OTHER CITIES: 
The Best Chocolate in Toronto

Chocolate has been lauded for its mood-elevating effects and its antioxidant content, and some people even insist that it's better than sex. We're not talking about the overly-sugary convenience store candybar variety of chocolate (a Snickers doesn't satisfy much except for a sugar low).
Here in Toronto, we're really fortunate to have some stellar chocolatiers that provide us with outstanding, melt-in-your-mouth, quality chocolate that really gives us the chocolicious fix we crave.
While blogTO readers nominated many great chocolatiers, the one that reigned supreme in the vote was the amazing Soma Chocolatemaker in the historic Distillery District. Amongst many of their delectables, their Mayan Hot Chocolate (which is spiced with Australian ginger, Madagascar Vanilla, orange peel, chili and other special spices) is out of this world.
Take note of the others, though, as well. You never know when you're going to want/need a quick cocoa buzz, and luckily Toronto has a great selection of places to get your chocolate on.

Quick heads up: you can get Michel Cluizel chocolates (my favorite in the whole wide world) at Chocolate Addict in Kensington. Definitely worth the price.
