How I got my brains

Some may credit genetics, others, a deeply intellectual academic upbringing, still others may call it the luck of the draw. I now know that my intelligence comes from the caocao bean. That's right, chocolate has made me smart, and I now have the science to prove it! A recent study (funded by candy maker Mars) shows that an ingredient in coacoa can help boost blood flow to the brain for hours. Like another recent study that found a diet that included regular amounts of dark chocolate can help boost good cholesterol, thereby boosting heart health, it seems that science is finally proving the stuff that I've known for quite some time.

CHOCOLATE IS GOOD STUFF!!!

Because its important to have chocolate

If you are, like many in the northeast, snowed in on this Valentine's Day, then why don't you try your hand at some of the absoluely mouth-watering chocolate desserts here. Whether its a Raspberry and Chocolate Dessert Martini, an Upside-Down Black Forest Pie, or a Bittersweet Chocolate Lava Cake (my personal favorite), any of these are just as good (if not better) than being able to go out to eat at a fancy restaurant. Enjoy!
