The thing about chocolate...

Chocolate has to be the most random piece of edible rainbow goodness that has ever been invented. I mean, I am really sorry if you can't eat chocolate...but I believe it is like eating a burst of rainbow yummy goodness that explodes into your mouth! I mean...have you tried Ritter Sport Extra Fine Milk Chocolate? I mean...it is heaven in a square! So I decided to give some random facts about chocolate!!! <3 Enjoy!


Chocolate is actually started from a tree! Yes chocolate technically grows on a tree! It comes from the cacao tree in Africa and Central/South America. The tree grows pods that hold bitter seeds and white sticky fluid that can be made into food and drinks. After the pods are harvested they go through long, complicated process (I won't explain all of them for it would take all night) that results in the beautiful brown substance we call chocolate. 


Chocolate doesn't get it's name from the Cacao tree, it comes from Mexico! When you make chocolate you have to stir it and (apparently) it makes a sound that makes a "choco choco" sound, hint the name chocolate!


Chocolate does not make you have acne. You cannot get physically addicted to chocolate, so all you choco-holics out there have no excuses!!!!
Did you know that the hershey's bar was made by the military?! Yep!! Napoleon used to carry chocolate to energize himself! That led to the Hershey bar!
Chocolate is therapeutic! Chocolate has preservatives that can make you look younger!
Chocolate triggers a hormone in your brain called phenylephylamine aka the happy hormone. This is also the hormone that can make you fall in love <3
Chocolate may actually help you reduce heart disease!

EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD CHOCOLATE BAR!!
