I love chocolate. When I was a child, my aunt used to send me chocolates from Germany. They were so good and exotic tasting.

The cacao tree was discovered in the Americas about 2,000 years ago. The seeds are what is actually processed into chocolate. The first known use of chocolate was as a frothy drink. Pretty smart huh? I love hot chocolate and cold chocolate drinks.

With the internet, there is a world of possibility. There are so many varities of chocolate, that it's hard to decide what you want.

I order chocolate from 2 different websites.

The first place I order from is a place called Dan's Chocolates There chocolate is delicious. They are actually a Best of Americas Food Finalist. If you are sending a box of chocolates as a gift, you can upload a picture and have a custom box made. Plus they offer free ground shipping if you purchase a pound of chocolate. When you bite into their chocolates, it's like a little taste of heaven.

The second place I order chocolates from is zChocolat.com This place is more of an upscale chocolate retailer. Each piece of chocolate is handmade in France. It literally melts in your mouth. It's best to shop here when you are in a major chocolate crisis.

Supposedly, research has discovered that eating chocolate really does make you feel better. It's supposed to have something in it that elevates your mood. Me personally, I just love the taste of it.
