The Club de Croqueurs de Chocolat (literally: "Chocolate Crunchers' Club") is an association of chocolate specialists. Founded in 1981, it publishes a gastronomic guide dedicated to chocolate every year, and awards prizes at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris.
Among the founders in 1981 were Claude Lebey, food critic,[1] Nicolas de Rabaudy, journalist, Jean-Paul Aron, philosopher, and Philippe Court, director of a champagne house.
The Club has won many awards such as, the flavor and originality award in 2022. They also meet every two months in Paris[2] for tastings and an annual dinner during which the menus are exclusively made up of dark and milk chocolate (candies, bars, desserts).
