Anyone here like a little Chocolate?

Chocolatier Jacques Torres holds a large sheet of milk chocolate almond bark at his Chocolate Haven in New York in this Jan. 27, 2005 file photo, The truth is bittersweet: While something in cocoa beans may be good for your heart, that is no reason to load up on chocolate bars or brownies. Not that chocolate lovers need a reason to indulge. The health potential is real. Cocoa beans have antioxidant compounds called flavanols, and a growing pile of scientific research suggests that flavanols do good things to blood vessels. Trouble is, flavanols make chocolate and cocoa taste bitter, and confectioners have spent years perfecting ways to remove the pungent flavor. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, Files)

4. Same here
I love a real dark bitter chocolate - my favourite is Green and Black's (a very sound company to boot).
