Chocolate Affair Winners
Last night was the Chocolate Affair at M&T Bank Stadium to benefit Healthcare for the Homeless.
There was so much chocolate. So delicious. Truffles, cake, pudding, candies, hot chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries, fudge, brownies, ice cream, other sweet desserts like baklava and flavored fortune cookies. After just a few samples, I realized I was so thirsty. Good thing for the water I got with my drink ticket. There was also some savory samples mixed in, like shrimp, bagel pieces and soup which were a nice break from the sweet tastes.
Here’s a list of the winners:
Tastiest Chocolate Treat: Ice cream from Coldstone Creamery
Tastiest Savory Treat: Shrimp from Bonefish Grill
Tastiest Candy: Edible Favors
Best Booth Display: Kali’s Mezze
Best Food Presentation: Hershey Entertainment and Resorts
Most Creative Use of Chocolate as an Ingredient: Sascha’s Catering
Best Beverage: Testimony Teas
Best New Vendor: Sweet Fortunes – flavored fortune cookies
Best Vendor (participating at least 5 years): Chef’s Expressions – chocolate truffle with sea salt for one thing
Wished I had grabbed a few more wrapped candies. At the the time I felt like I couldn’t eat any more chocolate.
