Ghiradelli chocolate chips 60% dark chocolate. They have been in the stores for awhile. I see them at Target and some grocery stores.

If I'm not mistaken the 60% has to do with the cocoa content.
Good information Gail - Thank you!
Do you prefer dark or milk chocolate?
I eat dark - that way the kiddos leave it alone LOL
I eat both and also pick up white chocolate once in a blue moon, but dark is my fave!
thanks Gail
"Dairy can interfere with the absorption of antioxidants" -- uh-oh I like milk with my chocolate.

I've known this for awhile as Dr. Oz recommends chocolate for our health...BUT....here's what he says about it.......
Numbers also count when it comes to dessert. Dr. Oz says when you need a sweet treat, reach for a little bit of chocolate—and a brownie doesn't count! Don't go for the milk chocolate either, Dr. Oz says. You need dark chocolate with 70 percent or more pure cocoa to reap the benefits of flavonoids.
"Flavonoids are these really powerful, vitamin-like substances that when you eat them, guess what they do? They dilate the arteries of the body," Dr. Oz says. "We actually have data they may be beneficial to the heart. So a little bit of dark chocolate is a wonderful dessert."
