I cannot believe it’s that time of the year again! #Choctoberfest is one of my favourite food bloggers event! Why? Because it is a week that is all about chocolate! And who doesn’t love chocolate?

I will be sharing a few recipes this week, so make sure you are following me on Instagram or Facebook to be the first to know what I am making 😉

So, what exactly is #Choctoberfest?

#Choctoberfest is an annual recipe-sharing event. I’m joining other food bloggers from around the world to create delicious chocolate recipes. This year, over 70 bloggers are joining together for a week full of chocolate cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, tarts, candies, and more. You can follow along by searching for the hashtag #Choctoberfest on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter. Or, simply follow any of the participating bloggers listed below.

We also have some awesome sponsors, who make #Choctoberfest possible every year. Our sponsors have banded together to put together a delicious prize pack worth over $400! Here’s what you get if you win! (Scroll down to enter.)
