Almost everyone in the world likes chocolate, in fact over 80% of people love chocolate. A good quality chocolate must contain cocoa butter and not vegetable oil.

But did you know that chocolate is not just consumed as a confectionery but is also used in cooking. For example, Mexicans use chocolate in making the traditional cuisine known as mole. Mole is a thick, dense sauce. Rich, savory-sweet Mole Negro contains dried chilies, spices, and gets its dark brown, almost black color from a Mexican herb, and lots of dark unsweetened chocolate. It might sound strange or bizarre to those who have always had chocolate as dessert, but for others it is their part of their diet.

As for me, I love to eat chocolates in the sweet form and just to let myself feel less guilty I will mention some of the benefits of dark chocolate:
Potentially lowers blood pressure, decreases bad cholesterol levels, lowers risk of blood clots among other benefits.
