Sweetest Chocolate Posts of 2007
2007 brought a few shake-ups to the world of chocolate, probably the biggest being that The Chocolate Manufacturers Association tried to get the FDA to relax rules about what can be called chocolate and allow for the use of artificial fats instead of cocoa butter. Thankfully, that looks to have not passed thanks to sites like DontMessWithOurChocolate.com.
A few posts here at Chocolate Bytes touched on a few issues that were important to a lot of people as well:
~ Hands down the most popular post here this year is still Hershey’s planned move to Mexico [and part two]. A lot of people are outraged, some totally missed the point, and most decided to let Hershey’s know how they feel by not buying anymore Hershey products. The discussion is still ongoing if you want to jump in!
…
~ One of the funnest posts was about a chocolate-swiping squirrel in Finland.
…
~ It’s always nice to read that one of your favorite foods is also healthy and good for you, right?
…
~ My quest for Tim Tams finally came to fruition when a sweet friend sent me some in the mail. Everyone seems to have a favorite way to eat these!
…
~ My post for the then-Home and Dining channel project for Breast Cancer Awareness garnered the attention of a site that condemned us all for being so superficial and for not doing what she thought we should be doing for Breast Cancer Awareness. Who knew a little fun with pink chocolate products could spawn so much outrage? (Regardless, it was a really fun post to put together!)
…
~ A lot of you love of you love your Ritter Sport and had some excellent recommendations on what to try and where to find it! (For which I am still grateful!)

I love this site, extremly imformative with a serious edge on what is happening in the world of chocolate. I thought you might be interested in my YouTube truffle making class. Its fun, and the next one will post on the first week of February.

Montezuma Revenge? I don’t think so.
