Introduction of Cacao

First recipe: Angel Nuggets

Volunteer for making Angel Nuggets. Coincidentally, she happens to be my ex-colleague's girlfriend!

The Angel Nuggets - nice, but I don't like the whatever seed mix in there! 

2nd recipe: Hot Chocolate

Personally, I find the cacao powder too little & too much milk.. Not chocolaty enough & too sweet for hot chocolate

Then they go on to intro all the organic ingredients you need to make all the 4 recipes! 

3rd recipe: Chocolate Ice Cream

yirks.. I don't like cos too banana-ly! Seriously, I can't take banana cos it makes me constipate! 

**side track a bit: Everyone has been telling me "no, banana helps u to relieve, not constipate" ..

but, "yes, banana can cause constipation!"

anyway, back to the class... ...

Last recipe: Chocolate Mousse

looks abit yucky huh? cos of the Avocados...  try this recipe only if you like avocado! 

**Honestly, I find this chocolate making session a waste of time cos the actual live demonstration is only 30 mins or less, but the introduction of other stuffs takes up the other 2.5hrs! Luckily it's only $25, else I would have bang my head against the wall!
