Yes. Although chocolate contains oxalic acid (a chemical that binds calcium in many plants, such as spinach), Adora Calcium contains much more calcium than chocolate contains oxalate so there's plenty of free calcium left over.

Should you open a bar of chocolate and see a white coating on the surface, it does not mean that it is moldy. It indicates that the finished chocolate product was exposed to too much heat, and the cocoa butter particles separated from the rest of the mix and settled at the surface when the chocolate cooled down again.

Chocolates do have nutritional benefits in their phyto-nutrients!

I'm not surprised that you love chocolate. I've never met anyone who doesn't love chocolate. Frankly, I love chocolate. The Latin name for chocolate is "Theobroma," which means "food of the gods."
