A lot of “dark chocolate” actually has very little dark chocolate. Actual dark chocolate is rather tart in flavor.

So, next time I order my milk chocolate - peanut clusters and/or some of those Turtles, can I start getting a Medical Discount? Maybe there are online Doctors, available 24)7 who will write me a Prescription for Chocolate!
Take 3 chocolate nut clusters 3 times a day, as needed for Sugar Fever.

Maybe that has something to do with what happened to that Insurance Executive. A certain course of treatment was denied as “Not Covered, due to Pre-existing diagnosis” And somebody went bonkers! ///

I used to prepare dark chocolate like lutefisk. Open the package, and throw it out.

Then I developed a taste for it. The chocolate, not the fish.

Dark chocolate is my favorite... of course, the Hershey Nuggets are my favorite format and a good choice for the budget conscious, but Hershey miniatures are cheaper by the ounce than those, and the selection (at least in the mixtures) are the same. The Special Dark is available as a single big bar, as well as bags of nuggets in the regular grocery store as opposed to the warehouse clubs.

Sorry, but this picture doesn't make it more palatable. Too much teeth.

> The study found that participants who consumed at least five ounces of any type of chocolate per week had a 10% lower risk of T2D compared to those who never or rarely consumed chocolate. <

Interesting. Thanks for posting, Red Badger.

But I wonder. Is it the chocolate itself that’s doing the trick, or is it something else that is reducing chocolate eaters’ diabetes risk?

For example, maybe they’re eating less sugary dark chocolate instead of very sugary candy bars. So it’s a sugar thing, not a chocolate thing.

My husband loved dark chocolate, the darker the better - often to the point of bitterness. I hate it, so he’d buy me milk chocolate. No wonder I fight my weight every day - and he never did.

They are a great many types of “dark chocolate”. Wish they were more specific about their definition of dark chocolate.

Hersheys Special Dark was my introduction to dark chocolate. Since then I’ve found many many dark chocolates (thank you Trader Joe’s) and have learned that HSD is hands down the worst dark chocolate. And yet, I still love it.
