It’s a delightful treat sure to please your guests; with an aroma so sweet it excites your senses! From wedding cakes to edible wedding favors, chocolate is one of the most delicious ways to say thank you to all who attend your wedding.

More brides and grooms are breaking away from the stereotypical white wedding cake and opting for a rich fudge cake, with chocolate icing over it, or even keeping a white cake and having a chocolate Bavarian filling. Yum! Instead of the traditional wedding cake, place mini-cakes, cupcakes or cake pops on guest’s tables. This way you can have a mixture of cakes favors, fillings and icing.

Share this sweet flavor with a chocolate fountain. It will fill the entire room with the alluring aroma of chocolate and your guests will be enchanted by this delicious treat. Have an arrangement of fruits, pretzels and other treats gathered to be dipped… it gets people out of their seats and keeps them coming back for more!

Chocolate favors like personalized candy bars, Hersey Kisses and fun keepsake boxes filled with chocolate candies are popular choices. Be creative and serve homemade chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk… what a great way to treat your guests at the end of your reception dance!

Despite chocolate’s popularity, it is not universally favored and some wedding guests may be allergic to chocolate or even a nut filling. Be sure to have non-chocolate, sweet options for these guests also.

So if you love chocolate, don’t hesitate to share your love for it on your special day! Don’t be surprised if you find your guests sniffing around the tables for extras!
