Chocolate is very much part of the Valentine's, Easter and
Mother's Day celebrations and I know that many of you papercrafters and card
makers are chocolate lovers…me included |

Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS. Therefore both of them are plants, in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. |

To go one step further, chocolate bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So chocolate is a health food. |
  |
Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. |
