One of our last free weekends before the holiday event season begins, and where are we? In the kitchen... (at Sweet Bean)

Soon you won't even need the milk! #melting #cocoapops #cleflea #sunshine (at Hingetown)

Just when you thought it was safe to sell chocolate outdoors again... 45 degrees, but the sun is hot. They may be small chocolate puddles but they still taste great and look pretty! #itschocolate #cleflea (at Hingetown)

Just a few more hours left at the last outdoor market of the season. (at Hingetown)

They're baaack! Falling temps means it's Cocoa Pop! season. Just add hot milk + stir. Get them tomorrow at @clevelandflea #sundaymarket from 10a - 4p in Hingetown - see you there? #itschocolate #cocoapops

Today our sweet bean is 5! Happy birthday Violet! #dogsofinstagram #vizslasofinstagram #birthdaygirl (at Sweet Bean)

Sunrise from Frank Lloyd Wright's Balter House this morning. A relaxing weekend before the busy holiday chocolate season begins... (at Polymath Park Frank Lloyd Wright Duncan House)

It may be chilly out, but we've got warm + comforting homemade chocolate whirring up here. Our first batch of single-origin for the upcoming holiday season! #itschocolate #beantobar (at Sweet Bean)

Gorgeous day! Happy to be at an outside market again! (at Hudson Flea)

Happy Fall! Our favorite time of year... #itschocolate warm cinnamon + salted caramels (at Sweet Bean)

Continuing our exploration of cacao... Ecuador 56%. #itschocolate #beantobar #avantgardeshows

We may be some of the only people excited about this Fall weather. It means we are officially off Summer event hiatus! At #avantgardeshows today in Chagrin Falls. (at Federated Church Family Life Center)

Never too late to celebrate... Champagne and macaron to round out the birthday festivities. (at Coquette Patisserie)

We transferred the photographer's prints to white chocolate for closing night of 'Kevin D. Carmont: Listen to these Pictures' - documenting the late 70s music scene in Cleveland. Now you can taste em too! Stop by tonight only 6-10p at Space: ROCK on Waterloo. #itschocolate #rocknroll #thisiscle (at Space: Rock)

We've been eating a lot of watermelon this Summer, so naturally we thought why not make Pate de fruits! These concentrated fruit jellies are not gummy, but light, almost melt in your mouth, bite-size sweets rolled in sugar. Made with fresh fruit and fruit juices, natural fruit pectin, sugar... and LOTS of stirring! Find them this week at @sweetoliviarose 16832 Chagrin Blvd.

Did you know yesterday was National Milk Chocolate Day? Neither did we - but, it's never too late to celebrate. Enjoying a taste of our scratch made Mexican - 45% chocolate bar with our coffee this morning - and marking our calendar for next year. #itschocolate #nationalmilkchocolateday #beantobar (at Sweet Bean)

'Twas the night before Xmas (in July)...and not a bad little Friday... Shopping, brunch and spa with my sister, dinner with the boy... (at Lure Bistro & Sushi Bar)
