Chocolate and Cheese was Ween's fourth studio album, originally released by Elektra Records in 1994. It's notable for being the first Ween album to eschew the four-track recordings of their first three albums and utilize a professional recording studio. However, most of the instruments were still played by Dean and Gene Ween, including their drum machine.

Reportedly, the album was a big hit in Japan, mostly due to the provocative album cover (featuring a large-breasted girl wearing a very small t-shirt that nearly exposes her attributes).
