Chocolate heaven in Hamrun

Hamrun was transformed into a chocolate heaven this evening with sculptures, paintings, centrepieces and models, providing a treat for the senses.

The goods on show included a life-size dining room complete with crockery, chairs and chandeliers – all made of chocolate and a three metre-high model of the Ħamrun parish church.

But it was not all look, desire but don't touch - chocolate goods, including sweets, bread, cakes, ice creams and food were also available for sale.

The festival, organised by the local council, was held in the village’s main streets and also included exhibitions of old chocolate containers.
