Making Chocolate – from Bean to Bar

September 20th, 2010 by Chocaholic

I’m off to New York in December and just found that New York is Number 7 on the top 10 chocolate destinations. The post recommends Jacques Torres as a must see in New York so thought I’d look it up.

Jacques got a great video showing the process he goes through to make his bean to bar chocolate. The shop doesn’t deliver to the UK though so I’ll have to wait until December to try it!

Check the video out below.

The Perfect Gifts for Chocoholics

September 19th, 2010 by Chocaholic

Devilishly Chocolatey Chocolate Gifts

I’ve set up Devilishly Chocolatey to provide a one-stop shop for people searching for the ideal gifts for chocoholics.

The idea for the site came about after searching for chocolate themed gifts for a friend. All the chocolate products I could find were split over numerous sites, many of which I’d never heard of. This was the main reason that I’ve used an Amazon aStore on Devilishly Chocolatey, so you can trust that your orders are in good hands. I’ve just made sure that all of Amazon’s quality chocolate gifts can be found in one place.

I’m a self confessed chocoholic so I’ve searched for a range of chocolate themed gifts including chocolate gift hampers, chocolate books, chocolate gifts, chocolate experiences and more that I know will appeal to everyone from the occasional chocoholic to the dedicated chocoholic.

You can see the full range of chocolate gifts at the Devilishly Chocolatey Shop.
