Dark chocolate is possibly even a health food.

Check out this article:

https://bebrainfit.com/brain-benefits-dark-chocolate/

I have started eating it daily to help combat feelings of sadness or loneliness. Milk chocolate is nowhere near as good for your brain because it has more sugar and the dairy in milk chocolate interferes with flavanoid absorption.

I love dark chocolate. I started eating it in lieu of milk chocolate since I was about 19. I eat it because of the health benefits that come with it. It is a little more bitter than milk chocolate, but I got used to the taste with time.

I eat dark chocolate quite often. I certainly have it far more often than milk chocolate.

It reached the point where, in humour, I refer to milk chocolate as "Street Chocolate" and dark chocolate as "Class A" chocolate.

Yuck! I hate dark chocolate. I don't consider it real chocolate. That has to be Milk Chocolate. Because I love Milk Chocolate.

One or two pieces of dark chocolate a day - I reckon it's the healthiest way to address sugar cravings.

I do, it's a way to satisfy my chocolate craving, plus there are health benefits. I've gotten to the point where milk chocolate is often too sweet for me.

Dark chocolate has been my preference for a while, even though I used to dislike it. I like Dove dark a lot. I like its flavor and texture.

I've always preferred dark, maybe I'm just weird.

I did overdose on it once, though...for a while after that, any time I had more than a little bit, I'd start to feel sick.

I like that it's self-limiting - it's so rich that just a small quantity is enough

Eugh. I absolutely hate dark chocolate. I don't like the bitterness! I have a huge sweet tooth; and only milk chocolate cuts it for me!

My teenage kids hate dark, too, so maybe it's a taste that develops with age.
(And Ezra must be particularly advanced in his tastes!)

I never liked those mini hershey's special dark. But 2 or 3 years ago I tried a dove dark single and really liked the richness of it. I tried some fancy chocolate that was like 70% dark a while back but I didn't like it. Maybe the dove dark is sweeter than most others.

Not a lot, but I do like it. I've never particularly liked milk chocolate...but dark chocolate that has a really good flavor. What I would really like though is a dark red wine infused with dark chocolate. I've had a chocolate wine before but it was red wine with milk chocolate....if I ever found wine with dark chocolate I'd buy that instantly.

I don't consume dark chocolate a whole lot - especially lately with my efforts of reducing my sugar consumption to a reasonable level - but I do like it.
