When I heard of the chocolate show that is hosted in Chicago<\/a>, I had to go check it out. What girl doesn’t like chocolate! It is held at Navy Pier and this is where many vendors come to showcase their goodies, from chocolate to wines to \u00a0sculptures, this show was great to indulge in. The best part is that you get to sample different vendor’s chocolate and if you like them, they are available for purchase. Here are some of my favorites and as you can see, there is all sorts of great talent.<\/p>\n

\"Decorated<\/a>

Decorated Cakes<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Sugar<\/a>

Sugar & Chocolate Sculptures<\/p><\/div>\n

This was the best sculpture in my opinion. The creator said it took her nine hours to make. You definitely need patience for this art.<\/p>\n

\"Made<\/a>

Made Entirely of Buttercream<\/p><\/div>\n

At the event, they weren’t shy about putting chocolate on everything and anything. There was even chocolate bacon which sounded delicious but didn’t get to try it.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a>

Chocolate Covered Everything<\/p><\/div>\n

Another favorite part was sampling the different chocolate wines and vodkas. This definitely make the festival more fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
