Chef Joe here,

Yesterday's chocolate 101 at Greenmead Historical Park was another successful sold out event. This one was special as we focused on chocolate made in Hawaii. I am very grateful that I can continue and educate people my passion for chocolate. I really appreciate all the kind words and support you all give. Good things will continue one and I will be excited to share more good news in the future.

Once again, thank you everyone.

Hey everyone Chef Joe here.
I'm currently on the beautiful island of Kaua'i and will be at the Kaua'i Chocolate and Coffee festival. I will be here and on the Big Island for a week, but I have plenty of bon bons and bean to bar chocolate bars already made before the trip and you all can still order to get your favorite chocolate creations.
In the meantime Mahalo for all the support and see you all soon.
Aloha.
