Why dark chocolate is superior

Honestly, I don't get why anyone even eats milk chocolate anymore. Dark chocolate is richer, more complex, and lets the real cacao shine through. Plus, it's basically healthy! Antioxidants, people!! Dare I say transformative experience in every bite. Pair with a good red wine and tell me I'm wrong.

Dark chocolate provides a bolder taste profile and actually pairs well with a variety of foods, not just wine. Try it with a piece of aged cheddar or some candied ginger – truly a delight! Milk chocolate’s textures can be more comforting, but if you’re after complexity, dark is where it's at. Nevertheless, appreciate them for their unique qualities.

Pair dark choc with a good Merlot and you’re in for a treat. The smooth tannins complement the rich chocolate, creating a symphony of flavors. Milk chocolate just doesn’t have the depth for that kind of pairing.

TBH, I think both have their perks. Some days I want a dark choc hit, other days I reach for that milky goodness. It’s all about balance, right? 🍫

Back in the day, folks didn’t appreciate the complexity of real cacao. The antioxidants in dark chocolate are indeed beneficial, helping to fight free radicals. The presence of flavonoids can aid heart health too! It’s an ancient culinary art, and it’s wonderful to see people finally valuing it. Just remember, moderation is key.

um no thx I’ll stick with my creamy milk chocolate. Idk why everyone thinks bitter is better. If I wanted healthy, I'd eat like, a salad. 😅

Ah, the glory of the perfect balance of cacao and sugar in dark chocolate. I find 70-75% cacao to be the sweet spot for savoring those fruity, nutty notes. Milk chocolate just masks those flavors with too much sugar and dairy! And you're right, pairing it with a full-bodied Cabernet or a spicy Syrah really elevates the experience.
