A Chocoholic World
Video Playing Now: Chocoholic Destinations
A melt-in-the-mouth global tour of the best chocky treats
Japan, Tenerife, UK, Belgium or Switzerland? Sky Travel's Editor takes a look at where in the world a true chocoholic should be this Easter.
Chocolate.
Not only has my desire for it remained undiminished since I was a child, but my appreciation of its finer qualities has taken on a connoisseur-like obsession.
I was lucky enough to live in Switzerland for several years, and you soon realise just how good the stuff can be.
Indeed, I started hunting out the best of the best when I was there, setting one Confiserie (confectioners) against another in the search for the ultimate choco-fix.

Japan: Chocolate Bath
First, let's get bathing in the stuff.
I don't know who it was that proposed chocolate as skin toner and restorative, but hey, who cares?
You can treat yourself to a Chocolate bath in Kanagawa, Japan as part of the Valentine's Day celebrations.
In a cultural twist, it's Japanese girls who give Japanese boys chocolates on occassions of love. Well, I hope he at least pays for the dinner.
Tenerife & Cyprus: Chocolate Body Wrap
At the Botanico in Tenerife, Belgian chocolate is painted all over the body to open up those pores in a deliciously satisfying manner.
But the technique continues to be refined, dissolving the boundary between food and pleasure.
The Le Meridien Limassol in Cyprus, for instance, do a combination wrap using chocolate with ginger.
All we ask is that you don't attempt to lick yourself clean afterwards; it's just not seemly.
