Our sweet (pun intended) group of au pairs arrived ready to tour and eat our way through Theo Chocolate last Sunday. Despite the hairnets, it was a delight to learn the chocolate making process and do it with a group of wonderful young women. Then we got to sit by the fire for 1:1 chats about how the year was going and ways to cope through the winter doldrums….we can all agree, chocolate helps…
Our multi-national group traveled to the funky Fremont neighborhood to have some month-appropriate samples of the good stuff made at Theo Chocolate. We enjoyed nibs, 45% milk, 75% dark, and tossed a few caramels back for good measure. The tour was very informative with a most fun guide and he too enjoyed our diversity! Although Brazil was the only country where some cocoa beans came from for Theo and APIA also represented, the ladies all represented their countries with great class and personality. I was happy to be amongst sweets with all the APIA smiling sweets.
