Chocolate Butter and Chocolate Rolls Await You at This Illinois Restaurant Devoted to Chocolate

Chocolate lovers get ready, your ultimate chocolate experience is 90 minutes away. 

I had a packed weekend from start to finish and I could write about ten stories about all the fun I had, fun the restaurant we went to for my sister-in-law's birthday took the cake, literally.

Did you know there's a restaurant devoted to chocolate in Gurnee, Illinois?

The Chocolate Sanctuary is minutes away from Six Flags Great America, we could see the roller coasters out the window and I highly recommend you take your most chocolate-loving friend for a visit.

Let's start with the chocolate butter. It was AMAZING.

It was paired with regular white bread and also a chocolate bread that was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. I ate it too quickly to take a picture... sorry.

But I did snap a pic of my Espresso Martini, which was packed with chocolate, too.

So I clearly should've ordered the chopped salad, because doesn't that sound incredible? But I didn't, I stuck with a non chocolate Caesar salad and an incredible side of Brussel sprouts and candied bacon, I blame my order on the fact that we were in the middle of a double surprise party and I didn't read it too much before ordering.

Aside from the chopped salad, you'll find chocolate in the Cocoa Spiced Butternut Squash Soup and you know what, everything but the Caesar salad. I need to go back this weekend...

We didn't leave without dessert and that chocolate frosting on the chocolate cake was SO GOOD. It's called 'Slice of Heaven,' and it was.

Have you ever been to a place like this?
