Mandi....
My situation sounds like your husbands as far as the chocolate goes. I can eat it but the consistancy as it melts in my mouth bothers me. So...I now buy "non perrels" (not sure how to spell it). They are those round pieces of chocolate with the white beads on them. The ones I get are made with semi-sweet chocolate and go down much easier. My weight gain proves it!!
