Creamy Chocolate...

Guess it wouldn't be Valentine's Day if I didn't mention something about Chocolate! Of course, everybody has their own favorite... mine are Swiss and Belgian chocolates (far less sugar and more cacao than U.S. chocolate). But here in the U.S., I enjoy Dove Simply Smooth Dark Chocolate on a regular basis. Somewhere along the way, somebody said that dark chocolate is good for the heart. This particular variety of Dove dark chocolate has "cocoa flavanols" in it which makes it good for the arteries and the heart! I eat several small pieces daily, Dove Promises are a good way to keep this in control, lest I gain weight!

Dove Chocolate was created by a Greek-American gentleman named Leo Stefanos in the late 1930's with a candy shop in Chicago. In the 1950's, after his son went racing down the street after an ice cream truck, DoveBars were born. He created the bars out of blocks of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate, and for safety of his children. In the late 1970's, over 1 million DoveBars were sold by street vendors! What a hit!! Of course, we all know that the DoveBar is probably the most delectable ice cream bar on the planet! LOL

Other good organic chocolate I've tried are the Art Bars, made by Ithaca (NY) Fine Chocolates... fair trade certified Swiss chocolate bars that include a collectible card of art inside the wrapper!

All this chocolate reminds me of the computer game, Chocolatier. If you LOVE Chocolate and love buying chocolate, you'll probably enjoy this game! Have fun! ...and feel free to share your favorite Chocolate!
