Also, I unleashed my werewolf, Maxie Briscoe over at my friend Sloane Taylor's blog today, so head on over and see what she's up to.
Chocolate makes the world, heck the universe, spin as far as I am concerned. I love it in just about everything. Chocolate milk, chocolate martinis, chocolate cake, chocolate chips, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate...You get the idea. I think my favorite chocolate, though is dark chocolate. Plain, bittersweet, melts- in- my- mouth dark chocolate. I love to eat it in whole bars, chocolate chips, drizzled over fruit and you know, it makes great body paint. Close your mouth, you knew I would put something naughty in here, I am an erotica writer after all. LOL
Dark chocolate is also incredibly good in brownies, ice cream and almond bark. So very many ways to enjoy this gift from the gods. Plus, unlike it's milk cousin, dark chocolate is good for you. It's an antioxidant machine, it prevents arteries from clogging and can reduce blood pressure. Plus, for a diabetic like me, it has a low glycemic index which means it keeps my blood sugar from spiking. How's that for awesome?
So, I wanna know, how do you take your chocolate?
At least you found a chocolate you can devour and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am oh so thankful for that. I can't imagine no chocolate in my life. LOL
DeleteI need Nutella. Stat.
ReplyDeleteMy nephews love that stuff.
DeleteI love dark and milk. I really enoy those little Dove chocolates. One or two is enough to satisfy. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose little Doves are wonderful. My mom and my friend both keep a stash. :)
DeleteHaven't tasted any chocolate in months. What?! I try to lose some weight, and it's working. Love chocolate though. Love it rich and creamy, with almonds or strawberry filling. I'm a huge fan of white chocolate as well. It's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou are a stronger person than I. Not having chocolate would kill me. :)I love those white chocolate chips and when they dip pretzels in it.
DeleteChocolate is my LIFEBLOOOOD!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm quite a chocoholic and there's always some chocolate in my cupboard. Currently I'm pretty addicted to orange-flavored dark chocolate, but I'm also a huge fan of caramel-chocolate, strawberry chocolate, white chocolate, marzipan chocolate, etc etc yada yada... :D
A man after my own heart. I think my blood type is chocolate LOL The orange flavored stuff is great. I like it with chili pepper and cinnamon, too.
DeleteHaven't tried cinnamon yet, but chili chocolate is cool. Was very skeptical at first, but then I realized it really tastes great :)
DeleteI like super dark chocolate all by itself, although I try to limit myself to a square or two a day.
ReplyDeleteA square or two of the really great stuff is very satisfying. I love the Lindt 75%. Mmm...
DeleteI love dark chocolate, too. It's so wonderful. If it's made right, it's not very bitter either.
ReplyDeleteDark is best, isn't it? And you're right, the really good stuff is not bitter at all.
DeleteMelissa, you're right. Chocolate is awesome and it works out well for you! I don't like dark chocolate myself. I prefer Symphony chocolate bars.
ReplyDeleteSymphoy bars are wicked awesome! There is just so much chocolatey goodness out there, I love it. :)
DeleteMmmmmm chocolate... nuff said!
ReplyDeleteYes sir, chocolate says it all. ;)
DeleteI take my chocolate any way possible. I wish I liked dark chocolate more than I do, though (milk chocolate's my preference), but I'm working on developing a preference for it. This means, I need to just keep eating lots of it. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBe well, Melissa. Great choco-post.
xoRobyn
Taking your chocolate any which way is perfect. Keep on eating more dark chocolate to see if you like it is a good way to develop a taste for it. I highly recommend this method. :)
DeleteBe well, too, my friend. Hugs!
I'm like you, Melissa. Dark, rich, and somewhat bitter. LOVE it!
ReplyDeletespeaking of erotica, I once watched a film (you will guess the genre) in which a Twix bar was used to fill something other than mouth but let us not got there, the kids are still up :)))
ReplyDeleteYou know, me gets pimples from chocolate, so I eat it maybe once a month. I don't like it in cakes for some reason,but I hear many people like chocolate but only as a product, not as a material for making other things. I love chocolates filled with fruit fillings, rum and similar naughty versions :) And I love me white chocolate as well.
OMG that Twix bar thing is naughty, naughty.;P
DeleteChocolate and rum is a combination i can highly recommend. And I love white chocolate chips. Yumm!
I love dark chocolate. When I was teaching, I always had a supply in my closet. At least until the rest of the staff found out...
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate rules! I had a stash at my old job as well. It helped keep me sane I tell you. And shame on people who steal your chocolate.
DeleteYes! Chocolate as a health food!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, isn't it?! I could definitely support that as a food group.
DeleteI've never had a chocolate martini, but it sounds yummy!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate martinis are wonderful. There is a place here called the Mashed Potato Bar and they have a magnificent chocolate martini.
DeleteChocolate martini? That's a new one. Like all the benefits you pointed out for eating chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to know that there health benefits to our favorite sweet? And I highly recommend a chocolate martini. They are delicious. :)
DeleteI haven't tried a chocolate martini, but I'm game for that.
ReplyDeleteTry one and I guarantee you will love it, Brinda. :)
DeleteDark chocolate is best; the darker the better. I've 2 small bars of dark chocolate in my fridge but since I'm on this health kick I'm not really able to indulge :(
ReplyDeleteYou're a stronger person than I. Health kick or not, those chocolate bars would not last in my fridge. ;)
DeleteI never realized that dark chocolate has a low glycemic index! Thanks for joining the blogfest!
ReplyDeleteAwesome isn't it? Guilt free dark chocolate eating from here on out. And you are so welcome. I loved joining this blogfest. It was my fave subject. :)
DeleteI like my chocolate with peanut butter. It just tastes great that way.
ReplyDeleteChocolate and PB are a Delicious Dynamic Duo. :)
DeleteSlutty Brownies google it...I don't recommend them only during a Blue Moon! lol
ReplyDeleteI just love it in its natural state or homemade Fudge or Brownies or....tee,hee!
Yes, I knew you would go there ;D
Hi Ella! Slutty brownies are the best once-in-a-Blue-Moon treat. What a sugar rush. :)
DeleteFudge is wonderful as are brownies. Yummm
LOL ;)
Ah! The chocolate is overwhelming! I don't like chocolate so I can't cash in on those health benefits, lol.
ReplyDeleteNot like chocolate?! My sister-in-law doesn't like it either. I think that leaves more health benefits for me, so thank you! :)
DeleteHow do I take my chocolate? Any way I can get it, Sister. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI heart me some Belgian chocolate (you know those seahorses? YUM!). Also love me some Lindt Hazelnut and Milk Chocolate truffles, and Godiva's Salted Caramel Bar...Lord...I think I need a moment...smelling salts, anyone? Anyone?
Some Dark Romantic
Amen! Belgian chocolate rules. The Lindt truffles are wonderful. Have you had a Lindt chocolate party yet? Heaven!
DeleteSmelling salts are right here. I need some as well. ;)
