It's one of the world's favorite nibbles and now chocolate is being used as a beauty treatment.
Therapists in the Tamil Nadu say chocolate has anti-ageing properties and it works wonders when it's smeared on face, feet or just about any where else you care to put it.
This beauty therapy centre in Tamil Nadu has become a chocoholics' paradise.
Clients are getting a taste for the technique of being smeared liberally in the stuff.
And while eating chocolate to excess can have an unwelcome effect on the skin, beauty experts here say external application can work wonders.
Mallika Gautam, beauty expert, said,” We call it chocolate therapy, a treatment if you like. If you it regularly you can get fantastic results."
The secret, the experts say, is in the purported anti-ageing properties of the chocolate.
It's said to be particularly good for conditions like dry skin.
The big question is - what happens to the chocolate once it's been used.
You never know, there could be quite an appetite for recycling.
