Chocolate is a natural source of tyrosine which becomes dopamine, in addition to caffeine content, it also has small amount of choice cannabinoids (the active ingredients in marijuana). All of these things release endorphins and improve mood. My favorite nighttime ritual now is to eat a big chunk of HEAVY baker's chocolate and pound as many pushups as I can without feeling sore. I would compare it to a hit of weed. It could just be a placebo effect, but the mind work in mysterious ways, if you can trick it into releasing endorphins then it definitely works!
