AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES DARK CHOCOLATE? !?

I think the biggest advantage to really dark chocolate is the bitterness will keep you from eating more than a serving, but it still taste good

Until a year ago I used to love white chocolate and hate dark chocolate. Now it's the opposite. And I only eat 90 or 99% chocolate. #TeamDark

Your videos are the most informative and I love how u put so much work and research into them!

take fat over sugar!

I'm #teamdark. I like 70% cacao and sometimes reach for the 85%, it's the creaminess I love. If I want to go sweeter I'll reach for semi-sweet baking chips but that's as far as I go. For some reason I can taste the processiness (technical term) of milk and white chocolate so I can't get into those.

#teamdark I love 70-80% chocolate😍

WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT CHOCOLATE.

Very informative. Awesome video.

Woww you put so much effort into that video!! Thanks, it was very informative :) !!!!!

I have tasted 85% coco chocolate and they are so good !

Perfect Research Perfectly edited !!! Kudos to you !! U put in massive amount of effotrs in ur videos 👏🏼👏🏼

FINALLY! Here’s the video so many of you have been waiting for. Let’s talk all about chocolate!!! PS- I’m #teamwhite :)

dang. there goes my excuse for dark chocolate infused red wine as a diet /health food

I can't say enough about how good your videos are to me but really this video opened my eyes so much about chocolate misconceptions. Thank you Alyssia, i appreciate your hard work and creativity. Love you as always. #teammilk

Thanks for the video! You're always very informative and I trust your opinions and research

In Australia there is a chocolate company called Well Naturally that uses Stevia. Their dark chocolate range is soooo divine

I think you've got the kindest "let's be real" voice I've ever heard. You do your research and you sound educated (and talking to an educated person is always the best), and you lay out the facts without being judgmental. Watching your videos is like talking to a friend who has your best interests at heart without making you feel like shit for being how you are, lmao, and I think that's the best compliment I can give anyone. I really appreciate all of the time, effort, and energy you put into your videos. Thank you for uploading another. =)

#teamdark because it's the tastiest and sometimes it doesn't have milk

Oompa Loompa! 😃

Your videos are AMAZING! I was just diagnosed w/ type 2 diabetes. My dr said that I could either pay to see a nutritionist or watch your videos. I looked you up and you are a wealth of information. And you present it in such an organized and entertaining manor! Thank you soooo much!

I can definitely tell you put a lot of hard work into this video! I LOVE your approach toward nutrition, and you are so informative! :)

#teamdark 80% is where it's at !

I love how informative your videos are ! Can you do a How to choose spreads video ? Like nut butter, jam, humus... thank you and keep up the good work !

You hair looks so good! Also I just use cacao powder for my chocolate fix now. Usually in a banana shake, but it's very versatile. I love the stuff.

I’m team dark all the way 85% is my “sweet” spot

Team Dark👍🏻☺️

You forgot to mention that cocoa treated with alkali decreases the antioxidants SIGNIFICANTLY. It's a process called dutching to reduce bitterness.

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! The information, the editing, everything! You can tell that there is a lot of work and effort put into this video! Loved it! :)

So much awesome information in an easy to watch hilarious video. Yesssss.

#TEAMDARK! My go to chocolate is the Ghiradelli 72% dark. I eat one square (not even a full serving) after lunch every. Single. Day. I also really like Green & Black Organic 86% dark. I wish I could find those in squares. Harder to stick to the smaller portions though.

Such an awesome informational video! I love these types of videos you do. I consider myself a foodie and pretty "healthy" but you always teach me something. Loved the Oompa Loompa!

This was a really well-researched video. Thank you so much for doing this and taking the time to edit the crap out of this! I'm #TeamDark because they're usually the ones that are vegan =)

I appreciate the video and information, but just a friendly but honest piece of feedback. I would prefer you not do the helium voice-very hard to understand and honestly a little annoying.

