For those obsessed with the happiness, euphoria or calm focus chocolate can bring, they are looking for new and exciting ways to eat it, imbibe it, brag about it, sip it, learn the ancient rites of sacred chocolate by drinking raw cacao, mindful consumption of chocolate while doing yoga, some are even snorting it.
