I've been on a hunt for the best ever chocolate mousse recipe. Best one so far is from Big Island (Hawaii). Anyone got a good one I can pit against it?

aucepan; heat thoroughly.

Ever wondered as to what it is about chocolates that makes you feel so good? Chocolate stimulates the secretion of endorphins, producing a pleasurable sensation similar to a 'runner's high', the high a jogger feels after a long stretch of running. These pleasurable experiences stimulate the body to produce a powerful antibody called secretory immuno globulin A, which strengthens the immune system. Therefore, next time you pop up a chocolate, do not feel guilty. It increases your immunity. An average chocolate bar contains as many as 250 grams of chocolate, and one piece of chocolate contains one- tenth of that. Therefore, it is good to indulge in a piece or two.

Did you know it cuts cholestrol?

Eating chocolate results in higher antioxidants, which cuts cholesterol. Yes, it is a myth that eating chocolates results in increased cholesterol. Chocolate is a product of plants, and it contains no cholesterol at all, though it does contain calories.

It reduces fatigue.

If you're tired, simply reach for a chocolate. It is a powerful fighter of fatigue and not only boosts your spirit, but also raises your energy levels as well. It is also an anti-depressant. Chocolate contains a neurotransmitter, serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant, while its other properties also have a stimulating effect. Chocolate is not high in caffeine. In fact, the amount of caffeine in a typical 1.4-ounce chocolate bar or an 8-ounce glass of chocolate milk is equivalent to that found in a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

Heart benefits?

A 1.5 ounce chocolate bar contains about the same amount of total phenolic compounds as a 5-ounce serving of red wine, which has been associated with a reduced risk for coronary heart disease. And can you think of a better combination than red wine and chocolate? Chocolate reduces the formation of internal blood clots, further reducing the chances of a coronary blockage. Certain heart patients are prescribed aspirin, in order to prevent the formation of blood clots. Cocoa complements this property of aspirin.
