There are few foods that people feel as passionate about -- a
passion that goes beyond a love for the "sweetness" of most candies
or desserts: after all, few people crave caramel, whipped cream,
or bubble gum. Chocolate is, well, different. For the true chocoholic,
just thinking about chocolate can evoke a pleasurable response.
You may want to grab a bar or make a nice cup of hot cocoa before
you begin exploring here.

This
special online-only edition of Exploring takes a closer look
at the sweet lure of chocolate. We'll examine the fascinating
-- and often misreported -- history of chocolate, follow the
chocolate-making process, and take an online visit to a chocolate
factory. We'll also look at the science of chocolate, and
find out about the latest research into the possible health
effects of its consumption. Lastly, we'll explore the somewhat
controversial question of why chocolate make us feel so good.
