just want to say a big thank you to everyone we met at the temple bar chocolate festival on sunday. wouldn't you know that the day they held the chocolate market would be the hottest day of the summer so far! but despite a few melty chocolates the weather certainly lent to the carnival atmosphere of the occasion. it was great to see so many people out enjoying the sunshine and the different offerings from all the irish chocolate makers.
we were suprised by how many people turned up and so apologies for our initial fluster and disorganisation but hopefully we got that under control and anyone who wanted a taste of the chocolates got one. the cocoa bean bars went down a storm, my recommendation for enjoying the lime and black pepper with a glass of chilled chardonnay obviously appealed to a lot of parched chocoholics as it was our best seller.
there were some great suggestions too for the invent a flavour competition, we are currently shortisting our 5 favourite to put to the test in the kitchen before choosing our winner, keep an eye out here for the results of our experiments, thank you to everybody who entered!i know the temple bar cultural trust has already got plans underway for a bigger and better chocolate event next autumn, all i can say is that if it is even a patch on this year's festival it is well worth turning out for.
