Green Festival: Riot For Cacao

Megan Bowers, NBC5 Street Team

So after a couple hours of walking around the festival, I was ready for more free samples. After all, a girl’s gotta eat, right? This time my eye caught a row of martini glasses filled with chocolate candies. Nice. While I was savoring ‘Flavor 50′ I noticed rally signs around the Sweet Riot booth that said ‘I Riot For Cacao!’ and ‘Change the World!’ I don’t mean to profile, but I’d riot for chocolate any day. I found out that Sweet Riot is a candy company that sells “peaces” of cacao nibs. What in the world are nibs, you may ask? They’re little pieces of chocolate that are only one to two calories, so needless to say I sampled an entire handful without feeling guilty!
