When the taste buds are involved, chocolate can be a lot sweeter than a kiss. However, when emotions are involved a kiss ranks higher than even the sweetest piece of chocolate. However, studies have shown that melting some chocolate in your mouth results in more brain activity than kisses. Based on these results it could be better to give your loved ones chocolate gift baskets, rather than kisses.

20 something year old British couples were subjects in the study. The study measured the emotions released from melting chocolate on the mouth and a passionate kiss on the lips. The scientists used electrodes to measure the heart rate and brain activity of the subjects as they were given chocolate treats containing 60% cocoa.

The results were recorded. And then the same treatment was done but this time, the readings were taken while they were kissing. The results were very interesting. The chocolate defeated the kiss with a great lead. The sweets from the chocolate gift baskets sustained a heightened sense of excitement four times greater and longer than kissing. In fact, while melting the chocolates in their mouth, the resting heart rate of 60 bpm of the couples increased dramatically to 140 bpm. The brain also received a more intense stimulus from chocolate than what it received from the kiss.

We all know that chocolate gift baskets have always been one of the most favorite gifts for a loved one, but it is just so intriguing to know that chocolates are even better than kissing. Researchers attributed this stimulating effect to the substances present in your ordinary chocolate gift baskets.

Substances, such as phenyl ethylamine, are responsible for the rise in endorphins which are actually the pleasure hormones of the brain. Chocolates also contain caffeine, a powerful stimulant. Theo bromine, another substance abundant in cocoa, also causes mood-elevating effects. Furthermore, serotonin, the happy neurotransmitter, also increases. This is due to tryptophan, a serotonin precursor, abundant in chocolates.

The study also found that the best way to enjoy chocolates is to allow the chocolate to melt in your mouth and enjoy the taste on your tongue as if it were a fine wine. You may be able to attain a longer and deeper bliss than that experienced by the subjects in the study.

As a side note, please remember that although it is fine to eat chocolates regularly, they like all things should be enjoyed in moderation.

Now that you know that chocolate gift baskets can provide more stimulus than a passionate kiss, I would not be so quick to replace chocolates for the kisses anytime soon. Because a simple kiss is best when showing your love to your partner, but keep the chocolates close at hand to add a dash of spice and excitement to your romance.
