect chocolate craving killer! I'll make sure to look for 72% when I get an intense craving. Any specific brand that's the best or that you recommend?

Yeah actually Ghiradelli has a bar and a bag of squares called Twilight. Then play with the different brands from there if you are having just one or two squares a day it's actually beneficial antioxidant wise. I love going to Cost Plus World Market and trying different imported foods and that goes for imported chocolates as well!

P.S. I know I'm 35 and my teens would kill me but can I have your hair? It's awesome and so fits that spunky pic! :glasses:

Okay! Ghiradelli--check! I'm actually kind of excited for my next chocolate craving now! I heard that dark chocolate is so good as far as antioxidants go, that's part of the reason I really want to gain a taste for it I don't think I have a Cost Plus World Market around me though...I've never heard of it! Do you know of any generic stores that sell imported foods and chocolates? Like, would something like a farmer's market work? There's one by me that sells tons of goodies from all over the world that I've never heard of!

P.S. HAHA! You're too funny! You could totally have my hair! I mean, it doesn't look that way anymore; that bright red totally faded and now I'm left with more of a dull copper color Red is SO difficult to maintain, that's why I'm getting my hair redyed on Saturday. I'm going platinum blonde with dark brown layers underneath I'll change my picture to something equally as spunky!

The farmers market I'm sure will work as far as finding interesting imported dark chocolates Like I found one that had dried crunchy bits of unsweetened berries in it, Yummy! Ghiradelli as you know is everywhere! Can't wait to see the new pic I bet it's gonna look great!
