I also prefer dark to milk chocolate.

In my youth, I could eat anything I wanted to eat and remain slender. I made the most of it, keeping up a steady diet of chocolates, mints, jawbreakers, taffeys, toffees, brickles, Necco Wafers, Lifesavers, Butterfingers, fudge, cordials, etc. It wasn’t until fairly recently that rising cholesterol & blood pressure, not to mention vanity, made me change my diet. I can’t have sweets without guilt anymore, but I figure I am luckier than most.

I have lovely memories of using Milky Way bars as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
