MMMMM...delicious art

The chocolate 'enrobing' machine - we were tempted to put our mouth under that spigot on the right where the chocolate was pouring down, but we had ample opportunity to try tons of very good quality chocolate without embarrassing ourselves.

So this weekend, good friend Mette had this great idea that we should check out Sweet Lollapalooza. They make Fine Chocolates and I do mean fine!  For about $100 you spend 3 or more hours learning all about chocolate and chocolate making, sampling a TON of delicious chocolate, sipping champagne and even putting your artistic skills to the test.  It is totally worth it and you come away with at least a dozen handmade chocolates that you help create.  Early on you spend time preparing your artistically decorated sheet of chocolate butter that will end up covering your finished pieces.  Lots of great and fascinating information about chocolate is shared, we sampled a fabulous chocolate dessert and generally overdosed on very good chocolate.  I was still full the next morning.  This to me, was even better than wine tasting tours I have been on. Check them out and sign up early, they usually book a month in advance! Yummm!
