What would you do for chocolate?

I love chocolate.  Mostly the dark variety.  On a recent "Goddess" retreat to Costa Rica, one of the evening activities was "Chocolate tasting".


If you have read a bit of my blog ("No Drama Mama") then you will have learned that I bailed out on most of the Goddess activities.  But I showed up for this one!


I understand that chocolate cocoa or dark chocolate may positively affect the circulatory system.  Other possible effects under research include anticancer, brain stimulator and more.  An aphrodisiac effect is yet unproven....

So our Goddess retreat leader led us to a patio area (also with the promise of wine) and there we found cushions, candles and....blindfolds!  Apparently, this was to be a sensual chocolate tasting.

Having traveled with my female friend (emphasis on friend), we were a little reluctant.  However, we put the blindfolds on, fed each other chocolate and had a lovely night in Costa Rica.

It's not something I'd typically do, but "when in Costa Rica", I'd do pretty much anything for some yummy chocolate!

So the next time you and your friend/significant other are bored, get out the chocolate, and a blindfold.  You might just benefit from that chocolate tasting, in more ways than one!
