    Chocolate Now
    Chocolate has become a huge success now, and it has been rumored that we are running out of chocolate. I don't think that's possible, since chocolate is a renewable resource, but still... My favorite kind of chocolate is either white chocolate or milk chocolate. My favorite chocolate bar is the Hershey's Cookies and Cream chocolate bar.
