Chocolatentcy

If stressed spelled backwards is
desserts, may I have mine in chocolate?
Truffle trouble, I could take.
Concerns with caramel inside.
Depressing, dark and semi-sweet,
milk choc'late misery. Anxiety or angst
with almonds mixed into the nougat, please,
or fruity bits stirred in with frustrations,
frothy drinks of cocoa cares and all
life's complications would be easier.

Well, sweeter, anyway.
