Chocolate

[Eleora]

Hi all....new to this area. Fab fourties?!!?! Better believe it!!!!

Anyhoo, I've noted the threads on coffee and spas. Wonderful!!!! Enjoy both... But, what about chocolate?

Chocolate is purported to have flavanoids that work wonders for the body in small amounts, providing that the cocoa content is high enough. Generally, the healthier chocolate is the more bitter type.

So, who are our chocolate lovers? Do you like milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Do you like your chocolate plain, in a bar, filled, in cookies, ice creams, hot cocoa...? What is your very favorite chocolate? Better yet, do you keep a stash for emergencies? Finally, chocolate seems to be a female thing by and large. So, are there any fellows here that actually like chocolate?

I love just about any chocolate! I'm acquiring more of a taste for dark, just because it's better for you. I love Hershey's, M&Ms, Mocha Capuccino coffee, yum.....but all in moderation!

Yes, it's definitely best in moderation. I used to keep semi sweet chips in the freezer and just eat a few to stave off those chocolate cravings. Now, however, I get the 67 to 70 % bars for the freezer. It's really good cold.

Hi there and welcome! I'm new here too. I like chocolate but my favorite treat is cheese. I do love chocolate with other things such as nuts, peanut butter and even pretzels. Fanny May chocolates are very good, but they're available only in certain areas. Valentine's Day is coming soon!

Chocolate is definitely good with just about anything nutty - including coconut.

Now cheese... That's another great food. I like the harder and sharper cheeses like asiago, romano...

And, yes, Valentine's Day is approaching - along with my 19 year anniversary. Wow! Time flies!!!

Oh, welcome to you too!

I must be a weirdo. I am not all that crazy about chocolate.
I mean, once in a great while, I'll share some with my kids.
They are not big chocolate eaters, either. We are all weird.

I've got a sweeter tooth following my hysterectomy!! I quite like chocolate but I only eat very small quantities eg I cant eat a whole mars bar - you have those in USA yes? My kids get frustrated because I am the only person they know who has christmas sweets left after easter .....unlike them.

I like milk chocolate best. I like it in all of the above forms. I don't keep a stash for emergencies though because I eat it instead of stash it.

Hi there!

I lived in England for about three years in the 90s...still have friends there who come visit me her periodically in the States. Anyhoo, one of my friends popped over before Christmas and brought some British choccie.

I have to admit though, it was nice being able to get liquor-filled (specifically brandy) chocolates in the Tescos. While I'm not a drinker by any stretch, the brandy filled choccies were wonderful for a cold.
