Our success is your happy ending
We did a great job at the Bozarth Mansion according to their managers. Not a drop of chocolate anywhere!
Apparently they have had some problems with other chocolate fountains. Let us do the professional job for your wedding, fundraiser or party. You'll be glad you did and your guests will be ecstatic with the treat!

Update
It's been a while since I've been here. MJ's Chocolate Fantasy has been so busy!
The guests of our clients have given us so much praise for the quality of chocolate
flowing through our fountains that we just want to brag a bit. Belgian Callebaut is
our key ingredient. We added cherries (frozen) to our "dipper" repetoire even though they are yet to be in
season. We learn from our custormers. Sharon the bride wanted cherries and by golly we did what we could.
What gracious people we served this past week.
We will be providing the chocolate and equipment for Twigs Bistro this Mother's Day brunch.
South hill and Wandermere bistros both have the special brunch for Mom.

Good News from a German study about benefits of dark chocolate
Well another study, this one by the Germans, touts the health benefits of dark chocolate IN MODERATE AMOUNTS.
Every guest I meet at our events that is a dark chocolate lover seems to enjoy this treat daily but in moderation.
Doctor Zorba Pastor doesnt reccomend eating anything everyday but I think he might agree that dark chocolate can be viewed like red wine and as we all know the Mediterranean diet consists of wine daily.
Take care of your heart and Happy Easter!

More good news about cocoa
We're getting ready for the Taste Spokane fundraiser benefiting Wishing Star Foundation but I wanted to do a quick blog before taking off.
It appears another study has produced more interesting data regarding the health benefits of cocoa.
Appx. 5,000 French women who regularly consume dark chocolate with 35% cocoa were studied over a ten year period and those who ate the most cocoa were less likely to have hemmorage type strokes. Unfortunately only about 20% of all strokes are this type and they arent sure why only the risk of this type of stroke was reduced. Still, it is more scientific data indicating that consuming chocolate CAN be good for you. While one doctor is quoted as saying this is "wishful thinking" we believe that pure, wholesome ingredients from nature are good for us and that includes dark chocolate. So enjoy with moderation!

cacao nib
I can't help but think of the Beverly Hillbillies when I think about the value attached to the cocoa bean.
"....black gold, Texas Tea......" oil.
The ancient Aztecs used the cacao nib for currency and now many Peruvian farmers are realizing the value of growing this rather than coca. It is equally profitable and assures us chocolate lovers of a new source for the wonderful fruit that once roasted and ground is made in to delicious chocolate delicacies.
Talk about a win! win!
While the chocolate of choice for our fountains is Belgian Callebaut we are eager to begin tasting this stuff from Peru.
