Whether you’re coming to The Chocolate Expo for the entertainment, the celebrity guests, the fun activities for the kids, or simply because you LOVE chocolate… one of the best parts of the experience is discovering something new!
And yes… sampling is part of the fun! 🙌
What does that mean exactly? Glad you asked!
Many of our vendors offer samples of select products, giving you the chance to explore different chocolates, ingredients and flavor profiles before deciding which ones are coming home with you. And trust us—you may walk in thinking you know your favorite and leave with one… or two… or three new ones! 😋
🌶️ Dark chocolate + chili pepper
🍊 Dark chocolate + orange
🍵 Milk chocolate + matcha
🥓 Chocolate + bacon
🍯 Chocolate + honey
🫚 Chocolate + ginger
And that’s just the beginning!
You’ll meet talented chocolatiers and specialty food makers creating everything from familiar favorites to unexpected combinations, along with chocolates and cacao influenced by flavors and traditions from places like Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and France. 🌎🍫
One of the favorite things about The Chocolate Expo is getting to meet the people behind the products. Ask questions. Learn about the ingredients. Hear how a flavor was created. And when a vendor is offering samples, don’t be afraid to try something you’ve never had before!
Because sometimes the combination that sounds the most unexpected ends up being the one you absolutely LOVE. ❤️
🍫 Taste. Discover. Find your favorites.
That’s all part of the fun at The Chocolate Expo!
