36 Chocolate Somethings’ in Chennai for the Ultimate Chocolate Crawl
Tall, dark and handsome shakes, fudgy brownies, sizzling hot fudge sauce and the thickest shakes you can dream of.
We just had to. We had to go out there find the best chocolate in the city and put it on an extra-long list, layer it with mouth watering images and make you go gaga for chocolate as you’re sitting at your non-chocolate-involving job.
These are in no particular order- we can’t judge chocolate- so sue us.
