My dad is not a fan of chocolate. My mom is, and she cannot have a dessert without it, but my dad is always trying to find a way to avoid chocolate. It is not good for his health and he really does not like to play with it all. One thing that he does, if he can, is order the chocolate on the side for a dessert. That way, he can control how much chocolate he actually eats. It is definitely tough for him, but he does a really good job and we admire him for it.
We try to help him a lot in every way we can. Obviously, my mom does not give up chocolate all together because it is not a life or death situation for my dad. He likes her to enjoy her chocolate anyway. But we try to help him by making recipes at home that do not require chocolate. Or altering recipes to take out the chocolate and then let those who want it, add it. For example, every time we make chocolate chip cookies, we make half of the batter without the chocolate chips. They are surprisingly tasty, actually!
