A Week of Chocolate Indulgence
It's CHOCOLATE WEEK!Not that it makes a difference, as truth be told every week can be chocolate week for me. But for this specific 1 week event I exerted "extra" effort to "celebrate" it.
For those who doesn't like chocolate look away now as the pictures are just cocoa overload!
Monday. I prepared myself so I stocked up.

Tuesday. The brownies I made over the weekend was finally saying it's goodbye.
Thursday. My second attempt to this cheesecake. And yep, it's still white chocolate.
Friday. Our tickets arrived.
Sunday. Chocolate Unwrapped. I was literally on my piece of heaven here on earth. Never thought I'd lived to say no to free chocolates in my life. But yep, after 4 hours of unlimited tasting I gave up. One cannot but fall in love to this. it was sensory overload. You breathe, taste, touch, smell and feel chocolate. Clearly it was one of the best 4 hours of my life.
This beauty of a chocolate liqueur will kick you hard at 12 %. Don't be fooled by its dainty look.
One big Chocolate Fossil.
Chocolate Skull and Bones for Halloween.
Chocolate dentures, anyone?
There were demonstrations and we opted to watch the White Chocolate Product Development of Thorntons.
This has red berries on it.
This has lemon jelly inside.
This was our favourite. It has Calamansi-and-other-fruits jelly inside. Philippines was mentioned as calamansi is native to the country.
The next two has a flavor of an Asian fruit but I can't recall the name. The fruit is found in Japan and Korea if I'm not mistaken.
This has a fudge-y texture.
This has apricot flavor. YUM!
There was a truffle making activity but we couldn't wait for it. We had enough.
The stash of the Happy Bunny!
There were chocolate drinks, seeds covered chocolates, cocoa beans, lots and lots of books, spreads, pastries etc.. you name it.
As much as I want to watch my calorie intake (and sugar levels!) this week is just a gaffe. And though the scales will haunt me down after this indulgence I would definitely celebrate again next year. =)
