Chocolate is heavenly, not just as a sweet treat, but also as an ingredient that adds flavor and richness to a variety of cuisines. It also contains a wide assortment of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, sodium, iron, fluorine and vitamins A, B1, C, D, and E. Be choosy about your chocolate, being careful about how the amount of calories, sugar, and fat. When kept it moderation, it's a great option on its own, or match it up with fruits, spices and nuts. For all you chocolate lovers, I’ve gathered SparkRecipes best healthy chocolate-paired recipes.

    Anything with chocolate is in serious trouble around me lol. But I do like my dark chocolate the best.

    Think I might make the chocolate/orange fudge for my husband since he likes orange. - 7/22/2012   8:30:40 AM

    I seem to have lost much of my sweet tooth- I think I tend to gravitate towards savoury /salty snacks. I generally might have an occasional chocolate bar and or granola bar.

    I find it nearly impossible to completely avoid sweeties. I thank you for adding some good "in moderation" choices. - 7/18/2012   7:52:58 PM
