What I thought about the book:
So, I am not a huge fan of chocolate but I do like a small piece or two occasionally. However, this book is one that I found myself indulging in. Chapter after chapter and recipe after delicious recipe kept me going but the life stories is really what kept me interested. This book is so much about life addressing stress, happiness, chocolate, friendship, eating, chocolate, sharing, depression and chocolate. The Author tells so many uplifting stories about handling different situations that come upon us all during our lifetimes and gives some simple advise and simple yet easy to understand scriptures on handling and understanding why we deal with things they way we do and why we crave chocolate when we do.
There are some yummy looking recipe in this book that I am looking forward to trying. And also there are some quotes from various people answering the question: "What's your secret to a sweeter journey on the rocky road of life?"
