This was also my first chocolate festival and this place was packed when we got there Friday night just after 7 pm. We had overpriced hot dogs that were ok, but dessert was much better. The Indian fry bread with sugar, cinnamon and honey was so yummy. I played it safe and had chocolate covered strawberries and my boyfriend had a slice of chocolate covered cheesecake. The cheesecake was very rich, but still really good.
We each tried a free sample of Kokopelli Wines and the samples were much too small to really get a taste of their wines. My boyfriend couldn't even swirl his Merlot in the cup they gave us which was smaller than the measuring cup you get with cough medicine. We both passed on ordering a glass of the wines we tried. And we love wine. :(
There was also a place that was serving samples of soups and dips (sorry I can't remember their name) and they were all delicious.
I never knew Glendale had such a cute downtown area.
