She must sell a lot of truffles. Enjoy the event. I have wondered the same thing about Kee’s Chocolates! She must sell a lot of truffles. Enjoy the event.

If it was only $20, I wouldn't think twice either! You're right in staying the higher price is probably discouraging many people not to come. I am very interested none-the-less and will let you know how it goes, if I end up going! (I really want to hear Kee's thoughts, I love her store and have oftened wondered how in the world she stays in business with such a specialized store in such a trendy neighborhood.) Thanks so much for the thorough reply! It's helped me make a decision. Wow that is a big jump! If it was only $20, I wouldn’t think twice either!

The Y has more than doubled the price of admission (last year it was $20) and that certainly changes things. I thought the highlight of last year's event was not the panel, but the chocolatiers that came to showcase their products. This is how I first tried Chocolat Moderne's Lychee truffles and learned about Sans Souci and Knipschildt. It's also rare to find international chocolate vendors in one place outside of the chocolate show, and it provided a nice way to learn about different international chocolate companies. The downside to the tasting part of the event was the massive amounts of people cramming the booths and stuffing their faces with free samples. That was a definite detractor. Overall I would say it depends on your interest in finding out about new chocolate companies and trends. I will not be going this year because of scheduling conflicts, but I have to admit that even if I was free the $45 may make me reconsider. Hopefully the high price of admission will lower the number of attendees and make the sampling a more pleasant experience. If you go, let me know if you find anything good! This is a good question.

Overall did you think the panel was worth the pretty high cost? I'm trying to decide whether the panel will be informative enough to "invest" $45. Let me know! Thanks! Hey Kelli,

I read your round-up from last-year. Overall did you think the panel was worth the pretty high cost? I’m trying to decide whether the panel will be informative enough to “invest” $45. Let me know!

Thanks!
