We've all heard about the benefits of eating chocolate and how it can provide physical, psychological and emotional benefits.
That's all true, isn't it? And, if not please keep it quiet. Sometimes living in denial isn't such a bad thing.

Talk about timely, with Halloween being celebrated this weekend in various forms, it's even a better reason to enjoy chocolate. Since we may be a bit "over the age limit" for trick-or-treating (nevertheless young in heart and mind), we'll let the grandkids and others have fun. And, we'll celebrate privately with some of these favorites. Snack size portions have less calories — right?
Grenville read that you should eat 2 pieces of dark chocolate per day for health reasons. And, he feels that piece size is optional — the bigger the piece the healthier he feels.
Are you celebrating too & what's your favorite chocolate type?

Strangely I've got an aversion to dark chocolate, but absolutely love milk chocolate. I'll tend to go for bars, like Reese cups, Hershey's almond bars, and Kit Kats.
no chocolate allowed in our house, if i want to eat it, it is a one time thing when we are out. i have zero control over it. i had no idea all these days exist
I really like your photos of all those little candy bars. I had to go get an m and m cookie to eat.
Dark chocolate is a major food group. I so much prefer it to milk chocolate.
I am supposed to be off sugar in any form ... you sure don't make that easy !!!
Every day here is chocolate day with Papa , he is a chocoholic and loves his chocolate bars pretty much the same as what you showed in the photo lol as for me I like one once in a while as a treat . Thanks for sharing now if I can just stop Papa from eating your photo here lol !!! Have a good day !
I'm with Grenville. Dark chocolate is what is really good for you. Mind you, I only go to 70% before it gets too bitter for me. As for the size of the pieces ...
Scarecrows at Halloween are a must. You have some great examples.
I don't need a reason to celebrate chocolate, but it's nice to know there are lots of them out there if I do need an excuse. :)
