Chocolate Masterclass - "Love, Sex, Murder and Madness" The Romance of Chocolate - Saturday February 15th at 1:00 pm

This special Valentine's class will focus on the romantic history of chocolate through the ages. Is it really an aphrodisiac? Why do we pack bon-bons in heart shaped boxes? Why were Spanish colonial women forbidden from eating chocolate? Could you really purchase a wife if you had enough cacao beans? The past 600 years of cacao history are packed with fascinating, crazy stories, many with a very "intimate" side. In addition to the history lesson we will taste some of the most romantic bars on the planet. Bring a date!
