CHOCOLATE PARTIES AND THE PAST

Chocolate Parties bring back the commune in community.

Remember helping make the punch for the party and focusing your eyes on the cookies with anticipation of the moment you get to dip one in the punch? I do. I was raised in the seventies when you and your family were at least aware of all of the names of your neighbors. People watched out for each other and the sidwalk was the runway for children to take off into their land of imagination........

Even though I am a very private person, I miss the days of community. Melange Sucre chocolate parties are a way to rebuild a sense of community by meeting the neighbors around you and celebrating with chocolate. How could anyone not want to participate? The parties will provide not only a social environment, but an educational one as well and hopefully introduce a neighborhood to each other.

Melange Sucre chocolate parties will be a way to have fun tasting and learning about chocolate and eventually making your own! How cool would it be to give chocolate creations as gifts or even selling them to make money for a local charity. Remember the "bake sale" at school? I hope to create the Tupperware party of this decade for a new familial society.
