Chocolate


I will never be able to comprehend why anyone would not like chocolate. I mean, even if you are allergic to chocolate I think it would still be very difficult to say it tastes bad.

Unless the only chocolate you ever had was the cheap wannabe chocolate from the dollar store that are wrapped in gold foil pretending to be oversized coins.




But really, I don’t know if it’s the fact that I know I have a lot of Easter chocolate waiting for me at home or because I’m really hungry in general, but I am craving me some chocolate SO BAD. This is one of countless reasons why I wish the wizarding world of Harry Potter was real…but I’ll save that for another post.

Chocolate is delicious for countless reasons:


1) It can come in many different forms such as:
Bars,
Bite-sized balls,
Eggs,
Your favourite cartoon character,
Bunnies,
Sundae sauce,
Icing
…the list goes on!
2) Not only do they come in many fun-to-eat shapes, they can also be combined with other flavours to make them extra mouth-watering.

For example, don’t you just love choosing a chocolate at random from the assorted box, without looking at the “chocolate legend” and surprising your taste buds?

I know I do.


3) Chocolate can be used in so many different foods which automatically makes them BETTER!

Strawberries are good, sure. But dipped in chocolate they are BETTER.

Vanilla cake is fine and dandy…but chocolate cake is BETTER.

Cookies can start out kind of boring…but then you add chocolate chips and they are automatically BETTER.



I remember as a kid, I would go downstairs for dinner and my mom had put out a glass of milk for me as per usual.

But then I see a spoon and I know that it’s a special day and that there is chocolate syrup sitting on the bottom of my glass waiting to transform the milk into something BETTER.

I could continue but I’m sure you get the point.






Also, people seem to like chocolate SO much that they will try covering anything in chocolate to see what it’s like. You may think mixing sweet and salty is strange like chocolate covered pretzels, but I assure you there are weirder things out there. For example….wait for it…

CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON.

Yup, that exists. I think that might be pushing it.

4) IT’S JUST GOOD. HOW CAN SOMEONE DISLIKE CHOCOLATE? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!

You’re probably thinking, “well do you even know anyone who dislikes chocolate?” The answer is YES. Such people do exist.
