Chocolate is not only a treat that tastes good but is also good for you in many ways. Research has shown it to have an effect on lowering cholesterol. This yummy treat also has antioxidants, which are super good for you!
If you are in the mood to be a bit indulgent, there’s nothing like your favorite candy bar to treat yourself. While that expensive pair of kicks might be out of reach and planning a new vacation is simply not on your radar – you can take a break & bite into that chocoately goodness!
When sweeties date and fall in love – chocolate is the treat they often exchange the most. Did you know that on Valentine’s Day, people will give more than 58 million pounds of chocolate? And that’s just in the U.S.A.!
Chocolate simply makes people smile. Whether making a new friend or spending time with someone you’ve known forever, nothing brings out a big grin like passing them a scrumptious chocolate treat – just for them!
Chocolate has been an indulgent treat enjoyed for centuries. Sweet chocolate drinks were drunk by people in both Mexico and Guatemala in as early as 1900 BC.
Chocolate is so much fun that is has inspired not only a theme park but a spa! In Hershey, Pennsylvania you can go to Hershey Park, a unique theme park featuring delicious Hershey chocolate treats and goodies. Ladies will also be thrilled to find their special chocolate spa NAME that features treatments such as Cocoa Facial Experience or a Cocoa Massage.
This sweet treat makes people so passionate that they will even tempt risking a day in court. Cadbury was banned in 2015 from being sold in the U.S.A., but small stores continued to sell it, knowing that their customers loved the original U.K. chocolate sweets.
Chocolate can be fancy or simple, one of the reasons we adore it. If you’re looking for the “world’s most expensive chocolate bar” then you can’t go wrong with Amedei Porcelana. This scrumptious dark chocolate bar is made by the Amedei chocolatier in Tuscany, Italy. Be prepared to take tiny bites – a 1.8 ounce bar in the U.S.A. costs in the range of $13 and $19. It has won many awards and those who have indulged have enjoyed every delicious bite.
Not only can you taste the tempting chocolate on your tongue and let it dance along your taste buds, but you can let your other senses enjoy it as well. Today dark chocolate is a very popular note in quite a few women’s perfumes and fragrances. If you are true choco-phile, then one or two of these on your WHAT is simply a must. Try a few of these:

We’ve talked about how sweeties often give chocolate as gifts but we should also mention why – there is quite a bit of research & rumor that points to chocolate being an aphrodisiac. Women are more considered to be sensitive to the allure of the cocoa bean than men, so it doesn’t surprise us that many chocolate themed gifts are focused on being for women. Scientists have found that when someone consumes chocolate, it releases chemicals – one is tryptophan which is part of serotonin, known to help with getting us all in a romantic mood. The 2nd chemical is phenylethylamine which is released into our systems when we fall in love with someone.
