does this mean i’m a grown up?
By the dawn
Today I had an original Hershey’s miniature. Didn’t satisfy and frankly made my stomach a little upset. The remedy?
Dark Chocolate!!!
I used to HATE dark chocolate. I couldn’t imagine passing up creamy milk chocolate for its bitter-less attractive-step-cousin. Now? I bit into a dark chocolate and felt right at home. 
Yummm! Don’t really care if I ever have “regular” chocolate ever again. It’s dark or “no thank you!” I think I’m officially grown up.
oh my gosh me too! i’m obsessed with dark chocolate lately and wouldn’t tOUCH it when i wasa kid. so funny.
Yep, I think dark chocolate goes into the same category as coffee, fine cheeses, anchovies (okay, well that is going a little far)…things that tasted like poo to us as kids.
Girl, I am right there with you….I am obsessed with Dark chocolate….maybe we are getting old!!! I do love white chocolate the best though. I do work at a private school, they fired half the teachers last year so we had to pick up all of their classes! Do you like private or public schools better?
Hahaha dark chocolate has grown on me also!!
Dark chocolate rocks my world! I can’t believe you didn’t like it before!!!!
it’s much like coffee and salad and wine…you have to aquire a taste”)
Mmmm chocolate…
I like all kinds, especially when peanut butter is also involved!
Dark chocolate is the best!!
Yummy!!
now you just need to pair that with some red wine and your a full blow GROWN UP! hehe.
I love dark chocolate.
Isn’t it funny how that happens? I remember my mom loving dark chocolate and thinking she was nuts.
hahaha!! I’ve always loved dark chocolate (maybe I was born old
). Especially the Hershey’s variety. Hershey’s milk chocolate tastes like wax. I’m glad you’ve finally seen the light! 
i’m with you! i love dark chocolate. i love a good 70% cocoa bar. the best part about it is you don’t have to eat much to feel satisfied.
I love Dark chocolate! Especially “Dove” dark chocolate and dark chocolate northern lite lattes at Caribou Coffee! You are officially a grown up:)
lol.. i must be semi-grown up then, cause i can now tolerate dark chocolate, but can’t say i’d ever pass up milk for dark.
I’m coming around to dark chocolate and have had the same thoughts – it makes me feel so much more mature and sophisticated than the milk variety
Wow, yeah, old lady. Just kidding!! I think it’s normal… our taste buds just change!
I still prefer milk, but I like going for dark because there’s less guilt… at least in my mind.
Love your ice bath routine!
I was the same way, except before, I didn’t even like chocolate much in general, either! Now… send dark chocolate my way!
Actually this all happened for me within a year when it comes to olives.
I love dark chocolate, but also regular. Also…all chocolate.
When I’ve “gone back” to eat milk chocolate, I don’t even like it anymore. I like to think that I’ve “seen the light” rather than grown up.
I completely agree with you! Maybe its mental for me in that I know DARK CHOCOLATE has antioxidants and is better than milk. Like Janae, I can down my fair share of white chocolate too!!
Hm. Maybe it does mean you’ve grown up, or at least that your tastes have matured. Truly, I never cared for milk chocolate–I always found it too sweet and it gave me a headache. I love the complexities of dark chocolate. Then again, I was the same girl who loved coffee as a 9 year old, so I’ve always had strange tastes, I guess.
I have a hard time turning down any type of chocolate.
Yep- you are grown up!
Hope you are having a GREAT weekend!!!
I guess I channel my inner 6 year old in this. Dark chocolate still tastes like rotten sawdust to me. Give me good ‘ol milk chocolate anyday =) I also prefer hot cocoa over coffee….with marshmallows…. =)
