too much chocolate?

I know you're thinking, there is no such thing as too much chocolate! I used to think that too, until I had a booth at a chocolate festival. I heard 1000's (that's thousands) of times "Oh, I couldn't eat another bite!" and "I've had too much chocolate." and my personal favorite "I think I'm gonna puke!"

But, if you're not in an expo center filled with over a hundred chocolate vendors and 15 extra large chocolate fountains, those phrases will probably never pass your lips - or your mind!

I went through an obsession with homemade chocolate candies & treats about 8 years ago. For Mother's Day I made dozens of chocolates and packaged them in decorative stoneware casserole dishes for my mom and sisters. It was beautiful, simple, delicious, and wonderfully useful for years after the chocolates were savored and digested.

Then came word that chocolate was a superfood. Good for your cardiovascular system. But not just any chocolate, dark chocolate. You need to find chocolate that lists the cacao or cocoa content at 60% or above. Now we can add "good for you" to "divine," and "heavenly."
