There are some days that I crave chocolates. And then there are days that I don't at all get tempted to eat one, even if you offer me some. But then again, there are some chocolates that you think is just OK tasting, but when you get one, you keep on popping one after another in your mouth like it's never going to end, lol. Someone has just given me a box of almond chocolates. I think I'm addicted to it! I just can't stop.(:
How about you, do you have favorite chocolates that you can't seem to stop eating?hehe

I love chocolate very very much! I love its aromatic flavour and could easily got addicted to it. I love almost all kinds of chocolates but still not all. I like those pure chocolate and it really tastes great. 'Dark Gold' is one of my all time favourite. And because I am a genuine chocolate lover, I could hardly resist it everytime I got the chance to enjoy it. But due to health and budget concern, at times, I have to control myself from buying too much chocolate. I usually take those being offered by friends or relatives during festive season LoL. In such a way, I do not need to bother buying it or over-eating it. I think chocolate is containing very high calories inside, and I will get sick if I take too much at one time. Therefore, I will take a lot of water after taking the chocolate in order to prevent my body heat up by the energy.

Really? Then I should take more dark chocolate LoL. The best part is, it's also my favourite. I think you and I are quite similar in the way of fonding the chocolate where we know the disadvantage of having too much of it, and therefore will only wait for chance when other people will buy them for us.

Well, I must agree, we are mostly the same with regards to the kinds we like in chocolates and as far as buying or (not buying them) also. Thank goodness for people who are kind enough to give them to us! I really do not go so far as buying them as well.

Hi cheongyc! Welcome to the club. LOL Actually there are a lot of people who cannot resist the temptation of chocolates. I like dark chocolates and milk chocolates as well. Like you, I have also enjoyed the opportunities when friends and family have the good heart to give me chocolates and so I seldom buy ones for myself. I know that those good quality made chocolates are the more expensive ones and they are just so yummy. My husband knows what I like and he just brings home once in a while when he goes abroad or out of town. Yup, I also limit my intake for it is not good to eat all the time, once in a while is alright. But, I have found out that the dark kind of chocolate is healthy and can even be good to the heart, and so for those who are suffering from high blood pressure and heart ailments, they can benefit from eating dark chocolates.

Lots of people seem to love chocolate. I also like blackforest as flavor for chocolate. Hmmm, this is the first time I heard that eating chocolates increases one's beauty. I wonder how? Most probably for the dark chocolates because they contain antioxidant which fights off degeneration which includes aging.

Hi jeanniemay! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and appreciation for my topic, which most people do enjoy, eating chocolates! Yeah, chocolates with almonds are yummy, but you have to look for those that are in good quality, and if they are, they can really be addicting. Yup, it can make your day. If you've found what kind you love you sure will feel happy about it.

Oh, we are the same! I also have less preference for chocolates with anything caramel. I think its sweetness for me is too much. My favorite is dark chocolate. Primarily because it is healthier. Dark chocolates are found to have flavanoids, these are antioxidant, that can lower blood pressure, help to alleviate heart ailments. I also love dark chocolates because of it's taste and it is not too sweet for me.

i love them. i am addicted to them, and unfortunately i can't get myself to stop eating them. dark chocolate is actually healthy for you because it is rich in antioxidants, but of course i much prefer milk chocolate because of the much sweeter and richer taste

I adore chocolate. My mom says I'm a chocohic! I'd eat chocolate everyday if I could, but I don't because it would be bad for my health.

Chocolates can be very addicting but yes, we have to limit eating them somehow, because of health risks. Thanks for dropping by.

I know you posted this eight months ago but I was looking for a discussion of yours to comment on and this one caught my eye because I have only recently developed a real appreciation for chocolate.
My grandfather had a grocery store and growing up I could take my pick of any candy in the store. My friends thought I was nuts to choose fruit instead of chocolate. Both my parents were 'choclohotics' and even that didn't show up in my genes. David loves chocolate...and now I still am not drawn to it daily...but I really so enjoy a higher quality chocolate these days. I enjoy white chocolate as well and enjoy Lindor, Belgium, Swedish and Laura Secord chocolate. My view is that if I am going to treat myself...it is going to be good quality chocolate rather than having over the counter chocolate that is much higher in sugar and fat.
So...I am not addicted...and slowly savor every morsel. Hope you find a way to get your addiction under control...I wish the best of health to you and yours...and overdoing it may not be good for you my friend.
