CHOCOLAT.

There are some things in life you can't live without, and Chocolate is one of them.

Who would have thought that a fermented, roasted and ground brown bean paste could taste so, so good. And so it is that we enjoy this refined delicacy as often as we can and in as many ways as possible. Spoilt for choice we thought it best we do the hard work for you in hunting down some of the best chocolate around. Forgive us though as not every brand we love is included as this post would be 1000 pages long.

It is our weakness, and if after gazing your eyeballs over these images you are not running off to the nearest store to grab some or getting online to order a delivery - then my friend, there is something seriously wrong with you.

I actually may or may not be writing this with a fresh latte and a little slice of somethin, somethin...
