Chocolate= A Woman's Best Friend

I love chocolate and sometimes I crave it so badly. I try not to eat too much of it but when I do it is like heaven! I love milk chocolate, dark chocolate but white chocolate is my favorite. I am not a fan of nuts so the least fancy the chocolate the better for me.

Yesterday I woke up with a huge craving for chocolate. I ate a Nutella (Italian hazelnut chocolate spread) sandwich, I had chocolate milk and dark chocolate covered blueberries-I know I was not lying when I said I wanted chocolate. So I did what I always do...I looked up the benefits of chocolate.
