-Begin by snapping the chocolate in half. Inhale and ponder the aromas you can sense: cocoa, vanilla, smoke, malt, etc.

-Let the first bite be small to “warm up” the tongue, which can taste only sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Some chocolates can hit all four tastes.

-The second bite is the one that counts. Suck on the chocolate and feel how it melts, sense the texture (grainy or smooth?). Is it sweet or dry?

-Don’t rush on to the next bit. Enjoy the aftertaste—good chocolate will offer new and subtle flavors after a few seconds.

-Whether eating truffles or bars, always start with softer flavors and move slowly up to stronger varieties.

-Don’t ever eat more than four or five different kinds of chocolate at a time. You will overwhelm your sense of taste and ruin the experience.

-For very rich chocolates or truffles, don’t taste more than two in one sitting.

-Cleanse your palate with water before and in between each new variety that you taste (not in between bites).

yep...especially taking a small piece of dark chocolate, you have to melt it slowly in your mouth...giving time ma absorbs also ng brain natin yun PEA/phenylethylamine that we get sa chocolate thus enhances the release of chemicals in our brain like dopamine, norepinephrine na pwede maka induce ng happy mode ika nga :)

I don't quite know if it's because of the lovely evening I had but this sure sounds a lot like foreplay.  laffman::
