A chocolate craving on Sunday night led us to a chocolate cafe down the street from our apartment called Cacoa Haru. They specialize in hand-made chocolate that's made on-site, which is a rare-find here in Korea. We found an article written about this place on the internet and were really surprised to find it was so close to where we live!

A glass cabinet at the front counter provided us with so many options... including fruit-filled, truffles, nut-filled and regular chocolate varieties. Hmmmm, which to pick? We opted with 2 nut covered chocolates, 1 macadamia nut, and a white chocolate that had a milk chocolate filling inside. All were outstanding! We also both had a delicious cup of hot chocolate to top it off, which left us on the brink of a chocolate overdose!
There are four basic food groups-milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles.

Upstairs were 3 tables and some comfy chairs...we sat here for a while enjoying our chocolates and using their free WiFi (another rarity in Korea).
When it came to choosing the hot chocolate, we had the choice of 52%, 64% or 74%. We tried one of each of the lesser of the three, which were really rich, creamy, and "heavenly."
I don't understand why so many "so called" chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said.
After we got our chocolate fix, we were surprised when they brought us up a bowl of kiwi, bananas, and strawberries on the house.
A visit to Cacoa Haru made for a fun date on a Sunday night. Just remember, chocolate doesn't make the world go around ... but it certainly makes the ride worthwhile!
