Nancy Slade is a professed chocoholic. She enjoys sharing her passion with others who love "the food of the gods" as much as she does. In her first book, A Guidebook for Chocoholics, Nancy included a few recipes amongst the facts, trivia, quotes, and anecdotes. Her readers were most excited about the recipes, so she decided to include many more in her next chocolate book. Because she didn’t want to assemble the recipes in a traditional cook book style, she wrote a story that revolves around chocolate treats. Nancy is grateful to her husband, Steve, for being the "quality control specialist" who ate all those sample baked goods.
