The services offered in the Chocolate Spa sound tasty indeed, from the "Hot Chocolate Melt Away," a chocolate full body massage using warm stones, to the "Chocolate Wrap Up," in which a chocolate mint scrub exfoliates away dead skin cells and the body is smothered and wrapped with chocolate body butter. 

If chocolate all over sounds a bit too much, Invidia also offers cocoa treats for your hands and feet.
