NEW YORK (AP) - Talk about a chocolate lover's dream.
This weekend is the 12th annual chocolate show in New York -- billed as the world's largest.

There are more than 800 exhibits, including a chocolate book store, where famous chefs are signing chocolate cookbooks.


There's also a chocolate lounge, featuring chocolate flavored liqueurs, coffees and snacks and a chocolate beauty pavilion that features products based on the cocoa bean.


Hakan Martensson has a chocolate carving exhibit. He says it takes anywhere from one hour to a couple of months to carve a chocolate sculpture.


One unusual offering at the show is a weeklong vacation at a lodge in the Belize rain forest, where one can learn to make chocolate.


The chocolate show ends on Sunday.