#teamdark 4 da win! 😂😂😂

My friend showed me your channel a few days ago and I absolutely fell in love with it! You're a fantastic (and really charismatic ;) ) person and I just can't help but watch all of the episodes! I've been into a healthy lifestyle for a while now and since I love cooking and eating (of course) you keep on giving me more and more inspiration to use all the leftover veggies and stuff in another way (your casserole is a hit in my family) :) In addition, I would love to see a "what I eat in a day - rest day edition" and more recipes with fish or seafood in general :) Love you Xx

You are so wonderfully entertaining and informative to boot! Tried and failed to like dark chocolate, so I've decided to rarely indulge in whatever chocolate I feel like. With the ongoing chocolate nutrition debates, I have grown to enjoy fruit as a sweet above all the rest. Those strawberries are amazing enough on there own. Thanks for teaching me how to read/compare nutrition labels and for another amazing video!

I am #TeamDark!

100% chocolate is delicious, it's like having a chocogasm! I love it!

Best reviewer ever! Keep it up!! 😇😇🥰

Brilliant video! I never thought about this before! The comparison of nutrients was fantastic!!

#teamwhite but why not just make dark chocolate covered pumpkin seeds?

I'm #TeamWhite, but since on my health binge... I' m a lover of 70% bittersweet. It's actually more filling than milk. After 2-4 bars I'm done (And I love to eat!)

Thank you. Great Job Kid. Keep up the great work, and videos. Good Friday to you. Blessings,

Very helpful video! Thanks for the honesty

#TeamDark I'm actually in the odd percentage that can eat bitter baking bars whole... was never a fan of milk, I think cadbury anything gives me a headache, which was a total lifesaver when I went Vegan 😂 but to each their own

So is it healthy or not ?

Very informative video, great job Alyssia!

Do you have this where you are? I'm in Mexico and I go to a store called "Chocolate Mayordomo" where I buy 100% cocoa beans ground up chunky. They run it through a machine that (somehow) grinds it up finer and melts it into liquid form. I take it home, add a little bit of stevia powder to taste, spread it out on a pizza pan (greased with a bit of coconut oil just in case), let it cool, break it up into pieces and store it in a container in the fridge. This is my idea of HEALTHY dark chocolate and I eat as much of the stuff as I want each and every day (on a ketovore diet, by the way). Great video! THANKS ;)

thanks for this video! #teamdark

#darkchocolate

Cool, funny and very professional video! I appreciate your attention to detail and humor. Subscribed 💗

75-80% is as far as I'll go for eating, but if I'm making brownies I get as dark as I can afford at that time (usually 85-90%). I find that they taste so much richer and more indulgent when they're make with darker chocolate. As far as eating goes, I'm lactose intollerant, so it's rare I go over the reccomended serving. Won't even touch white.

Pumpkin seeds!! 😂😂😂😂

#teamdark all the way! I think I might be the only person who can actually enjoy that 100% lol

finally this video is here😊, dark chocolate is my favorite ever. i love 85% and 90%, whenever i have oatmeal i bake it in the oven so the chocolate melts...its literal heaven

This video is simply amazing...excellent work!!!! thanks so much...

I loved white as a child but now I'm disgusted by it. Milk is for little cows not for humans!

So what did you do with all of that chocolate after this video? By the way, #TeamWhite.

I really really love how well thought out and educational your videos are. Thanks a lot, I'll be looking at the labels very carefully and the point about honesty was great too!

You're videos are so informative! I can always appreciate a channel that does their research to inform viewers. Keep up the good work!!

#teammilkdarkwhite hahaha

Love these videos! They're so informative and described in simple language! Thanks

Can u do a video about the chocolates they sell at Trader Joe's? The bars and the chips :) Thank you! I love your channel! :D

To get the benefits without the drawbacks, stick to (non dutched) cocoa powder. Zero fat and added sugar. I use it on my frozen bananas with nuts.

