Title: The Sweet Truth — Discovering Healthy Chocolate & Raw Chocolate Making
Presenter: Gordana Boskovic
Description:
Did you know chocolate can be both indulgent and nourishing? In this enlightening presentation, you’ll uncover the science, myths, and magic behind healthy chocolate—especially raw chocolate—and learn how it can be part of a balanced lifestyle.
We’ll explore:

• What makes chocolate “healthy” – and what to watch out for in conventional products
• The power of raw cacao: antioxidants, mood boosters, and more
• Natural sweeteners and clean ingredients for guilt-free indulgence
• How to craft your own delicious raw chocolate at home

This engaging talk wraps up with a preview (and optional tasting!) of our Raw Healthy Chocolate Making Class, where you can take your knowledge to the next level with hands-on creation of your own customized chocolates.
Whether you're a wellness enthusiast, foodie, or curious chocolate lover, this is your chance to learn, taste, and transform your chocolate experience—naturally!
