Sweet Surrender

IT INTOXICATES AND INVIGORATES. The senses surrender to its velvety touch, luscious taste and hypnotic aroma. Transmuted from the cocoa (also called cacao) bean into a delirious array of confections, chocolate has for centuries been held in esteem as one of humankind’s greatest pleasures. There’s no better time——or excuse——than the holiday season to indulge your cocoa craving. In that spirit, we bring you a sweet selection of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate sensations. Bet you can’t eat just one.
