Move over diet. It’s World Chocolate Day this Friday and I’m embracing an all-day-cheat-day.
Friday is World Chocolate Day, and while we (definitely me) will use this as a cheap excuse to devour anything and everything chocolate, I’m going to do the rest of you a favour and give you the low down on where to go to satisfy your taste buds. From dessert bars in Sydney’s Chippendale to a three-in-one dessert in Melbourne’s Prahran, I’ve got you covered.
