Kylie Minogue, the Australian dance-pop singer-songwriter and occasional actress, is the latest famous figure to be sculpted in chocolate. Minogue is best known for her songs Can’t Get You Out of My Head and Love at First Sight and for her acting role in Moulin Rouge! and in the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

When you eat chocolate, you expect it to really be chocolate, right? Maybe not. The US Food and Drug Administration is considering altering what they consider to be chocolate. They administer a standard that specifies what ingredients need to be present in all chocolate produced in the US. Their proposed changes include allowing vegetable fat […]
Centuries ago chocolate was nothing like what we know it as today. It was not a sweet concoction enjoyed by anybody, but rather a bitter drink used in many ceremonies.
Chocolate originated with the Mayan civilization in South America somewhere between 250 and 900 A.D. They would make a paste from roasted cacao seeds which they […]
I’ve never been one for those so-called “recipes” that just involve putting together a bunch of ready-made ingredients. That is, until I discovered this recipe for chocolate trifle.

This one is from the believe it or not files. A cockatoo named Pippa at the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary in England appears to think she can hatch some chocolate eggs. Pippa was let outside on April 10th, and when she saw a bowl of Cadbury Creme Eggs she immediately went over and sat […]
Now you need to take the idea of chocolate as a health food really seriously. I’ve been telling you that dark chocolate is the healthy stuff, and that your regular milk chocolate bars, though tasty, really don’t have those health benefits. Now Hershey’s is trying to prove me wrong.
They have come out with a line […]
Easter has come and gone but there is one rumour that still persists. The Cadbury Creme Egg that is sold every year between January and Easter is supposedly getting smaller. Is this true?
