A chocolate bath & other exciting Valentine's Day ideas

Romantic dinner for two at a restaurant? Wonderful, but not exactly original. Curious how you can make Valentine's Day truly unforgettable this year? We've put together a few ideas to help get you started. Are you curious to know why chocolate stimulates your love life? Or to know the recipe for – no, your eyes are not deceiving you – a true chocolate bath? Then please read on.

Why do chocolate and love pair so well together?

People associated chocolate with love as far back as during Aztec times. And, in fact, this is logical since the main ingredient of chocolate is cacao. Cacao happens to be a substance that causes your brain to produce the "happy hormone" endorphin. The higher the cacao content in chocolate, the higher the endorphin level. So if you want to give the butterflies in your beloved's stomach an extra boost, get out the dark chocolate!

Let’s make it hot hot hot

Life is too short to take it seriously. Did you know that in addition to being a delicious treat, chocolate is also perfect for entirely different activities? So put on some old clothes and challenge each other to a chocolate fight. Or put on very few clothes, get a set of paint brushes and use each other as a living canvass for a chocolate painting. Your chocolate will stay warm for hours in our Choco Fondue Marie, without burning. Perfect if you get distracted for a while 😉

I want one of those Chocolate Fondues!

"The way to someone's heart is through the stomach"
