This is what we did yesterday.
We had a class in chocolate making. They taught us the techniques for making filled chocolates, chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, pretzels and truffles. Then they let us play with chocolate for an hour!
Remember the classic Lucy episode when she and Ethel are working the conveyer belt in the chocolate factory? The machine at this shop is lovingly called Lucy. They promised us it wouldn't speed up as we were "enrobing" our creations.
Naked Nutter Butters go in.
They come out dressed in chocolate, then go into the dryer for 7 minutes.
We each got to make a pound of chocolate. Mine only weighed in at 3/4 of a pound so I was told to pick another 1/4 pound out of the display cases.
Her chocolate above. My chocolate below, except for the small square truffles I picked out of the case.
The shop has names for all the chocolate in their display cases.
L to R- meet John Lemmon, Rush Lime-baugh and Mint Eastwood.

That t-shirt? SO SWEET!
Oh Lord - NO bad pun intended. Sheesh.
Oh man, that looks and sounds so fun!
That looks like the best thing I've seen in a long time. I never was that much into the sorority thing but suddenly I'm thinking I missed out.
I have never wanted to be a sorority girl so bad before. Well, maybe that's not true, but this time in regards to the chocolate.
During my failed tenure as a sorority girl, we never did anything for our mothers. We mostly just asked them for money. Maybe that's why it was such a failure for me.
That looks like so much fun!
What an awesome day--and cute shirts to boot!
That's a sorority function I could get behind!
