What is it about dark chocolate that makes it so addicting? At first glance, I don't even necessarily enjoy the flavor. It's bitter and acrid. But the flavor has some complexity to it. It develops...there is this subtle deliciousness about it that I can't quite grasp

The chemical make up above includes at least 3 different types of low-strength stimulants (including one in the amphetamine class), a very-weak opoid-based anesthetic, and a chemical responsible for binding with THC-receptors that make marijuana intake pleasurable.
That's all on top of any relative sugar content. I love chocolate as a flavor to the exclusion of nearly every other flavor when given the option, and probably an undiagnosed problem with it.

It rarely does cost more, and never that much more. Lindt charges the same for both.
