CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE

 Steve and Mary

Since we attended this event last year we have been looking forward to it's return.  We braved rain, winds and unbelievable crowds to enjoy the work of local Chocolatiers. 

 

 

 

 

  

 South American Cocoa Bean God

 

We think this must be the South American God of the Cocoa Bean.  There were unprocessed Cocoa beans there which I have tried before and tried again.  Processing definitely makes the flavor better.

 

 

 

Artisan at Work

 

 

 

This artist spent a long time getting the various parts of the rabbits exactly where he wanted them.

 

 

 

 

Mary is Sampling

I am trying a sample of one of my favorites--Pave.

 

Chocolate Treats

These look tasty but we didn't buy any.  We did pick up a lot of business cards and know where to find all these wonderful shops.

 

Chocolate Egg

 

 

Not your ordinary chocolate egg.  We were told once in a local shop that "Chocolate is very important to the Swiss".  I'd have to agree.
