Normally, we love chocolates. This is because the chocolates contain Anandamide. This anandamine binds the special receptors in the brain, giving us joy and makes us to love chocolates. Some chocolates also contain substances like theobromine. It is thought that the theobromine makes our brain to produce anandamine by itself. In addition to this, the chocolates contain lot of sugars which releases dopamine that acts as a reward system. Dopamine makes us pleasure and feel good. As it makes us feel good, we tend to eat more chocolates to get the same feeling. And thus, we get addicted to chocolates. Also, the dry fruits like cashew, almond etc., are added to chocolates, hence the desire to eat chocolate increases.
