How do we get from chocolate beans to those delicious chocolates?  It all starts with hard beans that taste nothing like what we crave when we want something sweet.  

 We will discover how these nondescript beans are transformed into that deliciousness that we crave when we want something sweet.

John Goodhile, chocolatier of Stewart's Chocolates in Holden, will present a most interesting talk, along with sampling, to demonstrate this most interesting process.  There are many steps--you will be surprised!
