Godiva offers night in chocolate hotel room if you buy the right box of candy http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22903236/ 
updated 5:04 p.m. CT, Tues., Jan. 29, 2008 NEW YORK - Don't lick the walls. An all-chocolate room was unveiled in Manhattan on Tuesday — a pre-Valentine's Day creation complete with furniture and artwork made of the sweet stuff. "It's the perfect bit of sin," said Ali Larter, star of TV's "Heroes," of the Godiva chocolate "pearls" that are her private daily indulgence Here, they were dripping off the chandeliers above the dining table, which was a sea of stars, truffles and crescents — all chocolate, of course, under glass. Larter is the celebrity face hired by the Belgian chocolatier for its annual Valentine's Day promotion contest. This year, anyone who buys the winning box of chocolates — for $23 and up — may win the chocolate room. It is to be re-created in a suite of Manhattan's Bryant Park Hotel for a pampered getaway weekend for two in May. The winning box — sold only in North America — will contain a note informing the buyer of his or her good luck. While no doubt a shameless commercial promotion — created by Los Angeles designer Larry Abel — the demo chocolate room set up on the sixth floor of an East Village building packed a tasteful, artsy punch. Hanging in the "living room" was a painting built entirely of multicolored chocolate pieces inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting "The Kiss." Above the dining table was a "canvas" dripping with brown and white chocolate — a takeoff on Jackson Pollock's signature "drip" paintings. And instead of words, books opened to a mound of chocolates. You could actually sit on the plush sofa, which was chocolate-graced only on its sides, and the walls are made of chocolate. There were a couple of "dont's" in the room: lighting the fireplace (with its chocolate logs and mantle) and the candles (all chocolate). In addition, sinking into the easy chairs was discouraged — unless you wanted to rise with a chocolate-covered derriere. | |

i like to freeze mine. 
then you use the the end of the spoon to slowly and patiently chip away at the yolk. makes it last longer. letting it melt on your tongue. 
best easter ever... dad had bought a case of them and my nieces aged 2 and 3 (who are now 21 and 22) went shrieking through the house on the hunt. it was that very innocent "i'm having so much fun i might burst" kind of moment  She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |

If it were a toss up as to which one I would have to do without, I could quite happily get by without mobile phones, internet...electric lighting, hell even the wheel is overrated, you know? Oh yes.

A room of chocolate and you think some skinny heifer is gonna be in there eating it? Give us a REAL scenario! | |

I hate all the flavors but the caramel ones. I seriously got sick last year with the caramels. My boyfriend, however, LOVES all the different kinds. I watched him eat a ton of the originals then go out to get some more post-easter ones on sale...  | |

Surely the ultimate presentation of chocolate. I liked to think of them as a more classy and refined Aero. 
But when did they cost 45p!?!?
And now I can't find one anywhere....  |

I liked them when I was a kid but, at 34, they're wayyyy to sweet for my old lady tastebuds.
i still like the little eggs with the malt center (like whoppers). They're yummy. | |

Creme Eggs just ain't what they used to be! I'm sure they used to be at least 30% bigger and the chocolate at the top was so rock hard it took at least 5 mins to gnaw your way into the middle, however Hey - you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect! There's a frood who really know's where his towel is! | |

I love 'em. Can't get them out here though.  | |

The fondant filling is solid when the eggs are made, then injected with an enzyme which causes it to liquify into the gooey substance found in the finished product. [Edited 1/31/08 22:07pm] | |

I don't know if you can get them in other parts of the world but at this time of the year Cadbury's Creme Eggs hit the scene and they are fucking delicious. Anyone else enjoy these oval little joys? How do you eat them? Do you gnaw at them, suck out the yoke or eat them whole? I once planted a load of creme eggs around an ex-girlfriends' bedroom because she loved them too. I denied all knowledge of how they got there. the caramel ones are good to  i just bite the top off and get to it lol
