Chocolate is the essence of life. At least for me!

The extended challenge currently on sugarfrostedgoodness.com is "chocolate"



One of my favorite books is "The Emperors of Chocolate" by Joel Glenn Brenner. Ms. Brenner's book reads like a cold war novel. It is brimming with intrigue, doulble-crossing, espionage, technology and, best of all, chocolate. Ms. Brenner chronicles the rivalry between eccentric Milton S. Hershey and even-more eccentric Forrest Mars Sr.
Hershey, a two-time failure at the caramel business, started manufacturing chocolate in central Pennsylvania. In no time, Hershey was supplying the chocolate to 95% of the nation's candy companies. Forrest Mars, who was carrying on his family's candy company, manufactured his father's Milky Way candy bars. Milky Way, at the time, was the most popular candy bar in the country. But Mars resented using his competition's chocolate in his candy. Mars decided to make his own chocolate instead of buying it from Hershey. He visited Hershey's manufacturing plant, along with common tourists. Forrest Mars holds the record for factory tours at Hershey.
In Spain, in the 1930s, Mars discovered a hard-candy shell filled with chocolate. He showed his new discovery to Hershey, who was amused by it, but not impressed. Mars offered the son of Hershey president, William Murrie, a job with his company. Mars needed an "in" at Hershey to get closer to the manufacturing secrets, and the younger Murrie was it. He even named his new candy-coated chocolate creation M & Ms, for Mars and Murrie.
Mars and Hershey tried to outdo each other for years. Their once-cordial business relationship turned bitter. The introduction of new products seemed to be less for the consumer and more for their enmity.

All the neighbourhood monsters were excited to try Fluffy's yummy new Chocolate Log. The Chocolate Log wasn't excited.

Due to a somewhat disappointing and lackluster turnout I've decided to extend the deadline on the current challenge and give you all an opportunity to still participate. No excuses now!

The current theme is Chocolate. Additional information regarding the current challenge may be found HERE.

Though not mandatory by any means, I encourage you all to participate! :)

The next SFG Challenge will begin on August 30th, 2007.

Have a great weekend!

Since I have been working on my submission for the HOWiezine, theme is robots, I decided to do a robot illustration for this SFG: Chocolate challenge.


Here he is in all his glory, Choco-bot 2000.

Enjoy.

FYI - I have started a fun quiz on Wednesdays over in the SFG Forum titled: "Steph's Wednesday Gray Matter Exercise."

Check it out and try to solve the quiz: Steph's WGME

This one is an episode (the first one) from my webcomic about Chocolate Log.

Anyway here's our site if you want to see more.

Peace out!

An oldie one plus a new one for this weekly challenge!

Yummy yum yum, what a great day for a picnic and eat ice cream with chocolate sauce.

You can down load this image for your mobile phone here

and check out the Chocolate Log website for more

Hahaha how convenient for Chocolate Log that this weeks theme is 'chocolate'. Well anyway here are some chocolate images and I'll see if I can dig up some more.

Also you may have saw a Chocolate Log plush toy in the middle, well my friend you can buy them from here!

And make sure you visit our Chocolate Log website, we just uploaded the new site yesterday!

Well i am back again..LOL..and this time i am wondering my self....who took a chomp at the wonka bar???.....best to all of you guys..glad to be able to post.

Inspired by our good friend Onno's new website, this weeks theme is CHOCOLATE. Be it giant chocolate bunnies from outer space bent on world domination or a self portrait of your 7 year old self after an Easter basket bender, this theme is all about the chocolate.

For you newcomers, the SFG Challenge runs Thursday to Thursday, and was created to offer every member an opportunity to stretch their creative muscles and post their interpretations on a specific theme. It's a lot of fun!

SPECIAL NOTE: Be sure to label your illustrations with the appropriate labels as well. I prefer you label your entries with your name or screenname, and the challenge label, SFG: Chocolate. There seems to be some problems with this step lately, shoot me an e-mail if you're uncertain how to do this.

Remember, this is a completely voluntary challenge designed solely to stimulate creativity and promote participation. Please don't hesitate to post your other work as normal.
