Is it normal that i dislike sweet chocolate?
I eat 95% dark chocolate, not the sweet and sugary stuff! I tried some Cadbury milk chocolate the other day and the sweetness was overwhelming. I need that natural cocoa flavour, not sugar.
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

I dislike candy in general. I rarely eat unhealthy foods. When I do I try to still make it as healthy as possible like making black bean brownies. It's a lot tastier than it sounds lol.
If anybody else is a health nerd and wants the recipe to try making it:
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure honey, or agave
pinch uncut stevia
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes and let cool 10 minutes before cutting them.
A lot of the time I'll just put an apple or banana on the grill, bake a sweet potato, or make poached pears though.

I think it's normal, and is likely largely dependent on what you're used to eating. Those who are used to eating foods with a high amount of sugar or salt tend to crave those, while those who don't tend to find them way too sweet or salty.
Ever since I cut out soda and most convenience foods, I find soda to be sickeningly sweet and syrupy most of the time, and convenience foods to just taste very salty and lacking in any other flavor. While I still consumed these things regularly, on the other hand, I never noticed it.
Personally, the older I get, the more I like dark chocolate as well, and I've gradually moved up to higher percentages of cacao. I like to stick the bars in the freezer and break off small bits as an occasional snack, and it's perfect to curb a chocolate craving without all of the added sugars of milk chocolate (plus, a little goes a long way).
