EdVenture: It ain’t all about Eddie.

Filed Under cocktails and wine, contest, eat and drink, go, good cause! 




Update: Whoa. This never happens! But, wait, it does! Because it’s random! Random.org chose a random number between one and 50…and it was one. So weird, the Shop Tart had to take a screen shot and show you.

Whoa!

Congratulations, Sandra!

And it isn’t just for children! In October, they hosted the first EdVenture After Dark event, Uncorked, a fun wine tasting for adults only. Did you go? Did you miss it? Well, here’s your chance. On February 7th, EdVenture After Dark will bring you Chocolatology, a tasting extravaganza! What will you find?

  • The Cocoa Cabana. Yum.
  • Dip and Dab Workshop, where you can paint with chocolate and enjoy tasty treat crafting.
  • A master chocolatier, ready to drop some knowledge.
  • The Chocolate Tap Room, where you’ll enjoy artisan chocolates paired with local beers.
  • Music by DJ Magic.
  • Beer! Wine! Dessert!

In case you didn’t notice, this is happening a week before Valentine’s Day, so you can celebrate early or just get pumped up for the big day, which is really all about chocolate. Fun Fact: The Shop Tart and her college room mate used to raid the shelves at the drugstore the day after Valentine’s Day for sale chocolate. You don’t need a man to get all the chocolate.

Yum.

And you might not have to buy a ticket to go to Chocolatology! The Shop Tart has two pairs of tickets to give away. Two lucky readers will get to attend and treat a friend!

Chocolatology!

Tickets are $20 for EdVenture members and $25 for non-members. You can get them here. Or maybe you’ll win a pair!

This giveaway works like the others. To enter, just leave a comment, any comment will do, but the Shop Tart would love to know how you take your chocolate. She likes hers in homemade Magic Shell form. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, February 6th, in the afternoon.

Good luck and don’t forget to tell them you read it on the Shop Tart!

    I like my chocolate dark and bitter. Not that I am bitter, or like bitter men. I’m not sweet either. That’s just the way I like it. I like to let it me melt on my tongue and just hang out on my taste buds, too… Mmmm, I think I need some chocolate now. :)

  2. Elizabeth on January 25th, 2013 6:56 pm

    Chocolate Gelato!!

  3. Kristen on January 25th, 2013 7:32 pm

    Loooooove chocolate!

  4. Abbey on January 25th, 2013 8:21 pm

    I would love to take my man since I have to work on Valentine’s Day! I love chocolate too much, I’m looking into a healthy alternative to my brownie obsession (but have not succeeded). :)

  5. Carolyn on January 25th, 2013 8:37 pm

    I take my chocolate on top of peanut butter!

  6. Katie rector on January 25th, 2013 9:03 pm

    Classic-Hershey’s bar!

  7. nancy gainous on January 25th, 2013 9:22 pm

    Dark & salted. Yum.

  8. Andrea on January 26th, 2013 6:25 am

    I like mine really dark… and a little caramel is never a bad thing!

  9. Lauren on January 26th, 2013 9:18 am

    the darker, the better.

  10. Robyn on January 26th, 2013 11:25 am

    Milk chocolate chocolate is my fav…

  11. Shirra Culp on January 26th, 2013 2:06 pm

    World Class Chocolate ice cream from
    Baskin Robbins – the best! Or, just good old
    fashioned chocolate milk. My favorites!

  12. Sher B. on January 26th, 2013 2:42 pm

    Oh what fun, a girl can never have enough chocolate…

  13. Ashley on January 26th, 2013 3:26 pm

    I would really really love to go!!

    I like Hershey’s hugs (white and milk chocolate swirled) or Hershey’s with almonds :)

  14. Kim on January 26th, 2013 3:45 pm

    Any kind of chocolate except white!

  15. Linda on January 26th, 2013 4:57 pm

    I like dried ginger dipped in dark chocolate or dark chocolate bark with crushed Lemonheads sprinkled throughout. Delish!

  16. Jackie on January 26th, 2013 5:01 pm

    Milk chocolate bar – caramel-filled. Preferably Ghirardelli.

  17. Joan on January 26th, 2013 6:24 pm

    I like chocolate (any kind) with kaluah!! Would love a pair of tickets.

