The Deliciousness of Milk Chocolate
Milk chocolate is really fantastic. It is absolutely delicious, nutritious in a few ways, and is versatile because it can be used in so many different recipes.
Chocolate is comprised of a number of raw and processed foods that are produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree. Pure, unsweetened chocolate contains primarily of cocoa solids and cocoa butter, in varying proportions.
Health Benefits?
Most people are confused when they hear the term health benefits alongside the word chocolate. There are actually a few different health benefits offered by chocolate, more than anything dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants for one, which work to improve your health by fighting off free radicals in your body.
Milk chocolate is not as full of these antioxidants, however it has been scientifically shown to improve people’s moods - so if you are ever down and out you may just want to try chomping on a few pieces of chocolate!
Forms
There is the milk chocolate bar, milk chocolate fondue, chocolate covered strawberries, cake, muffins, cookies, and the list goes on and on. There are also always new and exciting recipes coming out that you can incorporate chocolate into. Just make sure that you do not overdo it with milk chocolate, because sure it may be finger licking good but it is also full of sugar and calories so there is a lot of bad stuff in it as well.
Where to Buy
Unless you have lived under a rock for the past couple decades, surely you are aware of where you can go to get your chocolate, and it really all depends on the form you are looking to get it in. If you are looking for baking chocolate for instance which typically comes in squares, you will want to head to the supermarket.
On the other hand if you are looking for a hunk of chocolate to nosh on, the corner store will have a wide selection of different candy bars and chocolate candy that you can choose from. Don’t try them all at once, again because of the poor nutrition that they offer, but do try a different one here and there to see what you like. Check the ingredients label before trying to make sure that there are no ingredients you do not like or cannot eat, such as milk or coconut.

Milk chocolate is indeed delicious. I’m really not very fond of white chocolate, but I will eat it if I can’t get my hands on any of the ‘good stuff.’
To try to cut back on my chocolate intake, I buy the extra dark chocolate with a very high percentage of cocoa. It’s not very sweet, so it’s not as ‘moreish’ as the milk chocolate.
My absolute favorite chocolate is somewhere in the middle between milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The richness of the dark chocolate but that little bit of extra sugar makes it simply divine.
Some people may think I’m a bit of a philistine, but I can be completely happy with a bowl of Hershey’s chocolate kisses to consume. Mmmm.
