And the Best Chocolate is….

Reeses-PB-Cups-Trio…white, milk, or dark? Which would you say?

Personally, my favourite chocolate is Whittaker’s Dark Ghana. 72% cocoa solids; made with Fairtrade cocoa and sugar; dairy-free, so it can be used in baking the World’s Best Peanut-Butter and Chocolate Cookies; and so chocolatey you don’t need to eat a lot to get the effects (so the block lasts longer). I keep some in the fridge, labelled “Medicinal Chocolate: for stress, etc. Dosage: 2sq (repeat as necessary)”.

What do you call that room – and have you ever wanted to call it something else?
