What Causes the ‘Taste’ of Chocolate?

Chocolate tastes good because of the special flavors it has inside. When you eat chocolate, your mouth starts to feel happy because of a few kinds of flavor particles called compounds. Some are sweet, some are nutty or rich, and together they make your brain say 'yum!' It’s like having a little party in your mouth.
