Most memorable chocolate experience:
Was as a child watching my mother in the kitchen making confections out of confectioners coating. It was then I knew creating chocolat, confections and pastries was not only for large, big name corporations but for anyone willing to invest the time and labor of love.
My favorite chocolate is:
My caramel milk chocolat with butter toffee and pecans

After much making and tasting I have decided the Peruvian bean is not for me. Yes it makes Chocolat. The Chocolat is not bad but the Chocolat it makes is tart and fruity.
