Chocoholics would have had a field day at a chocolate cook off.
Pupils from Alec Hunter Academy and Tabor Academy in Braintree went head to head to come up with their own choccie creations at Tutti Grille in Freeport Braintree.
The winner was William Pennington, 12, from Alec Hunter, with his chocolate orange fondant.
He won a family meal for four at the restaurant.
