The San Francisco Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival

The Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival

The festival was crawling with chocolate food lovers (most of the population of San Fran would fall under this category).  The festival had some amazingly good looking chocolate-y treats and I, along with Grace and Kevin, got to eat and admire the creations of some chocolate adventurers.  Here is a little tour:

There was a great ice cream sunda station:

Needless to say, foodies can always find a way to pair anything with wine.  Chocolate is no exception.

Some delicious chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate covered bananas.

Chocolate drizzled shortcake squares. 

The trolley cars of SF.
Grace and I wanted to know how to make these decadent chocolate souffles! yummmm
Tea infused chocolate: The delicate flavors of earl gray, chai, lemon, berry, and orange teas.
Chocolate moon cakes.  A little Chinese influence.
