Chocolate as both scent and edible food, stimulates endorphin production in the body, which make you feel good. It’s why so many choco-holics exist and why giving your sweetheart a box of chocolates can work in your favor. However, for a personal touch try dipping pretzels, hard candies, fruits and nuts in chocolate – perhaps even engaging in a chocolate fondue with your lover the next time you seek a romantic evening. The skewers piercing the flesh of these fun foodstuffs, dipping, then twirling and languishing in the chocolate are sure to enhance your sensual mindspring no matter how many of them actually make it to your mouths.

"Substances found in chocolate, such as phenylethylamine, theobromine, anandamide and tryptophan trigger mood enhancing chemicals and neurotransmitters to be released in the brain. Phenylethylamine is a chemical found in the body that is similar to amphetamine. It helps mediate feelings of giddiness, attraction, euphoria and excitement. Researchers believe phenylethylamine causes the brain to release mesolimbic dopamine in the pleasure centers of the brain, which peaks during an orgasm. This may be why women report to prefer chocolate to sex"

chocolate has sugar and caffeine which can give you a lift, plus it causes a release of the same endorphins that you have when you fall in love.
