Consider this: the more chocolate a country eats, the more Noble Prize winners it will produce. Ponder that chocolate eaters tend to be thinner. Contemplate that chocolate consumers have fewer strokes and lower blood pressure, and that studies suggest it can protect your skin from UV ray damage. Still believe that chocolate is evil and bad for you?

I don't.

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is a favorite for many of the bloggers here at MNN. With all of the chocolate recipes on the site, I thought I'd gather a few of them together for you to browse and enjoy.

Organic Biscotti with Chocolate Chips: Why not whip a batch of these up to give as gifts to friends along with some fair trade coffee beans, as they are perfect for dipping into coffee!
