 How will you be celebrating National Chocolate Week? © Nikki Bayley© Nikki BayleyIf we're being 100% truthful, any week is chocolate week with us, but during October 8th - 14th we're glad to see the rest of the country getting on board and celebrating the all-round fantastic-ness of chocolate during the official Chocolate Week. There are events across the whole country where you can taste, make and enjoy chocolate in all its many and wonderful forms. Happy eating!
When: 8-14th October
Where: The Meall Reamhar restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel in Perthshire
Sign up for a chocolate feast for lunch or dinner with five courses including delights like a Carpaccio of Smoked Venison with a dark chocolate and balsamic reduction and a Chocolate and Chilli Sorbet. We'd love to try the cheese course; a Scottish Morangie Brie coated in crisp dark Belgian chocolate. Yum!

Where: York's Chocolate Story
There's a whole fun week of events on here but we love the idea of this one the most. You can watch York's Head Chocolatier working with different kinds of chocolate to create an intricate edible sculpture. When you think about how easy it is to melt chocolate in your hands, you can understand how impressive this feat is.
