A person who is addicted to chocolate. While scientists have yet to establish whether chocolate is truly an addictive substance, it is clear that chocolate is the most commonly craved food. The term ‘chocoholic’ is used to express the helplessness some people feel when faced with the desire for chocolate, but to say they are addicted to it may be to overstating the matter. People are merely enthralled by chocolate.

Someone with a great love for, or an inordinate attraction to, chocolates. Chocophiles don’t just buy chocolates, they worship them at the altars of Theobroma; they don’t justunwrap chocolates, they undress them; they don’t just eatchocolates, they have passionate encounters with them; and they don’t just digest chocolates, they allow them to metamorphose irrevocably into poetry.
That chocolate is complex and mysterious is well known to chocophiles, and yet the substance is so simple it can be enjoyed plain. That is, if ever there is such thing as plain chocolate – its expressive potential is perhaps too great to fit into such a simple classification. In categories that include the auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile, thermal, and gustatory, the sheer variety of sensory stimuli means that in terms of sophistication chocolate can easily be compared with fine wine.
