Think it's Godiva?

KLAGENFURT, Austria - An Austrian health spa is giving chocolate lovers a chance to take the ultimate plunge.

Bad Eisenkappel, a health spa in the southwestern Austrian province of Carinthia, is drawing visitors with a tasty new "treatment" — a relaxing soak in a tub filled with melted chocolate, Austrian television reported Wednesday.

Nina Sabitzer, a cosmetologist at the spa, told state broadcaster ORF the bubbly brown baths include cocoa butter, which she claims has restorative properties that include helping protect skin from wrinkles.

Although clients are encouraged to splash around in the chocolate, "we don't let them eat any — it's too fattening," she said.

Sounds like a ducks dream.

But they don't let you eat it!

Hershey offers something like that at their resort, I would be found dead floating in a pool of chocolate.

I guess since they say it's cocoa butter and not real chocolate I cannot get too upset. But as someone often recruited to, but never accepted in, Chocoholics Anonymous, I cannot think of a worse thing that to contaminate something so wonderful instead of preparing it for consumption.

If I'm off to a health resort, I want lots of healthy exercise so I can eat to my heart's content lots of divine chocolate creations.
