The first chocolate bar was invented in 1847 by Joseph Fry.  Today chocolate comes in classic milk, dark, white and the rare blond chocolate.  It seems only appropriate to honor this healthful snack with a full blown Chocolate Festival Halloween weekend in Binghamton!

In it's 4th year, the Chocolate Festival is Sunday November 1st at the Doubletree by Hilton in the Grand Ballroom from 1-4pm. Tickets are $10 at the door and will get you sample after sample of your favorite chocolates and desserts.

Come out and enjoy 15 chocolatiers as they let you taste everything that is great about chocolate.  There will also be a number of restaurants and caterers to show off theeir chocolate delights.

All proceeds will benefit the Addiction Center of Broome County.  This is a major fundraiser for ACBC and I can't think of a better way to raise funds than with chocolate.
