Cocoa Designs in SF Chronicle

Ariella Toeman, founder of Cocoa Designs, makes the most delicious chocolate concoctions - she was part of our first Showcase event and was a huge hit. Today, she's featured in an article in the SF Chronicle article about artisan chocolatiers:

San Franciscan Ariella Toeman's Cocoa Nuts marry her classic French training with her fondness for nuts in the form of dragees -- nuts roasted and caramelized, then dipped and coated in dark or milk chocolate.

Ariella has also developed a way to combat your chocoholic tendencies, which is also how she plans to eventually rule the world by luring you into her web of chocolate delights.

And, by the way, did you know that Americans spend almost $16 billion / year on chocolate? I'm responsible for about $3 billion of that, so who are these other chocolate freaks?
