Since I can rarely afford the better chocolates, I prefer Dove, as well.
It's inexpensive, yet smoooooooooooth. I buy a bar of the dark chocolate
maybe once or twice a year. I never buy the bags of individually wrapped
pieces anymore, though. I went nuts and scarfed down a whole bag once.
Thought I was gonna die. That stuff is *not* for people with high blood
pressure and/or who aren't accustomed to a lot of caffeine.

Carol, I've found that some dark chocolate in bars do NOT agree with me. I
get really hyper. It is hard for me to control the amount I eat also; that
is probably the main reason they do not agree with me, both stomach wise,
and hyper-wise.

I thought my head was going to explode. If I hadn't been so sick, I'd have
gone to the ER. That's not a joke, either.

Oh Carol, did I ever post here about my chocolate fondue
experience? The upshot is that I was soooo sick--like being
drunk and then very hung over the next day (and no booze
involved). Serious OD. Now my daughter will eat this on New
Year's Eve, and I have something else. It was SO unpleasant.

I don't recall, Jean. I think my chocolate OD affected my memory.
Seriously, I don't recall. But I know I would never want to go through
that again - ever.

Yeah, maybe related. I also have NO desire to ever do that
again. I forget what I had while my daughter enjoyed the
chocolate fondue. Luckily, there are a lot of other things
one can enjoy that don't have the same effect.
