Susan Schwartz returns with "Chocolate American Style"

Chocolate is a universal love - delicious, historic and now recognized as healthy as well!  Two years ago Susan Schwartz led a chocolate tasting and demonstration at the Jenks Center.  That was in the morning.  This year she will return in the evening.  

In this program we will talk a bit about chocolate manufacturing and history, what makes a chocolate bar delicious, and maybe best of all, you will taste various chocolates.  In this way you will lean what chocolate best suits your palate and which chocolates to use in your cooking and baking.  A quick and easy treat or two using chocolate will also be demonstrated, and recipes will be shared so you can use your new expertise at home.
