Iron Chef Chocolate

One of my favorite activities ever! We came, we talked, and we ate chocolate. We had a few great classes on making your own hot chocolate, using different kinds of sweeteners, and Chocolate 101. Thanks to all the great teachers. The over-all winner of the night was a tie between Allie Bowcutt, and an anonymous entry( I'll give you a hint, HE really shouldn't have been allowed to enter. Good Jobs guys! Here are some pictures of the other winners of the evening. Thanks for everyone who entered. Yes, Allie Bowcutt is all that and a bag of chips.

Alli Jessops, cake turn your head for the best angle :)
