The debut of "The I Love Chocolate Fest" held at the Academy Sports Complex in Farmingdale was a chocolate adventure for everyone to experience. With over 45 local vendors in attendance, this was certainly a perfect opportunity to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Attendees sampled delicious chocolate covered products from Lost Sense, Wild Lizzy's, Brooklyn Dark, and The Chocolate Duck to name a few. Author Stephanie Sorkin was displaying her cute children's book called "Chocolate Shoes With
Licorice Laces" with a recipe of it's namesake at the end of the book.

Besides chocolate, vendors also served exquisite samples including wine, honey, horseradish, and fresh bread. Some of these vendors were Holy Schmitt's, 3Bees Apiary, North Fork Taffy, Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard, Delicious Delights, etc.

There was more than just chocolate at this event, as children and adults for that
matter were able to enjoy face-painting, hula hooping, and meeting the Easter Bunny.

"The I Love Chocolate Fest" was an ideal extravaganza for chocolate lovers to sample and purchase their favorite guilty pleasure. This exciting event also gave vendors the chance to demo their finest items from chocolate to pastries to candles. It was clear to see from the smiles on children's and adult's faces, that this event was a delicious success.
