Dilettante Women's Triathlon is coming! Join us June 15th at Five Mile Lake Park!

Dilettante Women’s Triathlon is coming! Join us June 15th at Five Mile Lake Park!

We are happy to announce the second annual Dilettante Women’s Triathlon! This great event, organized by our friends at BTO Mulitsports, takes place June 15th at Five Mile Lake Park in Auburn. This family-friendly triathlon welcomes any skill level – from the seasoned athlete, to those just starting out in the world of athletic events.

This year participants will have two course options. The Sprint Course includes shorter swim, bike, and run distances, while the newly-added Olympic Course is available to those looking to step it up. The Olympic Course features swim, bike, and run courses at Olympic-length distances.

For some novice athletes, the word “triathlon” could be quite intimidating or daunting. The Dilettante Women’s Triathlon has the perfect solution – the LUNA Chix Race Buddy Program. Athletes have the option of teaming up with a member of the Seattle LUNA Chix Triathlon Team. A LUNA Chix Team member will be by your side throughout the race to offer guidance and inspiration. Support from another female athlete may be just what you need to cross the finish line!

Did we mention that race prizes come in the form of chocolate? The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers of each category will receive delectable Dilettante Chocolates, along with an engraved wooden plaque. There will also be plenty of other chocolate goodies for all race participants to enjoy, including a chocolate fondue fountain!

We look forward to seeing everyone at the race!

Chocolate Easter Bunnies Galore!

Dilettante Chocolate Easter Bunnies

Hop to It! Choose your favorite Chocolate Rabbit today!

When it comes to Chocolate Easter Bunnies, we like to think we know a thing or two. We’ve been hand-crafting these tasty rabbit confections for years, and as they say practice makes perfect.

Each of our Chocolate Easter Bunnies is handmade using premium chocolate. Our confectioners hand paint white chocolate details into each mold, then carefully fill out the rest of the bunny with milk and dark chocolate. Once the chocolate has set, each sweet bunny treat is packaged in a beautiful display box or wrapped in cellophane and topped with a colorful bow. But enough talk about that, let’s meet the Dilettante Chocolate Bunnies!

Chocolate-Bunny-Scouter Say hello to Scouter. He’s a kind-looking fellow just waiting to make your acquaintance. This adorable chocolate rabbit comes dressed to the nines in trousers, shirt sleeves, collar and tie. He’s all dressed up for Easter Sunday and ready to hop into the nearest Easter basket.
Chocolate-Bunny-Dude Next in the lineup is Dude. This guy comes with all the attitude a seven-inch chocolate rabbit can hold. Arms crossed, ear flopped, white chocolate eyebrows raised, he’s just screaming “Come on, just you try and eat me!” But don’t worry, he’s never been known to bite back.
Chocolate-Bunny-Topper The star of our Chocolate Rabbit Show has to be Topper. Standing at 13 inches tall, he is complete with a friendly bunny grin, large pointed ears, and when you turn him around you’ll find a white fluffy tail. Did we mention he’s also clutching his most prized possession? A giant, white chocolate carrot!

 (Also keep an eye out Dude’s smaller counterpart, Lopsy. This look-a-like may be slight of stature, but he still packs a great combo of sass and deliciousness.)
