Is there such a thing as too much chocolate?
There is more chocolate in my house than would feed a small country. That’s because I had a chocolate party for Easter after giving up chocolate for lent. For those of my friends who missed it, fear not, there will be others. Although probably not during the heat of summer and definitely not until I figure out how much chocolate each person can reasonably eat, so that I won’t end up with heaps of chocolate days after the event.
So as I prepared all kinds of chocolate treats on Saturday, I realized that it’s in fact possible to overdose on chocolate without even eating any (this was pre-Easter vigil, after which the earlier “no chocolate involved” overdose had worn off and I had a huge piece of Sachertorte and a spoonful of Nutella). Delicious!
Chocolate, the ne plus ultra of sweet tooths, sweet hearts, and sweet cholestorolized arteries.
