DNI: Chocolate Chip Cookie Day
Thursday, August 4, 5 -7 pm
This month, Botanical Conservatory visitors will get insight into chocolate and how it’s derived from the fruit of a tree. Get up close to our Theobroma cacao, or Cacao Tree, and look for its funky flowers and fruit which occur at the same time on the plant.
Of course, because it’s National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day we’ll send you home with a recipe and a cookie ice cream sandwich with the help of instructor Cindy Henry.

If you are looking for an easy, no-bake summer dessert, we have the answer for you! Join us and create a beautiful layered summer dessert dip that is perfect for enjoying on the front porch or at your evening cookout. This recipe serves 15+ people.
