If you think bittersweet chocolate is too intense, just remember that so is life and yet we still keep going. 🍫

🍫

Bittersweet chocolate, also known as dark chocolate, is made with a high percentage of cocoa solids and a lower amount of sugar. This results in a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
The most popular variants of bittersweet chocolate include 70%, 72% and 85% cacao, with the percentage indicating the amount of cocoa solids present in the chocolate.
The higher the percentage, the more intense the flavor!

🍫

This is a perfect excuse for a bittersweet chocolate party.

So, let’s raise a chocolate bar and enjoy the sweet and rich flavor that only bittersweet chocolate can provide.

Happy Bittersweet Chocolate Day!

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into pieces with your bare hands…

…and then eat only one of those pieces.

🐾⚠️ Cocoa is Toxic to Most Animals -> Keep it Out of Reach! ⚠️🐾

Humans have a special ability that most animals don’t have. We can digest chocolate without harmful effects!
Cocoa contains a compound called theobromine, which can be downright toxic to most animals.
It can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures and even death in some cases.
Theobromine also has the deceptive ability to linger in the body which makes small doses still dangerous in the long term.

So, plz keep your chocolates out of reach and call your vet right away if you suspect they’ve ingested anything with cocoa.
