Choosing Fine Chocolate
Chocolate season is upon us! Halloween, Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, Valentine's Day, Easter....there are so many holidays on the horizon where chocolate is part of the tradition! Have you ever wondered what to look for when you're shopping for chocolate or why some chocolate seems expensive compared others? How do you know if you’re buying a high quality fine chocolate? In this Chocolate Masters Hangout, we will be talking about what to look for when you're buying chocolate for your holiday gift-giving. We’ll talk about what distinguishes fine chocolate from other types of chocolate, how to know if a chocolate bar or bonbon is of high quality, and how to find the best fine chocolate for your budget.
