How Many Calories Are In Chocolate

I think Chocolate is largely an “empty-calorie” food that is unhealthy and has little to offer in the way of nutrition.

False. While chocolate does provide calories, they certainly are not empty. Chocolate also provides a variety of other essential vitamins; minerals and other substances (simply read the rest of this booklet to find out why chocolate is a healthful food.)

I think you're confusing pure chocolate, or cocoa or cacao, and the sugar and other additives in candied chocolate.  By itself, it is high in caffeine, so eating too much isn't a good idea, and it's also high in fat, although that fat isn't necessarily that bad in moderation, but it's also high in antioxidants and is good for stomach problems -- but again, not with the sugar and corn syrup and everything else added, and not eaten in large quantities.
