Chocoholics Evening – pure indulgence!
Pure indulgence! Superb fun! That’s the verdict from members and guests of the Market Harborough WI who made the Chocoholics Evening on the 2nd October such a success.
‘A cracking evening, with everyone enjoying themselves’ says Hazel Stacey, President. ‘There was loads for people to do, including Chocolate Bingo and Chocolate Olympics. All the games involved chocolate, whether it be a jigsaw, building the tallest tower or icing a cake blindfolded!’
A recent visit to a cash and carry had raided their chocolate ranges! Then followed a sweatshop evening when committee members sorted and bagged prizes, nibbling any leftovers. For the Chocoholics Evening prizes formed the basis of various competitions, including Name the Teddy and Treasure Chest. The first to sell out was Chocolate Tombola.
Several members made gorgeous chocolate cakes and our tastebuds were in heaven as we sampled them and voted for the best one.
Everyone joined in to play Chocolate Bingo followed by Chocolate Olympics. Players from each team took turns to build a chocolate tower, complete a chocolate bar jigsaw, eat a chocolate mint balanced on their forehead, transfer chocolate ball sweets from one dish to another using a straw and, finally, to decorate a cake with cream and coloured sweets (the trick? – to do it blindfolded!).

Hazel concludes, ‘Off to bed to dream of the chocolate that didn’t touch my lips.’ (A confirmed chocoholic, she is doing a ‘giving up’ fund raising event for work this month. Not a good time to stage the Chocoholics evening!
