Chocolate Connoisseur - The Magazine for Chocolate Lovers
https://www.chocolateconnoisseurmag.com/

In each issue of Chocolate Connoisseur, we’ll show you new ways to appreciate your favorite treat. We’ll bring you into the kitchen with some amazing independent chocolatiers, confectioners who will share their stories, their passion, and even a few of their sweet secrets with you. In Chocolate Connoisseur, you won’t hear us simply touting that chocolate is good. You will discover a cornucopia of chocolate greatness, presented with a down to earth, “we’re with you” kind of attitude. You will uncover all the different ways chocolate can actually be healthy for you (hint: that even goes beyond simply eating it), you’ll feel inspired by bits of chocolate history (like Montezuma’s “divine” chocolate drink in this issue), and you will discover unique chocolates from around the world – all framed with the high quality writing you’ll grow to expect and rely on from Chocolate Connoisseur. In every issue, you’ll even learn not only how to make chocolate, but how to make chocolate better. From truffle recipes, to Cocktails of the Month, to the latest unique chocolate creations, we’ll shine a whole new light on your sweet obsession.

ICYMI: Last month I had the wonderful pleasure of attending a chocolate tasting club here in Phoenix, and let me tell you… I can’t recommend the experience enough.

Regardless of where you are on your chocolate connoisseur journey, I will say it unequivocally right now – there is a place for you at chocolate tastings.

This tasting took place at 's Cafe / Embers Chocolate, and we focused on female chocolate makers, featuring bars from Argencove, Kesshō, Maeve Chocolate, jcoco chocolate, Mission Chocolate and up and coming no sugar chocolate maker Miocene Chocolate here in the Phoenix area as well.
