What's YOUR definition of a good time?

Does it include chocolate? Party on! No, seriously. Let's throw a chocolate party.

Here's how it works: You invite your friends, I'll bring the chocolate. You get half-off on anything it the catalogues and free chocolate based on sales, just for being the host. It's fun and easy!

How about these party ideas?
  • CHOCOLATE SUNDAES! How about Lindt's Chocolate Fudge Sauce over your favorite ice cream and toppings, such as nuts and a maraschino cherry and your choice of Lindt Excellence chocolate bar pieces or shavings. 
  • WINE & CHOCOLATE! Here we combine two tastings together. Lindt makes it easy with wine suggestions that we pair with bites of white, milk and dark chocolate. Double the yum factor!
  • BAKING PARTY! Choose from any of the recipes in the Lindt Chocolate Passion Cookbook. One of the easiest and most popular desserts to make is Classic Chocolate Brownies, made with 3 Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa bars. This recipe smells as delicious as it tastes!
  • FONDUE! Cut up chunks of fruit, angel food cake and marshmallows to dip in a mixture of melted Lindt Bittersweet, Dark or Milk Chocolate and heavy or light cream or half and half. Don't be surprised when there's nothing left at the bottom of the pot.
  • MILK SHAKES! Made with ice cream, three famous Lindor Truffles and a splash of milk. Watch out ~ these can become addictive!
  • DRINKS! How about a Chocolate Raspberry "Lindtini"? It's made with Raspberry Vodka, White Creme de Cacao with a Lindor Raspberry or Extra Dark Chocolate Truffle and raspberries as a garnish. Oh yeah!
Sound like fun? Why wait? Check your calendar and let's make a date soon. I still have some available times in July. Contact me at thinkchocolate251@yahoo.com or call me at 940-395-1300 to set up your party now.
