Enjoying Dark Chocolate
Want something to balance the savory taste of your meal? Go for dark chocolate. Even a little amount can do the trick, that’s why it’s the go-to dessert of a lot of chocoholics who want a healthy lifestyle.
Savor dark chocolate by doing some or all of these:
1. Make it you workday treat!
In the middle of a particularly demanding day, take a break, and much on some dark chocolate. It will melt away stress as it melts in your mouth.
2. Make it a staple in your relaxing ritual.
“Me time” is not complete without your heartwarming comfort food. Cap off the experience with some dark chocolate in hand.
3. Bring it to family dinner and game night.
Sharing some dark chocolate with the ones closest to your heart can work magic. Pass around a few pieces after the home cooked meal you all just devoured.
4. It’s perfect for a wine-tasting party.
Host a wine tasting party and entertain friends in a casual setting. Get a wide array of wine along with different kinds of cheese, fruits and dark chocolates to bring out different notes in each one.
5. Toss in some chocolate on your next brunch with your girl friends.
Catch up with your girls over brunch. Talk about anything and everything under the sun. It’s even better when done in your house, with your homemade dishes to boot. End the meal with a few bites of dark chocolate.
How do you enjoy your dark chocolate?

Q&A: How long before the party should I prepare chocolate?
Question by Gryph’s Mama: How long before the party should I prepare chocolate?
I made white chocolate suckers from a mold for my son’s birthday party. I put them in individual baggies, then wrapped them in plastic wrap, and placed them in the refrigerator about a month ago. His birthday party is on January 18th— How long before the party can I prepare them (thaw and put in sucker bags with ribbon) so that they still taste “fresh”?
Best answer:
Answer by keswickian
I would leave it till the day before the party if they thaw out to early the chocolate might not taste good. Sometimes chocolate that has been around gets an off taste and when dark chocolate is frozen, it gets a white apperance to it. If you have extras, maybe taste one and check out the taste. It only takes a little time to defrost chocolate so leave them frozen as long as possible or bag them and keep them frozen. Just put all of them into a large plastic container to keep the party bags looking good.
