Choco-holics..Time to rejoice

Recent studies show that a daily dose of dark chocolate contains antioxidants that can lower blood pressure, helping to prevent heart disease.

But there’s no need to stuff your mouth and gorge – chocolate is notoriously high in calories and fat and the effects of overindulgence will soon show up around your waist. Less than 30 calories, or approximately one-quarter of an ounce, is the perfect amount to satisfy both your sweet tooth and your body. So now, there's always an excuse for dessert.

If you're in the market for a heart-healthy indulgence, here are their top five picks.

1. Cacao Reserve by Hershey's Extra Dark
2. Lindt Excellence Extra Fine Dark
3. Chocolove Organic Dark
4. Valrhona Le Noir Amer Dark Bittersweet
5. Scharffen Berger Semisweet Pure Dark
