Everyone knows that kids adore chocolate. When good chocolate is consumed in moderation, it can be part of a healthy and balanced diet, especially if it encourages children to eat more fruit!

In fact, fruit is perfect for dipping in chocolate. Dark chocolate is preferable to milk chocolate, because dark chocolate contains less sugar and more cocoa.
