Calling all Big Island chocolate lovers! The Hawaiian Islands are well-known for our pineapple plantations and coffee farms, but that’s not all you’ll find here. Hawai is the only state in America that can easily grow cacao, and as a result, our beautiful islands are home to some of the country’s greatest chocolatiers. To celebrate the fantastic cacao grown — and chocolate made — across the Hawaiian Islands, the annual Big Island Chocolate Festival might just be the sweetest event you’ll ever attend, and is fast approaching this year.
