	GET YOUR CHOCOLATE FIX "If you haven't discovered Downey 's Chocolates Artisan Chocolate Studio and Café in Laguna Niguel, you'll want to. The upscale boutique and café specializes in handmade Belgium-style chocolates (free of preservatives and additives), and it's a great place to meet for gelato, fresh crepes, fine teas and gourmet coffee...."
	She lives my chocoholic fantasy… Tracey creates delicious, beautiful desserts. "I placed one on my tongue and let it melt, slowly, the taste of fresh raspberries oozes. “That’s my signature chocolate, Raspberry Symphony,” she says as I wipe drool inconspicuously...."
	POST-Haste When Hollywood screenwriters go looking for a good story for the next foodie movie, they should look no farther than Laguna Niguel. They’ll find Tracey Downey-Racen, a serious chocolatier right here in our own back yard. She tells a great story about how she got into the business. The aphrodisiac powers of chocolate have long been discussed, but perhaps it’s time to add caramel. It figured in Tracey’s love life.

	THE NIBBLE - A Serious Belgian Chocolatier In Sunny Laguna Niguel "It's so rewarding to find a fine chocolatier who turns out serious bonbons but also makes homey favorites like turtles, toffee and "big crunchy things" called the BigMouth Collection that are a specialty of the house. We love that the fine chocolate, caramel and centers can be enjoyed without an excess of sugar: everything is in perfect balance, never too sweet. .."
	Get Your Fix at Downey's Chocolates Ahh, yes... A "dangerous" little pleasure, chocolate is loaded with the stimulant Phenylethylamine (PEA - an endogenous neuroamine/antidepressant), and therefore chocolate does it all! What kind of "all"? Well, chocolate increases energy, excites excitement and stimulates sexual arousal and pleasure (you still with us?)! So check out Downey's Chocolates , where you will find every chocolate fix of your dreams. Tracey Downey has created everything... from her Signature Collection of artisan chocolates, to her holiday, wedding and corporate specialities, to her BigMouth Collection of premium chocolates, brittles, toffees and oversized specialty chocolates, dedicated to the memory of her father, Morton Downey Jr. For your deliciously sexy CHOCOLATE preconception purposes, our Downey's Chocolates lucky pick just has to be Tracey's Espresso Almond Turtles. These delights are creamy espresso caramels with jumbo roasted almonds resting gently upon a disk of gourmet dark chocolate, then topped with the finest milk chocolate. Oh my! Chocolate, espresso and nuts... this could be your entire preconception meal. Downey's Chocolates are a luxury experience you won't want to share... or will you!?
