Chocolate Overload

Chocolate Version of the Flower Clock

     This past weekend, my friend Michelle and I went to a Chocolatier Exhibition in Geneva. There was about twenty-five chocolatiers from around Switzerland and some parts of France. Each chocolatier had a booth with their products, and the best part...samples! Michelle and I had to pace ourselves so we would not go overboard. My favorite chocolatier was Poyet, which is located in Vevey, Switzerland. I enjoyed how they had really different flavors and descriptions of each chocolate. My two favorite chocolates from them were one called Mumbai, which had the flavors of Indian masala tea and mango jelly; the other was called Kundun and it had an infusion of lotus flower and Himalaya salt. From another chocolatier, Honald from Zurich, I had a margarita chocolate that was strong, but interesting. There were also macaroons, but our focus was the chocolate of course!

Chocolate machine...yum!

  1. That sounds intense! Did you need tickets to go? Was there an entrance fee?
    The chocolate art does not look edible.
    I wish I could have gone!
