"Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar in four pieces with your bare hands--and then just eating one piece" - Judith Viorst

If you haven’t already realized it, chocolate is a sure-fire way to a woman’s heart.  It is irresistible to every woman I know (including myself) and is very rarely turned down when offered in any setting.  If you are seeking to impress your favorite female, you could offer the ultimate indulgence and take her for an early Valentine’s celebration at WYES’s 8th annual Chocolate Sunday this weekend on January 31st, 2010 at the UNO Lakefront Arena.

I was lucky enough to attend this incredible event two years ago, and I have been pining to go again since.  Like every year, this year’s list of participants have already have me salivating…who can resist creations from Bittersweet Confections, Blue Frog Chocolates, The Creole Creamery, The Kupcake Factory, Southern Candymakers and more?  Not I.  I will be there with bells on!
