Hershey's Kisses - Special Dark

Chocolate.  It's hard to find someone who isn't a fan of the decadent flavor.  That being said--those who love chocolate most likely have to refrain from over indulgence of chocolate candy, cake and ice cream.  Behold my favorite way to get in my chocolate fix every day (yes, every single day) without guilt!

Hershey's Kisses have been around since 1907.  There are 9 varieties out there...my favorite and the best for is the Special Dark version.  The serving size is 9 kisses weighing in at 180 calories and 12 grams of fat.  Now--that doesn't mean you have to eat 9 kisses every time you want some chocolate.  I usually take 3 or 4--at 20 calories each, they leave you feeling satiated and happy!


The health benefits of dark chocolate stem from the flavonoids and antioxidants which provide protection for the heart and against oxidative damage.  Dark chocolate has been found to reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol and decrease inflammation.  Read more about the health benefits here.


There are many different types of dark chocolate on the market--if you don't like one, try another.  They all taste different and in moderation-- it really is good for you!  Happy Valentine's Day!


Note:  There will be no post this Monday, February 15th, due to the holiday.  Have a great weekend!
