So in anticipation of all the chocolate goodness to come, like idiots we started the day with Monkey Bread because we weren't going to have enough sugar in our systems ...
When we were preparing it Saturday night, Hubby had a great idea. Instead of just cutting the rolls in half as it says in the directions, we cut them into fourths. This way, the pieces of bread you pull apart are much smaller and there are a lot more cracks and crevices for the gooey caramely stuff to slide into. So smaller pieces of rolls equals better Monkey Bread.
Now on to Glendale for The Chocolate Affaire. Did I mention that you can smell chocolate wafting through the air??? Check out this huge copper pot of fudge being stirred ...
There were also great booths of crafty items that we perused and made a few purchases from ...
Beautiful bags and gorgeous Italian glass necklaces ... and, yes, the dude is wearing a funky little hat. We didn't ask.
Lots of chocolate booths. We, of course, had Indian fry bread with beans and cheese for lunch with homemade root beer, then chocolate covered strawberries, caramel apples and dark chocolate covered cheesecake ON A STICK that was truly delicious.
There were rides ...
Here are the Granddaughter and Youngest Daughter in giant balls rolling around ...
It was a gorgeous sunny day with a little breeze -- perfect for being outdoors ...
After 4 hours of chocolate fun, we headed for home to eat a big pot of chicken chili and a pan of fresh-baked rolls while watching the Super Bowl.
There's only one thing left to say ...
Peace Love Chocolate!
