First, be certain your chocolate is of good quality, just like anything else the quality will affect the taste and your enjoyment of it. Recent changes in the production of dark chocolate have created a creamier consistency while maintaining all the healthy benefits. Take the time to enjoy your fine piece of dark chocolate. It's best to let the chocolate bar come to room temperature. There is nothing less appetizing than a brittle and cold piece of chocolate. You can even rub it between your fingers to warm it up.
