Treating Myself With Dark Chocolate

Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always check out the dark chocolates. I browse around mooning over this dark chocolate bar and that one. I’m not usually a milk chocolate fan, I like the real thing, the higher the cocoa content the better.

Last week while I was browsing though the chocolate bars I decided to pick up a bar of Endangered Species Chocolate. I loved the wrapper, and 72% cocoa were both a bonus. It was also cool to note that 10% of the profits benefit species habitat and humanity.

I picked out a bar with cranberries and almonds, and when I got home I had to sample it right away. It definitely lived up to my expectation. It was fabulous. I paced myself and ate the bar over the next couple days. I think that’s why I usually only get one bar, if I got more than one I’d probably eat a whole bar in a day.

This way I have a little treat to look forward to every day. I love to eat dark chocolate very slowly, and savor the flavor as long as possible.
