Do you love a chocolate? U guess there are not too many people in the world who do not. Other things are just food, but chocolate’s chocolate. Forget love – I’d rather fall in chocolate!!!:-) Well, very soon St. Nicholas will come with wonderful presents to every one I hope:-). For instance in the Europe, the feast of St. Nicholas or Santa Claus is celebrated on December 6th and all children put their clogs outside at night so Santa can fill them up with chocolate money.

Do you know that the world’s largest box of chocolates weighed in at 2,002 lbs. It was made in Chicago, USA, and contained Frango mints but the first cacao trees were found growing in the Amazon river basin and the foothills of the Venezuelan and Colombian Andes. Joseph Fry of Bristol, England, made the first eating chocolate in 1848.

In 1991, a model ship was made out of chocolate in Barcelona, Spain. It measured 42.5 feet x 28 feet x 8 feet.

The largest chocolate ever made was a chocolate marzipan. It was made in the Netherlands over a 3-day period and weighed 4,078 lbs!
One chocolate chip provides enough food energy for an adult to walk 150 feet. Therefore, it takes about 35 chocolate chips to walk a mile or 875,000 to get you around the world.

It takes the whole of one year’s crop from one tree to make half a kilo of cocoa.

66,000 Crème Eggs are made every hour.

For all those of you out there dreaming about those chocolate bars, dream away! You can’t blame chocolate for raising your blood cholesterol. Now that’s a fact so eat!
Chocolate has changed the way we eat, romance and live. But don’t go overboard as too much of a good thing can be bad!

The truth is there’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE!

I don’t understand why so many “so called” chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, ’nuff said:-)
