On the eve of Valentine's Day, Jon Payson and Naomi Josepher opened their brown doors to anxious addicts roaming Fifth Avenue in search of...SUGAR! Although that was two years ago, the husband and wife duo continue delighting Brooklynites in their Park Slope café, The Chocolate Room, where everything, including beer and popcorn, contains the sweet, oozing morsels that'll intoxicate you enough to lick the bowls bone dry.

The Chocolate Room, petite in size, bears exposed bricks aligned with brownie brown and cake batter walls. Around are praline wooden chairs and green mint marble tables. The bar, located on the opposite side of the room, is luminous ruby, like red velvet cake with windows overlooking a not-so-secret garden. Guests happily sip on Brooklyn's own crisp, light lager as Frank Sinatra croons behind a hidden speaker. Up front is a glass display revealing delicately wrapped ganaches made by famed European chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt of Denmark. These little handcrafted treats, commonly made with heavy cream, butter, sugar and chocolate, also include unusual ingredients. The heart-shaped Antoinette is made with rosewater and the passion fruit flavored La Femme is molded white chocolate dusted with edible gold. However, why gorge on palm-sized candy when creamy butterscotch, fresh brownies and booze await you at the table?

Be prepared for The Chocolate Room's complimentary sample scoops of Valrhona sorbet. This delicious dessert contains thick, silky textures with bursting, flavors of lightly sweetened chocolate that doesn't dry your mouth. You'll be quickly tempted to order the warm Brownie Sundae ($7.50) with drizzling fudge, whipped cream and a black rum-tasting cherry on top. A cooler choice would be the Not Hot ($5.50), an icy-cold hot chocolate that's more accessible than Serendipity's in Manhattan. Lovers will appreciate the elegant Chocolate Fondue for two ($13.00), which has 60% Belgium chocolate, ripe fruit, soft pound cake and marshmallows. Save the best for last and order a slice of their award-winning Chocolate Layer Cake ($5.50), a moist, fudge-coated masterpiece that slowly melts on your tongue, but quickly fills your belly with euphoria. Leisurely wash it down with the beloved Bonny Doon Framboise ($7.50), a syrupy, sweet wine with a slight raspberry scent.

Chocoholics of New York City must make a pilgrimage to The Chocolate Room and catch up on all the latest city gossip with friends over drinks and sweets. If rehab is for quitters, then chug all the chocolate stout you want without ever admitting you have a problem.
