	Chocolate Hills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chocolate Hills is an unusual geological formation in the island province of Bohol in the Philippines.
		The hills are scattered throughout the municipalities of Carmen, Batuan, and Sagbayan.
		The most accepted theory, and the one that is written on a bronze plaque at an observation hill, is that the hills are eroded formations of a type of marine limestone that sits on top of hardened clay.

		The Chocolate Hills consists of 1,268 haycock and limestone dome-shaped hills with varying heights ranging from 120 to 360 feet.
		Considered as a Philippine National Geological Monument, the hills are named as such due to their mystifying capacity to turn their green grass covers from the rainy season into seemingly endless rows of sugary brown chocolate "kisses" during the peak summer months.
		Because these hills have gained the limelight when visiting Bohol, two of its highest hills have now been developed into resort-like facilities adorned with restaurants, swimming pools, and observation decks to provide one a magnificent view of this majestic landscape.
