National Chocolate Week in the UK

This week is national Chocolate Week, a national food week that I am going to celebrate in a big way. Throughout the UK there will be events from the country's best chocolatiers and chocolate shops, there will even be chocolate beauty treatments on offer.

One major highlight of the festivities will be Chocolate Unwrapped, a consumer show dedicated exclusively to this delicious subject.

As eating chocolate is thought to make you happy - it contains phenylephylamine which is the same hormone the brain triggers when you fall in love - surely there's no better place to be this weekend!

If you can't make it to London, check out the event's website as there may be an event near to you. If not you can always stay home and cook up some chocolate goodies.
