The craving for chocolate is physical, arising out of the desire for its uniquely dark, slightly bitter, rich taste. But the craving is also emotional for chocolate symbolizes, as does no other food, luxury, comfort, sensuality, gratification and love. Although chocolate may not actually be a true aphrodisiac, it does contain theobromine, a mild relative of caffeine and magnesium, a component found in some tranquilizers, so it has the unique ability to simultaneously both pick you up and calm you down. In addition, it's said eating chocolate releases a chemical in your body similar to that which is produced when you're in love. Chocolate can be used as an ingredient in most recipes with no preparation at all and the applications are seemingly endless. If you think that chocolate is only for after dinner, think again! $20 per participant - cash only.
