When I heard there was a Chocolate festival in Sydney, I knew I NEEDED to be there. I consume disturbing amounts of chocolate every single day so this is PERFECT for me. Unfortunately the actual chocolate festival was small and a bit disappointing, but not to worry, there were plenty of stalls around to pick up the slack. They were spread out all over The Rocks. Although I did question some of the booths, they were selling savoury food, which I'm sure were good, but like what are you doing here? MAKE SPACE FOR THE CHOCOLATE. Maybe my thinking might be slightly excessive but CHOCOLATE. I'm sure you can't tell how passionate I am about chocolate from all the capital letters. I will also warn you, as I'm not a very good blogger, if I could be considered a blogger at all, I don't really know the names of some of these booths. Sorry, guess you'll just have to go next year and try it for yourself.
We stopped at a few booths that I thought worth mentioning. I'll start with my first meal (yes, I'm calling them meals). Double chocolate ice cream, dipped in milk chocolate, coated in chocolate cookie crumble.
Then, we had some cupcakes, pictured above are the Nutella cupcakes, but don't be fooled, we also had a salted caramel cupcake and a Tim Tam cupcake. I will say that the icing was absolutely AMAZING, however, the actual cupcake was a little disappointing.
Last but not least were my chocolate bars, which I have just finished this afternoon. They were by ChocoLab, OHMYGOSH, these chocolate bars are just SOOOO SOOOO GOOD. I will admit they are over priced at $12 a bar, but you know me, chocolate? Worth it. I got the peanut butter and pretzel bar as well as the nutella bar. The peanut butter and pretzel bar is pretty self explanatory, It's just a chocolate bar filled with peanut butter and pretzel pieces, but with the perfect amount of pretzel. The nutella bar, is just YASSS. It's a chocolate bar with a layer of nutella and a wafer in between the nutella and chocolate, but the wafer is perfectly thin and crispy. These are SUPER expensive chocolate bars but I would totally buy them again, not so often, but once in a while to treat myself. I am currently still mourning the loss of those bars, so I'm stuffing my face with toblerone as I write this.
