Air date: Jan 25, 2007

It's the most popular flavour in the world and as CHOCOLATE CONFIDENTIAL reveals, the lengths to which some people will go to pursue their passion for chocolate are amazing. Some would say that chocolate rivals sex as a universal obsession. You can drink it, eat it, it's good for your heart and can even be a beauty tool -chocolate is a billion dollar industry. According to the documentary, the average North American consumes 11.7 pounds of chocolate each yearùa low statistic considering the Swiss gobble up to 22.3 pounds each. CHOCOLATE CONFIDENTIAL includes an interview with Chloe Doutre-Roussel, the so-called 'chocolate angel' who eats pounds each day and travels all over the world to find the perfect cocoa bean. Even New York cosmetic mogul Bobbi Brown has jumped on the chocolate bandwagon, launching a new line of cocoa-hued makeup. From the artistry of high-end chocolate-makers in Paris to the cocoa bean plantations in the Caribbean, CHOCOLATE CONFIDENTIAL travels the world, offering delectable insider information.
