Chocolate Heaven

The weekend before Valentine's Day, Rich and I went to the Chocolate Lover's Festival in Fairfax, VA. There are events all over town, but we just made it to two.


A Taste of Chocolate was held in the Old Town Hall and it was wall-to-wall people. There were hundreds of chocolate items to sample made by area confectioners. There were cakes, brownies, fudge, cookies, candies, truffles, ice cream. The chocolate fountains made my mouth water just watching people dip fruit and pound cake in them. There were so many things to choose from that after a while I was on sensory overload and couldn't even choose anymore.


We then headed over to the City Hall Atrium where they held the Chocolate Challenge competition, chocolate cakes and sculptures with categories for professionals as well as amateurs. I really loved this cute purse with the lipstick.
