Conway Notebook | Chocolate Creations Pave Way For Strollers

Barbara Whitley of Crady's Restaurant at Fourth Avenue and Main Street talks with the soul of a poet when she describes making chocolate confections.

Words like "serendipitous" and "umami" flavor her sentences with unexpected treats.

Serendipitous, she explains, is the magic of the moment when carefully-tended chocolate, butter and whipping cream miraculously meld into a dark, silky ganache.

Umami is the inexpressible quality of chocolate that delights everyone.

"When you taste it," Whitley says, "it explodes in your mouth with flavor."

Whitley has been making chocolate creations for 50 years, and some of her confections - along with those at 25 other businesses - will be available to strollers in downtown Conway on Feb. 12.

That's the day Conway Main Street is sponsoring a Chocolate Walk as another way to promote the River City's historic downtown business district. –Read more at SunNews
