CHOCOLATE SHOW!

Alright, so if anyone doesn't know how ridiculously addicted I am to chocolate, you know now. One could imagine how exciting it would be if a new chocolatier popped up in town or some tasty chocolate was ordered online. No, no, nothing like that, I'm playing with the big kids now and they put on entire shows devoted to chocolate! When I heard about this, it immediately when on my TODO list. Sadly, I missed it last year but it wasn't going to pass me by again! I grabbed a few friends and off we went to the chocolate show spectacular!

Man, what a day! There are samples of all kinds of chocolate all around! I was in chocolate heaven, simply blissful. I tried chocolate truffles, chocolate covered toffee, chocolate infused red wine, chocolate bars from all over the world, earl grey chocolate, dark chocolate peanut butter, more truffles, mint chocolate coffee dipping sticks and much much more.

We stuck around to see a demo of Jacques Torres creating some thanksgiving chocolate treats which consisted of a chocolate turkey, homemade marshmallows in the shape of turkey eggs and white chocolate straw. It was pretty cool!

Here are a few photos from the show but take a look at the rest on flickr:
