Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:17:36 +0000

Jump to: Reviews Chocolate is a powerful food—so powerful it that it sparked the War of 1812, and maintains a powerful yet secret lobbying presence in the nation’s capital. Show your respect for chocolate by getting today’s side deal for a $45 admission to a Chocolate Truffle Workshop at Taste of Chocolate , an $88 value. Get to the bottom of the mystery that is chocolate. This workshop will not only teach you all about chocolate, but also how it is made. Witness the process of how chocolate gets from bean to bar, and eat large quantities of it along the way. When you’re done, you’ll leave with 35 to 50 truffles of your own making—an excellent addition to any Christmas stocking or festive bomb shelter. Chocolate is the great unifier, so buy a few Groupons and take a date or bring your friends.
