Chocolate contains phenylethylamine. This chemical is a stimulant related to amphetamine and is released when people fall in love.
This led to the "Chocolate Theory of Love" after researcher Michael Liebowitz published his 1983 book, The Chemistry of Love. The book stated that chocolate is "loaded with phenylethylamine".
