Chocolate

As opposed to popular myth, chocolate doesn't cause acne or migraines. And it contains some of the same heart-disease-and-cancer-fighting antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. While it is high in fat, research has shown that stearic acid, the main fat in chocolate, does not raise cholesterol. In fact, chocolate increases serotonin in the brain, which means it's a mood booster.
Try:- Dark chocolate. More pure chocolate means it contains less fatty cocoa butter.
Skip: - Chocolate bars filled with caramel, marshmallow and other fatty fillings.
