Heavenly Feasting

Why is chocolate especially delicious during this time of year? Perhaps it is a result of lenten fasting, or maybe it is the grocery store's abundant supply of Easter treats that makes it so irresistible. Either way, I know that I am not the only one grabbing a serving (or three) of this rich, sweet, creamy, dark, melt-in-your-mouth gift from above.

I have no doubt that chocolate is a small taste of Heaven. It contributes to our well-being by lowering blood pressure, providing anti-oxidants and even helping to balance our hormones. It stimulates endorphins, contains serotonin, provides us with good fats, and tastes oh-so-good.

Dark, milk, white, nut-filled, truffled, caramel-filled, bittersweet, or creamy... Oh Chocolate, why are you so good to me?
