The words “naked” and “chocolate” bring up some painful memories.

Like the moment you realized that too much of the latter makes for an unfortunate view of the former. And a little incident with a paintbrush, a pot of cocoa body paint, and some scarily soiled sheets.

Time to replace such unsavory remembrances with a new association: Naked Chocolate Cafe, a new joint venture from Tom Block, co-creator of Thomas Sweet Ice Cream, and his daughter, Sara Block.

The stylish shop serves a wide variety of chocolates and desserts handmade on the premises. Sit down and sip a hot or frozen drinking chocolate, pop a freshly whipped buttercream truffle, or nibble on “heart-healthy” dark chocolate piped with antioxidant blueberry, pomegranate, and green tea. Lots of baked goods on the menu, too.

Which makes “naked” and “chocolate” seem like a pretty exciting combo.

But please. Try to keep your shirt on.

Naked Chocolate Cafe, 1317 Walnut Street (215-735-7310 or nakedchocolatecafe.com).
