Don't miss out on a cocoa massage at The Spa at the Hotel Hershey.

Grab a spoon and dig in for Rezoom's 7 most mouth-watering spa indulgences

Nowadays, there are times when it can be difficult to tell the spa services menu from your lunch menu. Natural ingredients and foods have found their way into some of the most luxurious skin and body treatments around. Why not whet your appetite for pampering with a little "sample" from the list below?

1. The Spa at the Hotel Hershey
Hershey Park, Pennsylvania

Hershey Park certainly isn't just for children anymore. While the amusement park and "streets of candy" might bring the juvenile to mind, there are plenty of more "mature" ways to have fun with chocolate. The Spa at the Hotel Hershey has added chocolate to everything from your massage to hydrotherapy treatments. The price of a cocoa massage runs from $50 for twenty minutes to $150 for eighty, and the body scrubs are flavored with a variety of yummy treats from chocolate to strawberry parfait ($60). The true chocoholic will probably have trouble avoiding the temptation of a chocolate fondue body wrap ($105).

2. The Broadmoor Spa
Colorado Springs, Colorado

Should you want to treat the little one in your life to the same kind of pampering, The Broadmoor Spa at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado offers a chocolate manicure and pedicure for children ten and under. But, even though the treatment is kid-sized, the price isn't. This mani/pedi will cost you $65.00 for about an hour.

3. Bliss Spas
New York, Chicago and More

For a "healthier approach," you might want to visit Bliss, a popular and somewhat trendy chain of spas located in six different cities. How about a carrot and sesame body buff in New York ($165 for 90 minutes) or a hot milk and almond pedicure in San Francisco ($65)?

4. The Spa at the Breakers
Palm Beach, Florida

In Palm Beach, Florida, you can have a little taste of the tropics with a honey papaya smoothing scrub or pomegranate salt glow at The Spa at the Breakers. You can also take the relaxation of a bubble bath to new heights with a fifty minute treatment that involves bathing in a warm tub of flowers and fruit extracts followed by an upper body massage.

5. The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Sonoma, California

Sonoma, California may be known for its wine, but the Pinot Noir certainly isn't the only reason to spend some time in this former mission town. The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa offers guests unique Flotation Treatments that involve "being suspended in a cocoon-like environment." With a Vanilla Float Flotation ($119 for 50 minutes), you'll be exfoliated, moisturized, massaged and nourished with the very treat from with the indulgence draws its name.

6. La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa
Santa Fe, New Mexico

La Posada in New Mexico takes its cues from the culture and history of the Southwest. Here, you'll find exotic twists on some of the most luxurious body treatments – a deep tissue massage is known as Rolling Thunder while the more traditional Swedish-style massage is called Flowing Water. But, it's the chocolate chile wrap ($125 for 50 minutes) that should engage all your senses and leave your skin glowing.

7. The Four Seasons
Chicago, Illinois

And, should all of this pampering with some of the world's tastiest treats leave your stomach rumbling, a perle de caviar facial at The Four Seasons in Chicago is a luxury treatment that ends with an actual snack. After giving your skin one of the world's great delicacies, a glass of champagne and your own caviar canape will be waiting.
