and a little chocolate to finish the meal.
I get a hankering for chocolate after most meals.
It used to just be after dinner, but my daily temptation for a morsel of chocolate has started showing up for lunch as well. In fact, I have been known to tuck a single chocolate, truffle, chocolate covered mint or chocolate covered pretzels into my children's brown bags.
Well... chocolate is good for you... just in moderation and the darker it is the easier to justify its health benefits. Here are a number of links---no doubt there are many more---that give a nice overview of the health benefits of chocolate:
- USA weekend magazine
- Stuffed Chocolate
- Why is Dark Chocolate Healthy?
- WebMD on dark chocolate and here re: blood pressure

Chocolate is wonderful! The picture you posted has me drooling! :o) You don't happen to know how to make that piece of chocolate sitting on top of the book, do you???
Bess: I wish!!! It is store-bought, but I am going to post all about that EXACT chocolate in the next day or two:). Then I will see if I can link you up and you can order some (in case they aren't at a store near you). They are SO good!
Bess: The online site to order the chocolates is 'under construction' though it looks pretty far along... all that to say it will be a few more days until I post on the chocolate. Once people are salivating, I want them to be able to find/buy them!
Thanks for your patience!
