It’s American Chocolate Week! Join us as we explore the history and natural history of the cacao pod. Once considered more valuable than gold in Mesoamerica, later guarded as a royal state secret in Europe, and even responsible for the accidental creation of America’s most popular cookie, cacao has journeyed from a frothy, bitter drink to the iconic Hershey’s bar. After the presentation, indulge in a tasting experience featuring chocolate from bean to bar, along with historic cocoa recipes.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 16 or older.
Registration required by Tuesday, March 17, by calling 815-722-9301 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9931?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true&locale=en-US
