Eat...Pray...Chocolove....

This is just a little something I will share...because I love you...

AND...

I LOVE CHOCOLATE...

Chocolove XOXOX

A little company here in Boulder, CO that uses fine Belgian chocolate & natural ingredients. Their site lists Whole Foods Market, Target, Wild Oats, & CostPlus World Market as merchants who carry their chocolate. In addition, I found mine at Vitamin Cottage. I keep mine in the fridge & break off a little square after dinner. Take tiny bites & let it melt in your mouth. Delight in the guilty pleasure of this marvelous morsel of rich, creamy, chocolate...mmmm (she says with her eyes closed)!!

Why is there a strong association between chocolate & love? Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a naturally occuring compound in chocolate. When consumed, it releases endorphins in the brain & produces a mild feeling of euphoria, similar to the sensation of being in love. Other compounds that naturally occur in chocolate include seratonin, theobromine, & anandamine which elevate mood, increase circulation, & enhance sensory perception. (Chocolove FAQ)

Because a girl (& a boy) needs chocolate from time to time!

Happy Savoring,
