We believe that the best way to thank people for their support is to prepare a few batches of chocolate and throw a party. That's why, on April 7th, we threw a chocolate tasting extravaganza at our friend Lorenzo's art studio in Powelton Village. We were amazed at how many people stopped in to say hello, check out the photos and taste some of our chocolates. There were family friends, neighbors, local activists and many young children in attendance. John's Mom even drove down from Connecticut for the event.

We loved hearing the kind words of encouragement our friends had to offer. They gave us new energy to take the next steps along our chocolate adventure. Below are some of the great names everyone came up with for our chocolates..
