Last weekend I had the supreme fortune to attend the 4th annual Chocolate Ball, which featured a cornucopia of chocolate delights, including mounds of truffles, elegant cookies and cake, and two chocolate fountains. My favourite table was the one set up by LPK's Culinary Groove, a vegan/organic bakery. I sampled one of everything available (photo above) and each delicious treat was better than the last. Highlights of the plate were the gluten free oreo-style cookie and the unbelievably fudgey brownie.
For those in attendance who didn't consider three plates of truffles a proper dinner, there were several savoury items infused with chocolate like pizza with a chocolate crust, filet mignon with chocolate and chili, bacon-wrapped scallops with white chocolate sauce, and spicy noodles with jerk and chocolate seasoning.
