Chocolate is calling me....

I make a point of eating chocolate every day of my life. Isn't it one of the basic food groups? I don't think you can develop properly and be healthy if you don't get enough fruits, vegetables, grains, and chocolate.

I'm making chocolate chip cookies today

Chocolate is a food group and when you mix it with fruit it is a whole food!
