Ever since I saw a feature on Food Network about the Chocolate Spa at the Hotel Hershey I've been curious about the whole chocolate spa experience. Today an article posted at the Japan Times Online prompted me to do some sniffing around. The article documents the writer's trip to the spa and the cocoa bean scrub she received there and is an interesting and amusing read.

Of course chocolate spas will, if Spa Claudia Aoyama and the Hershey Chocolate Spa are any indication, use cocoa and cocoa butter as opposed to chocolate. That doesn't in any way make them any less attractive. You are going for the spa and some chocolate immersion and when it comes down to it chocolate is really all about the cocoa.

The article and a quick perusal of the Hershey Chocolate Spa site have got my curiosity piqued. I've been thinking about a trip to Hershey and I might just have to consider a trip to the spa there as well. In the end, the way I figure it is this: if spa services are good and chocolate is good then mixing the two has to be spectacular.
