    Valentine’s day is not for a while now, but my fiance’s birthday is just a few days before valentine’s day, so I look forward to cooking for him every year. I will definitely give these recipes a try – he loves sweets and chocolate, so all of these recipes will be right up his alley. Thanks so mcuh!

    Chocolate is a fantastic food in small quantities! It is scientifically proven to make us feel good because it releases endorphins in our brain which cause us to feel happy or content. Don’t overdo it though – the best form of cocoa is in raw dark chocolate because the cocoa content is higher and more intense. A small square or two of really dark chocolate can also help clear a severe headache or migraine. A real SUPERFOOD!

    Did you know that in Ancient times, the Mayan civilisation used raw cocoa (the raw form of chocolate) in various religious ceremonies, and raw cocoa beans are said to contain strong aphrodisiac properties. I wonder if this has any connection with why chocolate is such a popular gift on Valentine’s Day? Anyone know?
