Welcome! (And why the strange title?)

One should blog about what they know. They should blog about what they enjoy. Most of all they should blog about what they love...and oh my god I love chocolate! Well, that should explain the weird title of my blog, right? Chocolate is the one food that can cure all - it makes you feel good, it makes you feel happy and almost everyone loves it. Did you know that the average American eats 10-12 pounds per year? I, on the other hand, make up for those who aren't eating their share!

Some other interesting chocolate facts: Chocolate is not high in caffeine. A 1oz bar of milk chocolate contains only 5-6mg of caffeine. This is significantly less than in coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Chocolate does not cause acne and several medical studies show that eating chocolate in moderation can actually prolong your life by reducing risk of blood clots and fighting bad cholesterol. (Of course, I probably eat a little more than what they consider "in moderation".........) but I can't help it because OMG! I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

I want to share some of the best recipes that I try. For years I baked the same things again and again. Sometimes that can be okay; you know, tried and true, but I really want to expand my knowledge and try some new things. I'm not talking about being this spectacular baker, just hopefully finding some very delicious chocolate recipes. If you love chocolate, I hope you will find some yummy stuff here! Let's begin the chocolate adventure.
