A fine chocolate is like a fine wine: full flavored, delicately structured, and inadvisable to consume while operating a Segway. Experience both of these worlds while seated with today's Groupon: for $10, you get your choice of $25 worth of chocolates, desserts, small bites, or a wine pairing (up to a $25 value) from The Chocolate Bar at either of its two locations, downtown on Trinity Avenue or in Decatur.
The Chocolate Bar's menu contains a veritable cornucopia of house-made chocolates, dessert plates, small bites, specialty cocktails, and expertly chosen wines. If you opt for the prix-fixe wine flight, you'll get three wines ($12) and your choice of three truffles ($5), three assorted popcorns ($12), or three cheeses ($13) to sample this chocolate cabin's wares. Otherwise, you can branch outward like a curious and hungry poltergeist tree with $25 worth of treats. Turn your palate to a culinary cocktail such as a summery beer float ($6), Leinenkugel's sunset wheat poured over a scoop of orange sherbet. Offset a liquid treat with some solid comestibles, such as smoked sockeye salmon ($10) in truffle and shallot vinaigrette. If you stopped by with a gaggle of friends, sweet-feast on a large dessert plate of peach melba ($8), a treasure trove of almond-vanilla sponge cake, peach sorbet, and raspberry mousse.
Dessert bars combine the best elements of childhood and adult wheeling and dealing into a delicious explosion of tipsyness and sugar highs. Savor the ephemeral sensation among the warm hues of The Chocolate Bar; both locations feature shades of burnt orange and chocolate brown, burnished wood bars, and rotating art from local artists. Resist the urge to make like a Wonka tourist and lick the walls, as it is paint, not magical candy, that makes them appear so delicious. Groupon customers will also receive a one-time 15% discount on private-party booking at the downtown Atlanta location.

Fans of chocolate will no doubt remember, "I'm not legally culpable for my actions when I'm around Cocoa Puffs," the slogan for Cocoa Puffs often yelled by Sonny the bird. Can you match these other famous cereal mascots with their respective slogans?

A. "Follow your nose and if you see something, say something." B. "You'll pry these charms from my cold, dead hands." C. "This is a cereal that tastes like honey!" D. "Sell me your hair." E. " This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." F. "They're mmmmmy skin!"
