Top ten sweets

Almost everyone likes sweets and we can't imagine a world anymore without these delicious calorie suppliers. We know it all; too many sweets can damage our health but that doesn't mean we need to avoid them all. If you can keep yourself in control; eating sweets don't hurt your general health if you provide a well balanced diet. The difficulty is that sweets are addictive and you need some courage to say "no" at time. Too much sweets will raise your level of cholesterol and sugar in your body and can cause terrible health problems. So don't exaggerate and enjoy these delicious sweets.

There is plenty of choice in delicious sweets and everyone has different preferences but I will try to give you my top ten:

Even ice-cream which you keep in a freezer doesn't provide the excellent taste of this delicious sweet. Ice-cream is available worldwide but you will only find the best one in Italy.

I love chocolate and it is difficult to choose my favorite kind of chocolate. Belgium chocolate is considered as the best one in the world because most recipes contain 100% cacao butter. There are many different tastes and I prefer milk chocolate and pralin. I think almost everyone likes chocolate; there are so many differences that everyone will find a kind of chocolate according to their favorite taste. The smell of chocolate is already addictive and is also used to prepare chocolate cake or chocolate mousse. Some other popular chocolates are dark chocolate, chocolate liquor, pralines and truffles.

3. APPLE STRUDEL

Apple strudel is also one of my favorite sweets. It is a kind of pastry filled with apple and baked in an oven. It is one of the most popular sweets in Austria. I prefer to eat this sweet with vanilla ice-cream.

4. PANCAKE

Pancake is a popular sweet made of eggs, flour and milk. I prefer to eat pancakes with brown sugar but the taste is also delicious with syrup or with white sugar. The recipes of pancakes are different among the different
