More than 40 local and regional vendors set up throughout the aquarium's galleries offering samples and sales of their decadent chocolates, baked goods, gelato and specialty foods.
“Here’s a recipe for a great day,” said Chris Loynd, the aquarium’s marketing director. “Start with one of the best places for family fun in Connecticut, and melt in fine chocolatiers.
"Next, whisk in an assortment of all things chocolate, from soaps and crepes to brussel sprouts and bacon. Sprinkle in free demonstrations by celebrity chefs, and keep it all simmering for an additional two hours. Adorn with sides, relishes and sauces to taste. Finally, serve it all up for a 25 percent discount on regular Aquarium admission. As we say every year, you’d have to be dipped in nuts not to come.”
