Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Chocolate Party Invitations
   
   When sending invites via email take a picture of chocolate that is in your home and include it with the chocolate party specifics. Be sure to let all the chocolate lover friends what to bring, especially if a chocolate fountain is going to be the centerpiece of the party. When sending invitations through the mail be sure to use brown paper and include the chocolate photo on it, also.

2. Chocolate Party Menu
   
   Don't force a sit down, four course meal. Do it just like you would on a regular barbecue Sunday. Serve grilled chicken, pork chops, pasta, and mashed potatoes, anything you are familiar with! Now, the simple chicken pieces and pork chops can be made magical by adding chocolate inspired sauces like mole, a Mexican, chili-chocolate essential. Round it up with chocolate deserts such as chocolate cakes, pastries and don't forget to serve a pile of different kinds of chocolates. Make sure to have tons of them because you will be using them on games and other activities, anyway! You don't need to buy those expensive gourmet chocolates, just grab the regular ones, your favorite brands - unless the gourmet chocolates are really what you're going for.
   
   If you want to serve fondue, then prepare fondue matches like marshmallows, pretzels and fruits. Research on wines that would go well with chocolates and keep the idea for the party! And last of all, max out on a variety of drinks that could help clean your guests' palates.

3. Chocolate Party Stage the Grandeur
   
   Take out your best linens. If you have chocolate designed-linens, that would be great! You can line two or three tables with them. One table will be for eating and the other for chocolate and wine tasting. It can also be a place where you can display desserts that fellow choco lovers may want to indulge in anytime they want to while at the party.
   
   Decorate your party area by incorporating chocolate brown colors in your design. Set the sound system and make sure you have great happy music to match the ambiance. And finally, make sure that your program is ready along with the materials that you would need in games or activities.

4. Chocolate Party Fun
   
   Here's a list of things that you can do at your chocolate party aside from chocolate and wine tasting. You may choose one or few of them, at least whatever is possible and could easily be done without having to spend so much.
   
   • Game - Who Can Eat The Most Chocolates?
   • Chocó Poker – Use chocolate pieces as chips. Your guest may take home whatever chocolates they can win.

Tips & Warnings
