Burlington’s Spring Home Expo will have the feel of a home kitchen with the annual Chocolate Extravaganza bake-off contest.

The event features recipes with one thing in common — chocolate.

“We have people coming back year after year,” said Marcia Kendall of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce.

The contest typically has about 75 entries in categories that include recipes made by adults, ’tweens and children.

Spectators can come out to watch the judging, Kendall said.

A panel of professionals judge each item; the top 15 advance to celebrity judging.

The winner receives a KitchenAid stand mixer.

Entry forms can be downloaded from www.burlingtonchamber.org; items must be dropped off at the show by 9 a.m.

The home show runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 28 at Burlington High School, located at 400 McCanna Parkway.

Admission is $1, or free with the coupon from the March 22 Walworth County Sunday, on newsstands now.

Everyone entering the show will be entered into the $1,000 grand-prize drawing.

The show is sponsored by the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information, call (262) 763-6044 or visit www.burlingtonchamber.org.
