GO CHOCOLATE TASTING

Chocolates are yummy, and Accra has the yummiest of them all. Accra is one of the largest Cocoa producers worldwide. You’d wonder why there aren’t lots of chocolate producing companies. Even though there are not many chocolate companies, there are few whose products will set your craving for chocolate on fire. Take a taxi any time to ’57 Chocolate; a chocolate company birthed by two sisters who hold chocolate tasting moments in Legon. These Chocolates are handcrafted and come in flavors like Hibiscus, Mocha, coconut etc. Oh, how yummy these flavors are. If you can’t take all flavors at once, you can pack different chocolate flavors as take-outs or as beautifully wrapped gifts for your loved ones. As much as going hiking can make your day fun, chocolate tasting can make your day a superb one.
