JamieG | Chocolate - White, Milk, DARK? | 26-05-2016 @ 14:40 | |

Who enjoys it?Now if I were to buy 100g of their milk chocolate it would have been devoured before I had even left the shop. Two pieces into the dark though and I'm not sure. I want to enjoy it so I can become a patronising chocolate elitist. Is it like tasting Whiskey? Should it be sniffed and then allowed to melt on my tongue so I can embrace the flavours? I'm used to sugarless bitter coffee so hopefully a dark chocolate PB will come. | ||

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq | dosent dark chocolate have beneficial enzyme releasing capabilities if consumed before lifting? This is my justification. | ||

All I know is 3/4 of the bar is still sitting next to me! Compare that to milk chocolate where I haven't been able to leave any of a 150g bar remaining for years. I guess for that reason it's healthier at least. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | Your taste buds will acclimatise - then Milk Chocolate will taste like over-sugared s**t. For a while anyway, then it will taste fine again... | ||

Member 4865, 240 posts | Chocolate=gainz Seriously though unless your diet can allow you the occasional treat, it is very calorie-dense. It does apparently have some health benefits http://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/healthy-eating/choco... | ||

My chocolate eating in general has been rock bottom this Christmas. Had a full box of roses next to me for 2 weeks and only had two. (Did eat a galaxy selection box though just to save me having to carry it home after the holidays - kept it to pre exercise energy). I was gifted some Lindt Chilli Dark chocolate and it was actually really nice, I would continue to buy it over the normal stuff! | ||
