OK, I am branching out--I stepped outside my safe, milk-chocolate zone and bought a bar of the dark chocolate (Green and Black's Fair Trade chocolate), per Nikki's suggestion. Their milk chocolate is absolutely yummy--the best. It has 34% cocoa content. But the dark chocolate had 70% cocoa content! I have always said that although I like chocolate, I am not a true chocoholic, and that you can tell a true chocoholic from a run-of-the-mill enjoyer of chocolate in several ways. 1) and this should be obvious---the chocoholic always chooses chocolate over other possible snacks and treats, and 2) a non-chocoholic prefers milk chocolate while the chocoholic prefers dark chocolate. Now that I have seen the actual cocoa content from the labels, I feel that my theory is validated.
However, I am discovering, perhaps because of this Green and Black's absolutely marvelous chocolate, that I am developing an appreciation for dark chocolate!! I used to not need chocolate except on occasion, but in past few years (I think related to my meds), I crave chocolate a lot and need to have at least a little bit of it most days. I am also becoming quickly addicted to Green and Black's! That is all I need--to become a chocoholic in my forties, at my weight!!
