A Super Bowl of chocolate at the Morton Arboretum

Chips, Buffalo wings and pizza may have been the dining selections at many suburban homes for Super Bowl Sunday, but those looking to satisfy a more sophisticated palate could have stopped first at the Morton Arboretum's Chocolate Expo and Market.

The annual event in Lisle featured nearly 20 vendors offering a wide range of delicious chocolate concoctions and a number of chocolate-themed presentations, including “The History, Mystery and Magic of Chocolate;” “Chocolate Bean to Bar;” “Do You Know Your Candy Bar?;” and “Master the Chocolate Martini.”
