"I Love My Chocolates", and good gods, were there plenty to choose from. The Rocks Aroma Festival is a one day, once per year festival in The Rocks, the area around which the settlement of Sydney was founded.

It focuses around coffee; South American in the Latin Quarter, European down near the Overseas Passenger Terminal, Turkish a little further to the north... and of course all of the tastes that go along with that such as baklava, cannoli, fudge, nougat, and naturally, chocolate. Oh, so much chocolate. Hand made chocolates. Strawberries dipped in chocolate. Chocolate puddings. Rocky Road. Choc-Mint Rocky Road, even. Cups of thick, hot drinking chocolate.

No, I didn't sample all of it.

But nonetheless... more than I should have, my waistline can assure you.

And I doubt that I'm the only one, as the relative bustle at this stall can attest.
