Celebrate National Dark Chocolate Day with us by trying out this dark chocolate custard recipe from Fearless Dining! Dark chocolate contains a good amount of fiber and is also a great source of iron, an essential mineral that helps carry oxygen throughout our body. If you also want to lower your cholesterol, dark chocolate contains polyphenols and theobromine that can help keep your good cholesterol levels balanced and healthy. Dark chocolate is not just delicious, it’s also quite nutritious!
