Wow, #Choctoberfest 2015 went by so fast… and I now have hundreds of new chocolate recipes to taste-test.
A special thank you to two groups of people: First, our sponsors… they made this entire event possible! Second, the bloggers who took part by posting their favorite chocolate recipes this past week. Without them, there would be no event.
Today, I wanted to do a quick round-up of all the #Choctoberfest posts…but first, let me mention an extra special chocolate company, the non-profit we’re supporting in conjunction with #Choctoberfest – Rescue Chocolate!
Rescue Chocolate makes delicious vegan candies, and all of their proceeds go toward supporting animal shelters. I ordered a batch of chocolates, and I can tell you first hand that they are yummy. We were especially fond of their Forever Mocha bars.
Okay, onto the recipe round up!
First, here are the recipes from us right here at The PinterTest Kitchen. We had a lot of fun taste-testing for #Choctoberfest 2015:
