If you're anything like me, you can't live without chocolate. I love it so much that it's dangerous to have in the house because it's bound to disappear within the span of a day or two. So, when I get chocolate it's a treat, but one that I can't live without. Dark chocolate ranks highest with me, and any addition to it is always a good idea: peanut butter, mint, almonds, the list goes on. On my top-three favorite brands of chocolate is Dove.
Not only do I seem to portion-control those chocolates better than most, but it is also the packaging that keeps me coming back. Why packaging? Because each chocolate is individually wrapped in aluminum foil and each comes with a quote. Most are of the inspirational variety and sometimes that's all we need: uplifting, inspirational quotes, and chocolate.
1. "Everyone has a happy ending. If you're not happy, it's not the end."
