Heads Up For Chocoholics


OK. I admit it. I am a hopeless chocoholic who rarely indulges the passion because of the sugar and fat and yes, darnit, the calories involved.  So when I read about a new way of making chocolate healthier over at Gizmodo, I just had to spread the word. 

If you are, like me, a total chocoholic who has been holding back, even in healthfood stores where they sell all that fair traded, dark chocolate that is supposed to be good for you, it's time to celebrate.  You are going to want to go over to Gizmodo and read  about the details there for yourself, but the gist is this:

According to a report in the  Journal of Material Chemistry,scientists in the UK have taken up to half the fat out of chocolate by infusing it with orange and cranberry juice.   The resulting chocolate bars are evidently delish if a bit fruity-- hey, I'll trade a slightly fruity taste for a bunch of calories any day. 

Where do I sign up?  Pass the chocolate bars please.
