As for a Chocolatey perspective. I've long been convinced chocolate the 60 % and up kind are just as good for your blood as a small glass of red wine. I've noted it's affect on my physical and mental state. The less sugar tolerable the better. I found some interesting information about Chocolate/ Cocoa and Coffee. There is no caffeine in Chocolate. This is good news because caffeine the drug that it is,  dehydrates the body.  I started my research with this Article on Xocoatl Chocolate: Facts or Fiction. Maybe you might find it fascinating too. For enquiring minds. The recipe below has a good amount of sugar, but it can easily be adjusted and other sweeteners that have more health benefits can be implemented to get an even better product.
