I don't eat chocolate, it's bad for doggies.

It's very bad , very very bad

It's very bad , very very bad

I'm a very bad doggy, want to stroke my fur, tickle my ears?

According to my dairy milk bar, the chocolate has 2190 KJ per 100g, and the GDA (guideline daily amount) is 8343 KJ. so that’s only 1 and a third 250g bars a day and you’re on your way to getting big boned (if not boned). I eat a good proportion of a 250g bar most days to supplement my diet of meat and I'm still not big boned.

Hmm, you classify "Dairy Milk" as chocolate?

When it comes to chocolate I seek quantity over quality.

Anything by Hotel Chocolat is divine.

You've just read my mind. My post was this:

Heaven on the High Street : Hotel Chocolat

This choccy dedicated choc shop is the best thing since Belgium and Swizerland were discovered.

There are a few shops scattered around the more affluent towns and cities: Canterbury, Bromley has one.

All posher single estate choc for the more discerning tongue, none of your mongrel over-sweet Galaxy or Cadbury candy (which apparently isn't real chocolate at all. But try telling a chocoholic that!)

Oh, you've just been taken in by clever marketing.

Paying for overpriced chocolate is okay to get your serotonin and dopamine fixes, and for a smoother taste, but the cheaper stuff fulfils the important criteria of being loaded with calories, quicker to prepare than a tin of beans and more palatable than a pack of lard. Though I am the same weight that I have always been, the rest of the UK population seems to be racing past me in the big boned stakes and I need calories in quantity to keep up!
