Ashworth Artisan Chocolates in Old Hyde Park Village has a unique array of freshly handmade chocolates. I love a great handmade caramel chocolates. Yes, I grew up on Fannie Mae Famous Chocolates! The fancy morsels often called petite aphrodisiacs were delicious. The caramels offered were GREAT! The glass chocolate showcase has all your favorites right in the front of you. Yes, ah=gain I was a kid in a candy store. Steven Ashworth is the talented proprietor of the neighborhood chocolate factory on Hyde Park’s Snow Ave .

He gave me a viand of one of his original works, Dark Chocolate Cayenne Pepper Brittle. A hint of heat with the deep rich chocolate. Wow a tidbit of surprise! Other unique visual flavors are Cocoa Chai Spice for a worldly taste, Key Lime Sunset for Florida’s wild zesty flavor, and fifty varieties of dark, white and milk chocolate sweets. Most are a combination of his trial and precise combos of imagination. The culinary chocolatier also has a full line of sugar free chocolates as well.

I then went out to see the wonderful sidewalk chalk art drawing beginnings throughout Old Hyde Park Village for the Annual HP Sidewalk Chalk Art Show.
