No matter whether you take your chocolate in a pastry, coffee or chili, whether you prefer it frozen or deep fried, you were welcome at Epiphany Lutheran Church's Chocolate Festival on Saturday. And you had options.

The celebration drew several hundred visitors, making it the biggest chocolate fest since the Rock Hill church started it four years ago.

Children decorated cupcakes and played on an inflatable bouncer, while everyone else perused the sweets.

There were pastries, chili made with unsweetened chocolate, a chocolate fountain, crepes and deep-fried candy bars, among other treats.

The church uses money raised at the event to pay for projects and mission trips.
