the chocolate show

i went early this morning with a friend, and we basically ate ourselves jittery with chocolate.
one of the best items was from chocolate santander which is a colombian chocolate brand. these roasted cocao nibs were one of the top items we sampled. yes, good enough to buy.
cholocate santandar cocao nibs, 60g box. $1.25 (i bought several of these, good for gifting)
my friend and i also bought this for ourselves:
chocolate santander roast cocao nibs, 1 kg! $25 (we split it)these cocao nibs are so good. i can't even describe it. you just have to try it for yourself.
the other chocolatier we were impressed with was william dean. wow. this is definitely haut-couture chocolate, peoples. we sampled the pumpkin spice and passion fruit chocolates... not only visually pleasing, but possibly the most delectable little things i've ever tasted in terms of chocolate. yumm-y.
william dean chocolates are based out of florida, but they are also available online.*
planning on ~briefly~ checking out the west village parade tonight. (yes, we are crazy...)
happy hallowe'en!
I'm SO jealous!
