What is a Chocolate Tasting?
Chocolate tasting is a unique date night, dinner party dessert, girls’ night etc. You can go to chocolate tasting events in specialty stores but Kelsey shares how to make a DIY chocolate tasting at home.
It’s a fun way to compare different types of chocolate. You can go as simple as comparing white, milk, and dark chocolate or more complex in comparing different origin chocolates from various craft chocolate bars.
