Dark Chocolate Exploding In Popularity…Look Out!
With all of the news about the health benefits of dark chocolate, every candy company is producing dark chocolate counterparts to their traditional milk chocolate offerings. There are dark chocolate Hershey’s Kisses, Nestle Black Magic, dark chocolate Kit Kat, Twix dark chocolate…need we say more? Or take M&Ms for example, who are promoting their dark chocolate M&Ms. We have become conditioned to believe that just because something contains “dark chocolate” it must have nutritional value. While most of the mainstream candymakers don’t make health claims, they are riding the coattails of the surge in dark chocolate’s popularity and research on the health benefits of raw, organic chocolate. Sadly these candies are packed with sugar, calories and fat and likely don’t offer any nutritional value whatsoever. Don’t get me wrong, I’d gladly enjoy a bag of dark chocolate M&Ms any day, but not for its health benefits. If you want to get the maximum health benefits from chocolate, try raw, organic chocolate. Or, unsweetened bittersweet that has been minimally processed.
