Dark chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids than other types of chocolate. In other words, it has more of the chocolate element in relation to the sugar and cocoa butter. In 2007, news of the health benefits of Dark Chocolate has been rising exponentially. It is recommended by many studies that you eat an ounce of Dark Chocolate per day. Most of the products we have here in our Dark Chocolate section are indlugent gifts - not the type of product that you would store next to your vitamins. But rest assured, the dark chocolate contained in these tasty treats is GOOD FOR YOU!

The Cocoa Tree
Ahhh.... tis under the shade of the wonderful Cocoa Tree that so many of us (figuratively) rest our work weary heads, all the while dreaming of what sweet goodness it will soon produce.
If the above scenario actually came to pass, we would find ourselves in a hot, rainy environment on a small farm, probably near the equator. And many, many steps must come between a cocoa tree sapling and www.Chocolate.com's intense dark chocolate!
So let's just take the easy way, shall we? Drive yourself over to this Dark Chocolate category and you won't have to imagine. Let your fingers do the walking through such delights as the Dark Chocolate Classic Truffle. These addictive little monsters have a base of 70% Valhrona Grand Cru, and the last step is to roll them in cocoa powder. Um, the Cocoa Tree never looked better.
Consider these little beauties: our Peanut Butter Bonbons. These consist of creamy organic peanut butter and mini dark chocolate chips, and you can see that delicious dark chocolate shell.
Finally, if you're in the mood for the everything but the kitchen sink covered in dark chocolate, then the Dark Chocolate One Pound Family Assortment is waiting for you. Butter caramels, cherry cordials, soft center creams, meltaways, crisp covered nuts, pecan tootles and more are found here, and are covered in the finest pure dark chocolate.
Yes, that Cocoa Tree is pretty wonderful. And how awesome it is that so many are so adept at Growing the Cocoa Bean. Even Martha would say, "It's a good thing".
