I couldn't let chocolate month end without tantalizing your taste buds with one more mouthwatering chocolate recipe. Chocolate mascarpone brownies, need I say more? —The Recipe Girl10 Chocolate Prints to Drool Over
Although today marks the last day of chocolate month, you can let chocolate live all year long by posting one of these arty prints on your walls. I've gone through a substantial collection and picked out some of the best ones. I think you'll find something suitable for every taste.
Come Party With Me: Wine and Chocolate Tasting — The Look
Keep things clean and simple at your wine and chocolate tasting. Be inspired by the colors of the wine and chocolate — deep red and rich brown — and use these to create a gorgeous look. Cover the table in a chocolate brown tablecloth and give guests brown cotton napkins.
Come Party With Me: Wine and Chocolate Tasting — Drinks
Normally I always serve a signature cocktail at my parties, but in the case of a wine and chocolate tasting, no hard alcohol is necessary. Instead be sure to have several different types of wine to pair with each chocolate course. If you don't know a lot about wine ask your local wine shop owner to help you.
Come Party With Me: Wine and Chocolate Tasting — Dessert
After sampling a couple of savory chocolate hors d'oeuvres, treat guests to a scrumptious chocolate orange cake.
No wine and chocolate tasting is complete without a salty sweet combination, so fill bowls with chocolate-almond saltine toffee. Supplement these homemade dishes with store bought chocolate truffles.

The Guide to the Chocolate Guide
If you've ever found yourself in a new city and wished you knew where to go to find a chocolate payload then consider yourself lucky. Just in time for chocolate month, the folks at TasteTV have released The Chocolate Guide, a book on local chocolatiers, chocolate makers, chocolate shops, and more. This edition covers the West Coast — it says it covers California, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia; however, I found it to be really California-centric — and gives you descriptions and photos of each place.
Come Party With Me: Wine and Chocolate Tasting — Menu
What's on the menu at a wine and chocolate party? Chocolate of course! Have a selection of — sweet and savory, homemade and store-bought — chocolate treats.
Chocolate Coaster: Love It or Hate It?
I saw these Chocolate Coasters ($12.95) and knew they'd be perfect for chocolate month. They come in packs of four and look exactly like hunks of brown or white chocolate. I think they might make a good gift for a super-chocoholic, but I'm not sure I'd want to use them on my coffee table.
Reader Recipe: Chocolate and Chili Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Frosting
I was looking for a good dessert to share with you guys, when I came across these Chocolate and Chili Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Frosting by TeamSugar member celebrity_soup. I thought the combination was so intriguing and lovely. I love peanut butter and chocolate, I love chili and chocolate, and yet I've never thought to put the three together.
