    This seems dangerous... I don't think I could stop at one piece of chocolate! :laugh: Sounds great, though!

    If you use dark chocolate...it will just hit the spot! I glanced at the post of yours when first opening it and thought? HUH?:noway: Dangeous! Ya had me laughing as soon as I realized what you really meant!:tongue::laugh:

    I was never a dark chocolate fan in the past but now I keep a bar of it in the freezer (85% cacao, with chili peppers..yea you heard that right, :tongue: nice zing to it!) and just break off a small square when I'm in the mood for something different.

    Sure comes in handy on the overwhelming PMS moments..that's for sure. Unlike milk chocolate which is much harder, I find:noway: to eat only one piece, there's just something different about the dark where you tend not to need more than one piece stuck on your tongue melting.:laugh:
