How much chocolate is enough chocolate?

I'm not sure I am qualified to answer this question since I am currently drinking minichocolate chips out of a shot glass.

For me the answer is... one piece.

I don't get chocolate cravings that often, but when I do I'm usually happy with one piece. Maybe a Lindt Truffle, a Dove bite size, a small cup of hot cocoa, or a fancy chocolate cookie.

More than that though and I can't keep eating it. I'm lucky like that. ^^

There is no limit

I only want to eat chocolate when I *see* chocolate. So if I don't see it, I don't crave it.

Of course, life being what it is, mum buys tonnes of chocolate so I see it every time I open the fridge, and of course the supermarkets have chocolate at every checkout...

Normally I can stop myself from eating any. Sometimes I have a little bit... Especially when I have a headache.

So for me, "Enough chocolate" is how much I ate growing up, and any more *now* is too much.

Thanks. Now I want chocolate.

There is never enough.

... "the average American consumes 12 lbs of chocolate per year," according to the stats.
So anything more than that, I suppose.

... no need for that.
Just relocate to Europe.
Folk there average 24 lbs of chocolate per year ;-)

(Or is it dessert? Can never recall which is which. (2 S's or one?) A plate of sand wouldn't be nearly as appetizing, I fear.)

**drowns in a tsunami of saliva**

WriterTrek why must you hurt me this way

I fancy chocolate but I'm not so sure I fancy the fact I have to pay 100 bucks for a box of Lactaid

I can generally take or leave chocolate, but lately I have found that a dark chocolate + sea salt combination suit my fancy quite nicely.

I generally want chocolate about three times a year and I'm satisfied with a half an Almond Joy for months on end. But, then again, I also don't crave cake or most sweets. I'm weird that way.

I just figure it this way--the less for me, the more for those who want it.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE I CAN'T EVEN

**deep breaths**

Hi, my name is JJ and I am a chocoholic. Last year, a doctor told me to steer clear of caffeine for "about a year". I managed to wean myself off tea--but chocolate? I...I haven't quite managed that, although I've mostly been good. Better, anyway. I'm counting down to the end of April when I can officially eat it again, guilt-free.

"Ebony" chocolate, 70% cocoa mass, with chili. Can't freakin' wait.

Even in Europe, I'd want to be above average.

And it's 2 s's because you always want seconds of dessert.

I'm good with a little bit of GOOD chocolate, has to be dark at least, extra dark or bittersweet is better, 70% cacao or more, and if there's sea salt, orange, raspberry, coffee or any combination of those, or chilies even better.

Milk chocolate or that abomination known as "white chocolate" . . . just . . . NO.

There is never enough chocolate.

I've never gotten the chocolate thing. I mean, it tastes good, but no better than a lot of other desserts. I go days and days without eating it. Now, white wine ........

I used to love white chocolate... *hides*

Then again, I'm the sort of person who used to drink normal milk with nothing added to it. Like, as a kid, if I was given the option between plain milk and chocolate/strawberry/whatever milk, I'd go with plain nearly every time. *shrug*

*still drinks plain milk even though she's not a kid anymore*

I went through a phase recently where I'd drink plain milk a lot. Then I lost the taste for it. *shrug*
