Yes: In moderation, of course. The better the quality, the more good for you. Research has shown several benefits, particularly related to mood regulation. But it should be part of a well planned diet, adjusted to you.

Depends: Only dark chocolate and it depends on the percentage of cacao. The higher the better, but stay at least above 70%. Also, try to avoid chocolates with more than 3-4 grams of added sugar per serving of at least one-third of the bar. Also try to avoid too much saturated fat as well as any added chemicals. Chocolate can lower LDL cholesterol.
