It is Silky, soothing, scrumptious and even sexy, yes it is all about chocolate. I am fond of chocolate particularly Dark. The bitter taste lingers in my tongue for hours. That is the way I remember or even enjoy my food.
In chocolate, the darker is better for the health. If you are the one like me, go for the higher content of coaco> 70%, they are good in antioxidant. Dark chocolate derived by the plant called Theobroma cacao is rich in flavonoid. Research shows that Flavonoid is the key sources to improve the function of blood vessel.
That doesn’t mean, you have to open a dark chocolate bar and gobble right away! After all, chocolate is calorie and try to be moderate. When you are for chocolate craving, go for one small cluster and stay fit!
The clusters are a concoction of dark chocolate, dried cranberries and pecans. You have the bitter taste combined with fruits and crunchy pecans. A small cluster is filled with antioxidant (from choc & Cranberrie), good fat (from pecans), and fiber. Dark chocolate, fruit & nut clusters.

Good thing is it looks so delicious but really fast and easy to make them.
I personally like dark a lot, but some people don't seem to like it because it has a slightly bitter taste to it. But it is healthy, and I am not complaining!