This really is a fantastic video. You broke this down in the simplest terms. Thank you so, so much.

My favourite dark chocolate is "MOSER ROTH" (85%). Per 100g it only contains 13g sugar. I tried 99% chocolate,it tasted really disgusting. I have coconut-sugar chocolate (75% and 92%) and I love both of them!

Love the way you teach!!! Entertaining and interesting!!

I'm one of those people who consider 85% chocolate not dark enough :D I prefer 100% raw cacao in my Kefir shake, when you combine really sour and bitter foods they actually start to taste kinda sweet :) Anyway, superb video, well done!

I love your educational videos. Huge thank you! 💖💖💖

Very good video! I have been curious about this for a while

Ahhhhh this was incredible! My favorite video of yours to date!!!

I've just discovered your channel and I love it so much! Thanks for taking the time to educate people about healthy foods!

So much knowledge and facts! I love it 😭🙌🏻

Thank you! Great information and you lessen my stress with you funny way of discussing things. Great job!

You are too funny I died at the oompa loompa part, I am obsessed with your channel.

My Favorite Is Ghirardelli: Intense Dark / Moonlight Mystique 92% Has Basically: 2 Grams Sugar, 4 Grams Dietary Fiber 3 Grams Of Proteins & Serving 3 Squares, Each Square Is 32 Grams x 3 Squares = 96 Grams!

GREAT video. Thanks for this. Loved the Willy Wonka shoutout and you tasting the 100% bar made me laugh hysterically. You guys are so creative + informative = I love it!

You are a legend. I love how you explain everything. It all makes so much sense to me now and I had no clue about how to read the labels. We have the 100g thing on our labels in Ireland but now I can read the labels and understand them. Thanks so much

Very informative, thank you.

I really love this video! So much effort into teaching us!!! Love it!!! Awesome work guys! 👍🏻 Really appreciate it!

I have been waiting for this! Great video! I would love to see more in your dining out series.

Thanks Alyssia! So informative!

Liked! Thanks for sharing this information. I'm sure this takes a ton of time. definitely appreciated.

Thank you so much for all of this research and making all the information understandable. This is a TON of work, and I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work you put into each and every video.

I love chocolate and once gave it up for a year. Uhhh. Dark chocolate is a better choice so I try to moderate my chocolate.Don't know much about cocoa nibs. Thanks for helping me refine this choice.

You are adorable! Love your style, thanks for breaking it down for us chocolate lovers!

I love your video's thank you for all your uploads

I seriously love these educational videos they are very good.

very informative , thank you!

i love these types of educational videos you do! so informative.

I'd really love to hear your opinion on a certain brand. Are you familiar with "OMBAR" raw chocolate? It's a vegan chocolate bar that comes in different flavours. Thes use raw cacao and advertise with more nutrients because they don't get lost in the cooking process. Instead of milk, they use coconut milk. They're high in calories(the one I'm holding here is 583 kcal per100g) and I personally find them more delicious than normal chocolate. They meld quicker though because of the coconut in it I believe so by room temperature they have a tendency to be really soft. I would reccomend it as a replacement for normal chocolate but I'm not sure if this really is such a healthy food or just a nice vegan option...

awww Alyssia!!!! you put so much effort in all your videos!! I love all your videos and I just wanted to say thank you for all your effort girl! :)

With regards to your comment on pumpkin seeds, I buy chocolate bark from the store that is 70% cacoa AND has pumpkin seeds so it's pretty high in iron for a small serving. Also, I put raw cacao in many things (like homemade frozen yogurt) and it's so good. It also means there's less fat and more fiber, protein, and minerals.

Just waiting for your videos every week! Super excited when I got this notification! You look amazing btw, your hair is so pretty!

Thanks for the information, really liked this video!

Cocoa powder is the best option, it has all the antioxidants and minerals with no saturated fat or sugar, and you can mix it in anything.

your videos are always informative, entertaining and on point appreciate your hard work love it :)
