Usage Note
Raffoler is always followed by de — you cannot use it with a direct object. The construction raffoler de quelque chose conveys an intense, almost irrational enthusiasm, stronger than aimer beaucoup.
Examples
"Elle raffole du chocolat noir."
Natural Translation
She is crazy about dark chocolate.
