The Good
Chocolate is actually good for you.

The flavonoids in dark chocolate have been shown to help to lower your blood pressure.8
Eating chocolate can also lower our stress hormones (cortisol) and can cause our brain to release feel good endorphins and oxytocin, the love hormone.

The theobromine and phenylethylamine in cocoa can affect serotonin levels which can help with low mood/depression.2
Chocolate can make us feel good by calming our cravings and releasing relaxing hormones.
And when we are talking raw cacao, it has more than 20 times more antioxidant than blueberries and is also a good source of protein, calcium, carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, magnesium, sulfur, flavonoids and essential fatty acids 9.
