Want something to balance the savory taste of your meal? Choose dark chocolate. Even a little can do the trick, that’s why it’s the go-to dessert of a lot of people leaning towards a healthy lifestyle.

Here are a few ways you can savor dark chocolate:

1. Make it you workday treat!
In the middle of a particularly demanding day, take a break, and much on some dark chocolate. It will melt away stress as it melts in your mouth.

2. Make it a staple in your relaxing ritual.
"Me time" is not complete without your heartwarming comfort food. Cap off the experience with some dark chocolate in hand.

3. Bring it to family dinner and game night.
Sharing some dark chocolate with the ones closest to your heart can work magic. Pass around a few pieces after the home cooked meal you all just devoured.

4. It’s perfect for a wine-tasting party.
Host a wine tasting party and entertain friends in a casual setting. Get a wide array of wine along with different kinds of cheese, fruits and dark chocolates to bring out different notes in each one.

5. Brunches are great with your girl friends. They're even better when you toss in some chocolate.
Catch up with your girls over brunch. Talk about anything and everything under the sun. It’s even better when done in your house, with your homemade dishes to boot. End the meal with a few bites of dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate screams versatility. Everyone gets to enjoy it in their own unique ways. If you’re not very well-versed with dark chocolate, you may want to try chocolate tasting to know which one suits your taste preference best. The cacao percentage can help serve as a guide. A higher percentage cacao typically leads to a more robust chocolate flavor.
