Chocolate
Chocolate Chocolate Company won the award for Best Dark Chocolate in
St. Louis at the first annual St. Louis Chocolate Challenge charity
sponsored by the Carney’s Kids Charity. Chocolate Chocolate
Chocolate Company also received second place, by just 2 points, for
Best Milk Chocolate in St. Louis.
On Saturday,
November 17th, 2007 Carney’s Kids held the first annual
chocolate challenge at West County Mall with the top chocolatiers in
St. Louis. Each company supplied a sample of milk and dark
chocolate in a blind taste test for hundreds of chocolate lovers to
sample. Visitors who paid $5.00 could come in and receive a plate
of all of the different solid milk and dark chocolate samples. Each
sample was in a colored cup so the identity of the company was
anonymous. The chocolate companies had booths setup for the guests
to get information about all the chocolate companies in St. Louis
and try additional samples of chocolate. The event lasted from 11-4
next to Santa Clause display outside Macy’s.
The chocolate
challenge helped Carney’s Kids raised thousands of dollars for
The Saint
Louis Crisis Nursery, Half the Sky Foundation, Special Needs
Advocate for Parents, Delta Gamma Center, Litzinger School and
Rainbows for Kids. Everyone who participated in the first Chocolate
Challenge left with a lot of chocolate and a smile on their face.
ABOUT
CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE COMPANY:
Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company began manufacturing premium
hand made chocolates in 1981. Prior to the company's opening,
founder Dan Abel spent over a decade training with the finest candy
makers in the world. His apprenticeship taught him everything there
is to know about making premium chocolates in small batches. Some
of the recipes used today come from old time candy makers dating
back to 1904.
The original candy kitchen is still in operation today at the
headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. Although the company has grown
from one location to over a dozen retail stores, the same time
honored methods of old fashioned candy making are still in place.
Copper kettles mix the creamy centers that are then cut by hand
after sitting on a chilling table. The centers are then enrobed by
our meticulous candy makers, who inspect each piece before it leaves
the candy kitchen. Most importantly, the chocolates consumed by
customers are usually made the day they were purchased. There is
nothing like a piece of chocolate the day it was made.
