Throughout the years, chocolate has often received a bad reputation because of its fat content. In recent years however, the health benefits of chocolate have been realized. Although to be consumed in moderation, chocolate has been proven to not only provide a uniquely rich and sweet treat, it can also lower cholesterol, prevent cognitive decline and reduce the risk of cardiovascular health problems.

The residents of
Delmanor Wynford were not only informed about the benefits of eating chocolate, they were also given the opportunity to create their own chocolate treats themselves. With the help of the very knowledgeable chocolatiers from
Chocolate Tales, chocolatier Stephanie brought white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate to the workshop. Stephanie explained to the seniors how each type of chocolate provides a different health benefit. With her guidance, residents learned how to temper chocolate and were able to create chocolate truffles, chocolate lava cakes, and even the widely popular caramel chocolates.

The residents thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be creative using chocolate as their medium, who wouldn't be! Following the demonstration, the seniors were each given a gift box to fill with all of their chocolate creations. Everyone agreed that the best part of the chocolate demonstration was being able to sample all of the delicious chocolate!
