For the Love of Chocolate

Aphrodisiac and Food of the Gods

Did you know that chocolate is actually fermented? That cocoa powder contains some of the same ingredients as nail polish remover? That some people think chocolate is a drug to which people become addicted?

Join Erica Fickeisen, PLU’s Lead Baker, and Justin Lytle, Associate Professor of Chemistry, for a special Valentine’s Day treat. We will explore the science of making and enjoying chocolate. There will even be free chocolate samples for taste testing afterwards.
