Anonymous Credo
Raise your hand and say:
Hi, my name is (state your name),
and I am addicted to chocolate.
I think about chocolate always,
except when I am asleep
and then I dream about chocolate.
Now you are ready to enjoy.
Welcome!!
Holy Chocolate!
From: Dawn
I just wanted to send you my favorite scripture.
In the beginning there was a word,
and the word was chocolate,
and it was good.

Mexican Hot Chocolate
Cooking up some history
 In 1828, a Dutch chemist
and chocolate manufacturer named Coenraad Van Houten invented a way of making chocolate into powder. Her reduced the fat
from chocolate liqueur and made what was left into a hard cake. The cake could be
crushed into a powder, which would dissolve easily into liquid. This started a whole new
way to make hot chocolate. See this recipe from author, Arlette Braman, author of Kids
