Most people I know love chocolates…ok, Everyone LOVES chocolates!!

We associate chocolate with pleasure, so just the smell will stimulate a body’s “feel happy” chemicals and a sense of well-being.  Perhaps that is why a growing number of products infused with chocolate scent: candles, soaps, body lotion, or even fragrance.

So, we often have customers asking for the ‘Sonoma Chocolate Scented Pillows’ for a little

‘Chocolate Therapy’ …but without the calories!

One of my favorite chocolate shops is Jacques Torres in Brooklyn – DUMBO (‘Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass’). You can check out what they are making through the kitchen window. Summer time is best to enjoy these yummy goodies sitting outside, watching people going by…For the colder days, sipping a mug of their rich and creamy hot chocolate inside the shop is a great treat!

If you also enjoy organic chocolates like me, try Green & Black (www.greenandblackdirect.com). Indulge yourself with their wonderful gift sets for special occasions or just enjoy a single bar today.

Dagoda (www.dagobachocolate.com) is another organic brand I love.  Their unique blends of ingredients such as ‘Lavender’, ‘Roseberry’, or ‘Mon Cherri’ are such a delightful snack.

So, if you enjoy cooking or making desserts, here is a website you should not missed, Seduction Meals (www.seductionmeals.com).   Their concept is about ‘Food + Romance’ and the premise is that everyone should learn to master one dish that is their signature dish – a Seduction Meal to enchant and captivate that special someone in your life.’  You guess it; there are various Chocolate recipes…try them out tonight, and see what happens…
