Girls’ Night Out, In

May 19, 2009

Ingredients for a swanky night away from it all? Best gal pals, a few drinks and exotic chocolate tastings, of course.

Diana Phillips, exotic chocolatier, will help you host a one-of-a-kind Girls’ Night Out.

“My tasting nights are always a blast! I talk about the history of chocolate a little bit, introduce different kinds of chocolate, tell how they differ and I pair the tastings with different wine, liquers, cocktails. Things get a little silly! It’s great for mental health,” Diana tells me with a sly smile on her face.

Diana Phillips Chocolates are as fresh as her get-together concept. She makes her own chocolate in her professional San Clemente kitchen with organic goods she buys from local farms. And her presentation rivals art (her former life as a Creative Director at LA’s top ad shops shows).

Some samplings you’ll experience? Everything from Rosemary Grapefruit Caramel and Chipotle Espresso to her Island Sea Salt Collection, Lavender French Knot Truffle and more.

In addition to private tastings, Diana also creates chocolates for events for as many as 2,000 guests, her chocolates are available for order online and she can make personalize collections as gifts for occasions from showers to birthdays to anniversaries—creating unique flavors and designs to match any theme.

Sinful decadent, refreshingly natural, wildly fun. The chocolate or Diana? Both.
