SWEET APHRODISIACS...

Many sweets are considered strong aphrodisiacs. Chocolate was once thought so powerful that it was forbidden to proper young ladies. Chocolate covered mints are double aphrodisiacs. Mint as an aphrodisiac? You bet! The ancient Greeks, specifically Aristotle, advised Alexander the Great not to allow his soldiers to drink mint tea during campaigns because he believed it to be an aphrodisiac. So here's my advice: Get out a great big bowl and fill it with chocolate covered mints. Ummmm...if it were my choice, I'd give my special someone dark chocolate covered mints, but hey - it's entirely up to you, as long as you combine the chocolate and the mint. And remember, I've heard that you shouldn't put the chocolate covered mints in a crystal bowl because crystal aides in clear thinking. You don't want to inspire clear thinking, you want to inspire sensual thinking. So, no crystal, please. And...have a great time.
