No matter the question, chocolate is always the answer!

Who doesn’t either love or know someone who is in love with chocolate? What would life be without the brown, silky and creamy or dark and charismatic delectable friend? 

Someone once said, “No matter the question, chocolate is always the answer!” I tend to agree. 

Chocolate is comfort food at its best... a warm and delicious little cuddle when we need it… a tasty act of defiance when we are told we really shouldn’t.  The fact is that chocolate contains so many delightful and healthy substances that light up our tastebuds and fire off the dopamine in our brains.  What’s not to like? Quality chocolate is full of vitamin E to soften our skin and help us to maintain our physical health. It is loaded with antioxidants to maintain our youthful activities and brain food to help us focus.

When I say quality, I don’t mean expensive. 

You don’t have to visit a private cocoa estate in Madagascar!

Much of my chocolate of choice can be bought in regular supermarkets. You just have to insure you are choosing chocolate with a high level of cacao, cocoa butter (no replacement oils) and as few chemicals or additives as possible. Quality to me means choosing chocolate that supports both the grower and the earth and today there are thousands of delightful and delicious choices we can make for our health. I would suggest that you discover exactly where your chocolate comes from and then it will be a treat all around.

The people we meet in our chocolate workshops bring such unique and bright energy to each event.  There is not a day or a group that I work with where laughter, camaraderie and playful banter aren’t present. More often than not even the teacher’s silly or substandard examples inform the group that we are able to have a chuckle together and none of us are perfect! In fact, we, as with our chocolates, are just perfect as we are.
