Chocolate Lovers Unite
Ok...I must
admit I love chocolate. There is just something
about eating chocolate that relieves stress
and gives me a peaceful, relaxed feeling.
There are
two places here in Naperville that I think of
when I think chocolate. The first one is Le Chocolat Bar of Naperville.
Located in downtown Naperville,
a great place to relax and experience a variety of chocolates and chocolate flavored coffees (an upscaled
version of Starbucks). The interesting thing about
Le Chocolate
is the story behind the opening of the store. The owner, once suffering
from Fybromyalgia discovered the healing
benefits of eating dark
chocolate and since has become passionate about dark
chocolate and thus the opening her store. She now has the dark
chocolate specially made and sells it there. (Now I can
feel less guilty when eating it).
The second
place is Ethel's Chocolate
Lounge, a fun place to
hang out with friends. They offer the best chocolate fondue I have ever had, (talk
about chocolate indulgence) and paired up
with the coffee it some how enhances the chocolate flavor
even further (if you can imagine that) overall a great place to sit
back and enjoy chocolate!
Well that is my chocolate story ... Are there
any other chocolate
lovers out there?

I have one question. Why in the world would anyone eat VANILLA ice cream? LOL.

LOL... ok, I am at that point in the month where this is sounding great... I love chocolate, when I am looking for a cheat, I make a protein shake with pure cocoa and half a banana, it feels naughty, but the calories are in check.

Oh Maria! Sounds like I left Naperville too soon - we didn't have these chocolate houses back in 2000! And we certainly have nothing like that here in South Central Missouri... might have to take a road trip for chocolate.

Hi Debbie - A lot has changed in Naperville since 2000, you'll have to take a trip out and see what you think :)

My sister in law lives in Bolingbrook and is getting married the end of this month. We were planning on going up for just the weekend but I'd like to stay longer. We'll have to see - need to have time to check out all the chocolate hang outs!

Active Rain Choco Holic... Sounds like you need the Betty Ford clinic. I'm sure they will have to open an AR wing soon.
