(Jul.20.11)
When it comes to indulgences there are always two that top our list: chocolate, and movie marathons. So we’ve matched up five cocoa-filled recipes with five magical chocolate-covered movies. Sit back, relax and prepare for a massive sugar rush.

Chocolat & Brown Sugar Pecan Sweethearts
A dab of French charm, a dash Johnny Depp and pounds and pounds of chocolate…yep, we think the makers of Chocolat got the recipe right on this one. (Oh, and try not to laugh too hard watching Johnny try and pull off an Irish accent.)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory & The S’More Supreme Sundae
While we always love a good Tim Burton and Johnny Depp flick, nothing can top the 1971 version of this classic tale. We still have daydreams about being invited into Wonka's top-secret chocolate room. Scrumpdiddlyumptious bar? Yes please.

Forrest Gump & Marble Cake Pops
With that famous line that went on to become one of the most recognizable quotes of the 1990s, we think it's time to break open a box (of chocolate cake pops) and watch this heart-warming tale again.

Serendipity & Banana Split Ice Pop
After this movie came out, we’re guessing the number of copies of Love in the Time of Cholera with phone numbers written inside went up exponentially. Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack meet, share a Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, and decide to leave their love up to Fate. After a series of chance events (or were they?), our two stars finally cross paths again and live happily ever after.

Like Water For Chocolate & Spicy Hot Chocolate
One of the most heart-breaking love stories of all time is also one of the best (why is that always the case?). Centering around Tita and her powers to make people experience their deepest emotions through cooking — her mole sauce is truly magical — she is the one person in the story who’s forbidden to feel anything at all.
