Chocolate-Tasting Party

Chocolate-tasting parties provide a learning experience in addition to a tasty good time! Here are a few tips to make your party a sweet success:

  • Research: Do a little background research on how chocolate is made—from bean to bar—so you can inform your guests. Also learn about the nutritional value of chocolate.

  • Variety: Get 10 or 12 of your favorite kinds of chocolates so you have enough variety to compare and contrast.

  • Label: Put labels on each plate of chocolate so guests know what they're biting into.

  • Pretzels: Have pretzels on hand so that guests can cleanse their palates between chocolates.

  • Rating: Create a form or card with a simple rating scale so that guests will have a record of what they liked and disliked (although it's hard to imagine not liking a piece of chocolate).
