The Chocolate Bar

                                     EVENTS                                          

The business ventures of The Chocolate Bar, located in Bucks County, PA are inspired by the joy of chocolate.  How many things do you know in your life, that can create pure bliss. The energy is captivating because it's as complex as a fine wine or a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.  The enjoyment in the blends and history that's infused in the variety of chocolates is as pure as the laughter of a child. 
 
The Mission of The Chocolate Bar is to"Bringing the World of Chocolate to You".

Over the last five years I've learned a lot about the world of chocolate, including baking with dark chocolate.  The journey has been so interesting. There's a pull, like a magnet, for me to continue to learn more and support those who are experts in the Industry.

Each event that is planned, provides a way for you to learn more about the Industry too. Yes, it's about wonderful flavors...and more. As you listen to environmental issues that impact the cocoa plantations, as you understand that the wildlife can become endangered if their habitat is destroyed and about communities that learn to collaborate to manufacture chocolate to improve their standards of living: the flavors will let you travel from the artisans in our community, to other parts of the world. _____________________________________________________________________________

 Come enjoy "The Journey of The Pod".          


Poster Contest

Congratulations to Michele Bedigian. The poster contest was one way The Chocolate Bar introduced "The Journey of the Pod". The journey involved the complexity of growing, harvesting, drying and manufacturing cocoa pods. All of this takes place along the Ivory Coast, Ecuador and other regions of the Rainforest. Each Country, each culture, has different ways of processing the cocoa to create the delights we love. Art often times can tell a story that would take a whole book to tell.

To better understand the process of making chocolate, originating from the bean, go the News About Chocolate tab on this website.

The 2008 "Journey of The Pod" poster will be sold at the Bucks County Chocolate Show. A portion of the proceeds will go to Rainforest Alliance. Michele will recieve and Ipod Shuffle (donated by Solebury Software) tickets to the show and a $50. gift certificate to Utrecht.
