==Description==

The Chocolate Hills form a rolling terrain of haycock hills – mounds of a generally conical and almost symmetrical shape.〔(Bohol: The Jewel Paradise of the Philippine Islands ) www.bohol.net Retrieved 15 November 2006.〕 Estimated to be from 1,268 to about 1,776 individual mounds, these cone-shaped or dome-shaped hills are actually made of grass-covered limestone. The domes vary in sizes from high with the largest being in height. Bohol's "main attraction", these unique mound-shaped hills are scattered by the hundreds throughout the towns of Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan in Bohol.〔(Bohol ) www.dotpcvc.gov.ph Retrieved 15 November 2006.〕
During the dry season, the grass-covered hills dry up and turn chocolate brown. This transforms the area into seemingly endless rows of "chocolate kisses". The branded confection is the inspiration behind the name, Chocolate Hills.〔(Chocolate Hills Natural Monument ) UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Retrieved 14 November 2006.〕
