will work for dessert

I wanted to share some recent findings, which will hopefully put your Valentine’s Day in a better light. Last week at my workout class, a nice person gave one of the instructors a box of dark chocolate candies. The instructor was nice and offered the chocolates to everyone, but I turned down the offer with a, “No thanks, on my diet for Vegas”. She replied with, “But they’re dark chocolate so they’re good for you”.

While yes dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate, it’s still hard for me to turn down chocolate in any case since I have such a sweet tooth. While, I didn’t receive any chocolate myself for Valentine’s Day, I’m sure a lot of you have. But never fear; feel free to eat that chocolate! (Hopefully it’s dark chocolate, and be mindful of moderation :p) A recent study has proven that chocolate helps reduce stress! That is good news; hopefully my future bakery will cater to stressful-chocolate-loving people. Hah! I had this article saved from last year that I wanted to post previously, but never got around to it. But now seemed like a good time to post about chocolate. Here are the articles from the American Study and from the Swiss Study.

Bonbon Appetite! (Hehe, couldn’t resist)
