February is Chocolate Month at The Morton Arboretum and we’re celebrating  with an entire calendar full of events each weekend sure to please chocolate-lovers of all ages. Kicking off the month-long celebration is the Chocolate Expo on February 4-5 with 20 Chicagoland-area chocolatiers offering tasty treats for sampling and purchasing. Hands-on workshops will be offered throughout the month, including truffle making and chocolate “sushi” made with chocolate and fruit. Enjoy a chocolate-themed brunch and a lively presentation on the “Sweet History of Chicago,” or participate in a wine- and chocolate-pairing class. You can even take a class to learn about the scientific history of the cacoa plant while sampling different chocolate varieties. Then, indulge in an afternoon of specialty beers paired with chocolate-infused foods. There are also activities and classes galore for kids! Check for details or call 630-725-2066.
