Married to Chocolate

http://marriedtochocolate.blogspot.com/

You are cordially invited to read Married to Chocolate, a dessert blog by food writer and chocolate devotee Kris Alcantara. Kris first launched Married to Chocolate in June 2009 while pursuing her MA in Journalism at Syracuse University, but she has been in love with chocolate waaaaay before that (finding melted chocolate in her purse or smudged on her camera is a normal occurrence). This dessert blog allows her to relive her days as a food editor and blogger in Manila when she ate for a living. Now stationed in NYC, her quest for the best red velvet cupcakes continues. She is also a self-proclaimed No-Bake Queen.
