Food Review: Intentional Dark Chocolate Pistoles
About a month ago we received a package from Intentional Chocolate.

For Dark Chocolate, Rising Costs Mean Waning Sales
Is dark chocolate's heyday over? For the candy industry, the numbers have been bittersweet: dark chocolate has experienced a huge surge in sales over the last couple of years, but research indicates that its popularity may have already peaked.

When I suggested that chocolate-flavored calcium supplements make a good substitute for dessert, many of you weren't so into the high-fructose corn syrup that comes with most calcium chews.

These dark-chocolate supplements are free of corn syrup, as well as gluten, artificial sweeteners, and other weird stuff.

Food Court Survival: Part III
The mall is almost unavoidable during the holidays and something about all that running around and waiting in lines that makes me hungry. What's worse? Not only am I hungry but I also know there is a place where food is so easily accessible.