  18. Derek on January 27th, 2013 8:44 am

    Yummm… Darker, the more bitter the better. Porters, chocolate stouts are also very acceptable ways to get my chocolate on.

  19. Carla on January 27th, 2013 3:01 pm

    Chocolate covered almonds from Trader Joe’s..or chocolate chip cookies…or chocolate pie.(see also brownies, cakes and ice cream).

  20. Maddie on January 28th, 2013 10:41 am

  21. A Wallace on January 28th, 2013 10:50 am

    Anything taste better with chocolate!

  22. Kerry on January 28th, 2013 10:57 am

    Ooh, love chocolate — especially dark! Looking forward to a fun girls’ night out at this event!

  23. Kristyn on January 28th, 2013 11:49 am

    Pretty much any way, though lately I’ve fallen in love with the Chocolove dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds bar at Earth Fare. Something about that sweet and salty combo!

  24. Jennifer Gessner on January 28th, 2013 12:06 pm

    I love dark chocolate! The darker, the better! Green & Black’s is my current favorite for just plain old dark chocolate. Another favorite is dark chocolate with sea-salt. I love World Market’s dark chocolate & sea salt for that fix!

  25. Elizabeth on January 28th, 2013 1:48 pm

    Chocolate ice cream, cake, candy, candy bars… The list is long!

  26. Suzie on January 28th, 2013 2:32 pm

    Dark, salted and with almond chunks! Yummmm!

  27. Liza on January 28th, 2013 2:38 pm

    Cadbury mini eggs, please!

  28. Shila on January 28th, 2013 9:21 pm

    Any and all Vosges dark chocolate bars- especially Mo’s bacon and dark chocolate. Perfect combination of salty, sweet and smoky… Sublime!

  29. Tracy Dubey on January 29th, 2013 2:57 am

    White chocolate is the best!

  30. Amanda B. on January 29th, 2013 3:08 am

    Oooohhhhh Shop tart! I need these tickets! I am a chocolate fanatic and this would be the perfect event for me! I love chocolate with sea salt on top the best – DELISH! Please, OH PLEASE, pick me for the win :)

  31. Jessica on January 29th, 2013 7:59 am

    Rosewood market’s chocolate cake! Used to have one a day!

  33. Lloyd on January 30th, 2013 8:30 am

  36. Barkley on January 31st, 2013 9:08 am

    I blend cacao nibs in smoothies with banana.

  37. Cristina on February 5th, 2013 4:16 pm

    Milk chocolate never fails.

  38. August on February 5th, 2013 4:21 pm

  40. Lili Stoisor-Olsson on February 5th, 2013 4:26 pm

    What an awesome event! Love any kind of chocolate – I don’t discriminate! I love the chocolate that’s in my house which I can eat at any time!

  41. Ashley on February 5th, 2013 4:50 pm

    Dark chocolate….or with peanut butter, please.

  42. Ashley on February 5th, 2013 4:51 pm

    Also: this is on my 30th birthday & would be the best best gift.

  43. C. Marie on February 5th, 2013 8:03 pm

    Salted caramel chocolate cupcakes from Cupcake are the best :)

  44. Jessica on February 6th, 2013 4:37 pm

    I keep my good chocolates inside a vintage tin in my bedside table – just for moments when you are feeling like a woman in need of chocolate!

  45. Shana on February 6th, 2013 4:37 pm

    Chocolate is best enjoyed with friends! Dark chocolate with salt for me.

  46. Katie on February 6th, 2013 4:39 pm

    About ten years ago I prepped 500 hand-made chocolate truffles to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Since then, I take my chocolate “made by someone else”!

  47. Ashley T. on February 6th, 2013 4:42 pm

    Chocolate and wine. Count me in! Lindt dark chocolate truffles are my weakness.

  48. Gayle on February 6th, 2013 4:46 pm

    Chocolate cures everything :-)

  49. Jordan on February 6th, 2013 4:51 pm

    This sounds deliciously fun!

    Dove Dark Chocolate is my addiction!!

  50. Samantha on February 6th, 2013 5:40 pm

    I love any and all chocolates especially with almonds!
