Lust for Chocolate and Champagne

By Paul Carfagnini

Ever notice that little jolt after getting a bite of chocolate.  It might be the shot of sugar, or maybe a bit of a buzz kicking in your sex drive.

Chocolate offers many aphrodisiac elements. 

Sip creamy hot chocolate for an easy caffeine boost or munch on a dark morsel for a charge of serotonin.   

Wash down the chocolate and maintain the mood with sparkling wine.  

Aphrodisiac food authority, Amy Reiley says the giddy stream of effervescence flowing from the bottom of the champagne glass pops the bubbly beverage as the head of aphrodisiac drinks. 

The author of Fork Me, Spoon Me, Reiley says the heady yeast and aromatics add to the allure with its ability to replicate human pheromones.
