    Can we ever have enough facts and knowledge about everything there is to know about chocolate?  I want to know every little detail.  I dearly love chocolate!  I love the smell of it, I love the taste of it, I can't live without it!  I'm addicted to it!  We're like 2 beans in a cocoa pod. (or as some would say 2 peas in a pod.)  

    I've always wondered how many chocoholics there are in the world.  Way too many to count!  But I'm definitely at the top of the list!  I have consumed so much, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much actual chocolate I really have eaten in my life, it would sound unrealistic.  Just believe me, I have no reason to lie about chocolate, unless of course, I'm stashing it. Then I'm prone to lie...Sorry.  Not Sorry.  ðŸ˜€

    I'm surprised my husband hasn't called for a chocolate intervention. 🙂  God help me if they build a choco-meter!  I might be in trouble...Scroll on down and find all kinds of interesting facts, favorite chocolate finds and recipes!

      i think the only thing i knew before this post was that switzerland dominated the chocolate consumption polls! and had no idea that cookie dough in a jar was a thing in teh mid 2000s; i feel like it's coming back. at least in socal, since a ton of places are making "edible" (people, it was always edible, it's just egg-free now) cookie dough nowadays.
