So this evening I decided to type into Google the words “utah” and “chocolate” and see what it would come up to review.

The top listing was a link to the Utah Chocolate Show. I hadn’t heard that we had a chocolate show in our fair state, so I investigated further. The Utah Chocolate Show is the brainchild of Melanie Henderson. She concocted the idea over the summer of 2003 and convinced her two sisters, Annette and Michelle, to join her in the venture. The website says that the show offers the best chocolate Utah has to offer and includes chocolate demonstrations, hands-on classes, and a kids’ area.

It appears as though the show is based off the more famous Chocolate Show held in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Beijing, and other international locales. The Utah version seems like it does lack one of the more interesting parts of it’s older brother - an Annual Gala Fashion Show featuring the unveiling of the Chocolate Fashion Collection. Classic and cutting edge designers collaborated with pastry chefs and chocolatiers to produce wearable chocolate fashion. Cool hu? A review of last years show made me check Orbitz for tickets to New York.

But not all of us can plunk down a few hundred dollars to fly out to NYC and attend the Gala dinner ($200 a plate), so the local Utah Chocolate Show provides a nice alternative to get our chocolate fix.
