Why does chocolate taste better in the morning?

I just stood on my porch in a wet bathing suit trying to get back into the house. It's 8 degrees out. Us swim ladies are determined to get our aqua- hydropsychotherapy no matter what. 

I came in the house and heard a chirp. It wasn't a bird, it was smoke alarm. I grabbed a chair and dismantled the closest one. Good. I heated up my coffee and sat down to read.  Then CHIRP! 

I must've taken down the wrong one. This requires chocolate! I  ate a square of dark chocolate and a peanut butter Christmas cookie from my husband's student for breakfast. 

Yes, I am slow. We are just getting to the holiday cookies now.
