Godiva Chocolate Truffles: Why Still Nothing Says 'I Love You' Like Chocolate




Many fancy the wiles of chocolates including godiva chocolate truffles as an inducement to love -- as it was considered a staple for seduction by the French. Though they were not the only ones; apparently Casanova imbibed chocolate before many of his amorous escapades.

For those who wonder if chocolate really has a "love chemical," chocolate truffles contains chocolates that has phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound that releases the natural feel-good chemicals called endorphins in the brain. PEA is released by the brain when people are falling in love. If the PEA induced by an actual love relationship lasts longer than that caused by the ingestion of chocolate and chocolate truffles a like, then again chocolate is easier to procure than a relationship. One survey found that 50 percent of women preferred chocolate over sex.

Godiva Chocolate Truffles: Chocoholics appeal

it's tough to make a serious case for a breakfast of chocolate, but we might have a fair substitute that's less of a stretch.

Godiva's new medium-roast coffees come in a variety of flavors, from Godiva Chocolate Truffle to Godiva Chocolate Hazelnut Creme, but we like the unflavored Breakfast Blend the best. One tester said of her decaf trial, ''Reminds me of my beloved 85 percent cocoa dark chocolate trufle squares.''

Godiva Chocolate Truffles: be my Valentine

Love is in the air. For the romantics among us, there is no better way to express our affection than to give our loved ones the food of the gods.

SOME people may argue that Valentine’s Day is totally overrated, but there are those who are convinced that it is the only time of the year when we are reminded of what hopeless romantics we really are.

If there is magic beyond the commerce of Valentine’s Day, it is the idea that there is someone out there who we truly care about and would go out of our way to make them feel appreciated.

And as a prelude to an exciting dinner date, a gift of chocolates is usually offered to bring a bit of romantic lore to the table.

Adrian Moh, who confesses to being a romantic when it comes to pleasing his girlfriend, says the best way to get to her heart is through chocolates.

“I buy her a box of Godiva chocolate truffles that come with a short poem and it really makes her happy, which in turn makes me happy,” he says.

nother fan of the delectable confection is Mohammad Fikry Zainuddin, who gets his stock from Godiva at KLCC.

“Although the Valentine package is not cheap, I’d like my wife to know that nothing in the world is too good for her,” he says.

Godiva, which also has an outlet in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, sells premium, hand-crafted chocolates and novelty gifts in a selection of lovely gift boxes.
