10 Signs You’re a Chocoholic

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

It’s a safe bet you’ll eat almost anything covered in chocolate. Whether it be milk, dark or white; it’s all chocolatey goodness to you. You tend to listen to your cravings and eat that piece of chocolate, more than you probably should. Here’s 10 signs you’re a chocoholic:

1. You’ll eat it in any form

Chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars, chocolate candy, truffles, cereal and milkshakes galore. They all hold a special place in your heart.

 

2. You think Nutella is the best thing ever

It’s basically spreadable chocolate, with a touch of hazelnut. You’ve put it on everything. Toast, cookies, fruit the list goes on. You’ve also used just a spoon and your fingers, no shame.

 

3. At a restaurant, you immediately look at the dessert menu for a chocolate based option

You’ll figure what you want for your main course later, planning a chocolate dessert is a must. A cake, mousse, molten lava cake, ice cream, tiramisu; anything with a hint of chocolate works for you.

 

4. You find it hard to share your chocolate

Chocolate is delicious, you seriously question people who don’t like it. When someone wants to try a piece of your chocolate, you look at them like they are crazy, don’t they know chocolate is your favorite?

 

5. You eat chocolate multiple times a week

Had a stressful day? Have a piece of chocolate. Craving something sweet? Anything chocolate is always the answer.

 

6. You have a preferred chocolate brand

Hershey’s, Nestle, Godiva, Cadbury, Ferrero Rocher, Ghirardelli, Kinder, Dove; you’ve tried them all. There is no such thing as bad chocolate, but you certainly have a go-to brand.

 

7. You love post-holiday candy sales

Easter, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Halloween; you’ll hit the store right after the holidays and stock up on your favorite chocolate candies.

 

8. When you’re upset, people always ask if you need some chocolate

When you’re feeling upset, mad, sad, stressed, etc.; people frequently offer you chocolate. Chocolate will definitely kick your bad mood.

 

9. You tend to buy things just because chocolate is in them

Cereal, face masks, chap stick, candles, lotion; if it smells or tastes like chocolate, you’ve got to have it. It’s so easy for people to get you presents, they just look for something chocolate.

 

10. You have your own chocolate stash

You have a secret stash with all of your precious chocolate, hidden away from the rest of the world. The only people who have access to it are you and only SOMETIMES your loved ones.

 

You’re sure anyone who prefers vanilla or caramel flavors before chocolate needs to reevaluate their lives. Continue to cherish your favorite chocolate treats, chocoholics unite!
