Just when you thought it was safe to sell chocolate outdoors again... 45 degrees, but the sun is hot. They may be small chocolate puddles but they still taste great and look pretty! #itschocolate #cleflea (at Hingetown)

Just a few more hours left at the last outdoor market of the season. (at Hingetown)

Never too late to celebrate... Champagne and macaron to round out the birthday festivities. (at Coquette Patisserie)

We transferred the photographer's prints to white chocolate for closing night of 'Kevin D. Carmont: Listen to these Pictures' - documenting the late 70s music scene in Cleveland. Now you can taste em too! Stop by tonight only 6-10p at Space: ROCK on Waterloo. #itschocolate #rocknroll #thisiscle (at Space: Rock)

We've been eating a lot of watermelon this Summer, so naturally we thought why not make Pate de fruits! These concentrated fruit jellies are not gummy, but light, almost melt in your mouth, bite-size sweets rolled in sugar. Made with fresh fruit and fruit juices, natural fruit pectin, sugar... and LOTS of stirring! Find them this week at @sweetoliviarose 16832 Chagrin Blvd.

Did you know yesterday was National Milk Chocolate Day? Neither did we - but, it's never too late to celebrate. Enjoying a taste of our scratch made Mexican - 45% chocolate bar with our coffee this morning - and marking our calendar for next year. #itschocolate #nationalmilkchocolateday #beantobar (at Sweet Bean)
