MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Mouthwatering fashions were a feast for the eyes at a New York fashion show. But forget plaids and stripes. Chocolate dominated this runway.
CNN's Jeanne "Chocolate" Moos has a taste.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Why just stuff your face, when you can feast your eyes?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Chocolate bunny, along with a chocolate halter top, garnished with chocolate licorice and even chocolate roses.

MOOS: Every year, they kick off the New York Chocolate Show with a fashion show.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm Candy Rapper.

MOOS: With her chocolate boom box and bling-bling made out of chocolate covered in gold dust. The crowd gasped at an outfit inspired by "The Little Shop of Horrors." The designer chefs appeared with their creations.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Wow.

MOOS: But even the classiest of confections came trimmed with...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Whoppers.

MOOS: The bunny in a bustier had a chocolate tail and even chocolate footwear.

(on camera): Can I touch your shoes?

(voice-over): There were chocolate hats and chocolate hair. Instead of a box of chocolates, boxers were accessorized with chocolate, Joe Boxers worn with what looked like peanut butter cups.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They're cups of a different sort.

MOOS: The crowd went gaga over this '60s-inspired number. And any pregnant woman who's ever craved chocolate will appreciate the maternity swimsuit. You put chocolate on hot models and, naturally, it does what M&Ms don't.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.

MOOS (on camera): Yes, well, it's melting on your chest.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Melting on my little (INAUDIBLE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here's these women that haven't eaten a cheeseburger in 10 years and they're wrapped in the stuff they would never dare ingest.

MOOS (voice-over): Who says brides have to wear white?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

MOOS (on camera): Calories! Calories! Calories!

(voice-over): Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.
