The earliest record of chocolate was over fifteen hundred years atrás in the Central American rain forests, where the tropical mix of high rain fall combined with high ano round temperatures and humidity provide the ideal climate for cultivation of the plant from which chocolate is derived, the Cacao Tree.

The Cacao árvore was worshipped por the Mayan civilisation of Central America and Southern Mexico, who believed it to be of divine origin, Cacao is actually a Mayan word meaning "God Food" hence the tree's modern generic Latin name 'Theobrama Cacao' meaning ‘Food of the Gods’. Cacao was corrupted...

I walked down the bakery store, just coming back from work. I sniffed the fresh air of the bread, which tasted delicious. My boyfriend, Antoine was strolling along with me, talking the night away. I paid absolutely no attention to him, just dreaming about chocolates and their flavory tastes. Creamy vanilla, white, caramelo fillings.....delicious! Antoine gently tapped me on the shoulder, unaware if I was listening. He smirked at me when I lied and said yes, which caused him to continue. I sighed, I wonder if all he thought about was his job. Tax papers, faxes, emails, he never had time for us....

"What? Oh, Rach. How did you become a chocoholic?"
"Well, here's how it happened:
5 years ago, my dad started abusing me. My mum tried to stop him, but she couldn't do anything. Yet she kept trying. It led to fighting, which led to the divorce.

 coração Shaped banana chocolate Mud Cake
Heart Shaped Banana Chocolate Mud Cake
Recently a friend asked me to make a cake for his 5th anniversary to his partner.

There was no way I was going to say no, so I asked him what type of cake would they both like.

He told me they wanted a certain kind of chocolate mud cake.

So I did my research to find a recipe to use as a guide and quickly discovered that no-one had ever made this recipe according to my google search.

I knew immediately that I had to make it and be the first to have it on the internet.

Here it is for you to try - link

He would describe in lurid detail how the flakes of chocolate covering the small irregular lumps of his treats would slowly dissolve onto his taste buds sending sickly sweet shivers down his spine … the chocolate casaco enrobing the creamy truffle filling would finally explode upon his tongue and ooze a sickly, sugary viscous mixture of liquid cream, cacau and butter. His choices were lavish: white chocolate with thick buttery filling and chipped flakes, double cream and Jamaican rum encased in a dark chocolate dressing, satin smooth champagne leite chocolate dusted in lavish layers of powdered...

Eating Chocolate

Chocolate,
The sought-after reprieve
From everyday monotony.
{Can I have some?}

The sight,
That first glimpse
Of the beautifully dark surface.
{It’s amazing.}

The touch,
The mind numbing smoothness
Like waves washing over a hard rock.
{It’s unbelievable.}

The sound,
The hard deep “SNAP!” of it breaking
So you know it can be shared.
{But you won’t.}

The smell,
That underlying amargo, amarga scent
And the heavy, masking, sweetness.
{Just take a bite.}

The anticipation,
The chocolate is near
You think, should I? Dare I?
{Please do, yes, eat it.}

The taste,
That milky, rich, sweet flavor
A tang of thick bitterness,
And then in a gooey gulp, it’s gone.
{Oh, it’s so good.}

The After-taste,
The sense subsides
You peixe around with your tongue.
{It’s gone already?}

The return,
The chocolate break is over
You go back to work.
{It wasn’t even that good.}

Ha ha ha.

Did you know?


A recent study indicates that when men crave food, they tend to crave fat and salt. When women crave food, they tend to desire chocolate.

Aztec Emperor Montezuma drank 50 golden goblets of hot chocolate, dyed red and flavored with chili peppers, every day.

Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 segundo chuveiro scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.

The average American consumes mais than 10 pounds of chocolate...

First, dont wash yourself for 2 weeks... yeah you'll smell but that turns guys on!
Then, when you're ready to look amazing, put a thick layer of foundation on (it has to be 5 shades darker than your normal skintone) making sure to leave an obvious line down the side of your face.. dont put any on your neck, only the face!
Purple eyeshadow is the way to go! Apply a thick layer from your lashes till you're only 1mm away from your eyebrow!
Apply black eyeliner on both your waterline and directly underneath your eye. It gives a real ghetto, I'm a teen kinda look!
Lipstick... If youre blonde, go for...

Rachel ran. She ran from her house. Past the sweet shop. Past the police station and hospital. She ran all the way down to the lake, tears trickling her face.
When she got down to the lake, she went straight to her secret place. She got there and sat down, letting the tears flow freely. How can I tell her, she thought. Tell Lindy that I'm addicted to chocolate? How?

Lindy had silently followed Rachel all the way. She lost Rachel at the park, but she knew exactly where her bestie was. So she went to Rachel's secret place. As she expected, Rachel was sitting there. Lindy came and sat down beside...
