Do we really need an excuse to eat dark chocolate?

Cocoa tastes great in coffee.

40g of 80% dark chocolate can have almost as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. That should easily get you an extra 40ft on a treadmill.

"Cocoa tastes great in coffee."

Yes! The two just go together so well.

They just didn’t give them enough milk chocolate. More is better.

They sure do ... and coffee goes well with chocolate. I recently made a batch of tiramisu brownies -- they were to die for!

Sorry for the off topic drool inducer ... we now return you to your regular programming ;-)

But it’s bitter, and nasty. How can anyone eat it?

Buy squares of unsweetened bakers dark chocolate. Chop up 2-3 squares. Drizzle honey, molasses or maple syrup over them. Pinch of salt. Eat with spoon
You can add
nuts
peanut
raisins
etc
yogurt

LOL, they sound delicious.

We got a new Fresh Market store, and I went in there to check it out. They have the coffee and the chocolate stocked next to each other, and the aromas blend perfectly.

Cocoa has no sugar and very little fat.
Good for you.

But people somehow think that eating a Hershey bar is good for them. Or especially more expensive designer chocolate bars. Advertising and marketing suggests as much.

Just get powdered cocoa in the bulk bins, the kind without sugar. I like it in coffee or even stirred into a glass of nonfat milk. No sugar. Tried it in oatmeal, but don’t like it. You might:)

If you drink a glass of milk with it does it still do anything?

Unfortunately, those of us “hypertasters” can’t tolerate dark chocolate. An extract would be nice. I don’t know about straight cocoa.

Sounds like good product placement to me ;-)
