Ideally, you should make sure that the dark chocolate you are eating has at least 70% cacao - meaning it contains a significant amount of flavanol antioxidants, fiber and iron. However, if you've ever tried 70% cacao, it can really taste bitter and/or flavorless. This is where flavored chocolates like this one REALLY help out. The orange flavoring in this offsets the bitter cacao, making it a really nice piece of chocolate. This is also pretty rich tasting for 70% percent cacao, and the quality of the chocolate is top notch. 170 calories for 5 big squares is relatively low calorie for chocolate, as I never seem to want more than 3…making it a nice dessert for right around 100 calories. I chose orange to review, however, Valor has a big selection of flavors: toffee, banana, pear and almond (I'm dying to try the banana and pear)!

This WEEK: Foods for a Chocolate Fix
 

A friend was kind enough to give me a bag of Ghirardelli peanut butter chocolates awhile back. As I went to put them away, I decided to eat “just one” so I could, you know, politely let the friend know how delicious they were. I’m sure we all know where this story is going. A whole huge bunch of chocolates (I have no idea how many, it’s all a big blur, really) and a terrible tummy ache later, I decided to arm myself with a list of the best options for a heathful chocolate fix...
