Chocolates are heaven sent for nuns

GLUTTONY may be one of the seven deadly sins but a group of nuns in Galway are turning a blind eye to the failing as their chocolate-making business takes off.

The nuns first started producing the tasty treats back in 2010 after they closed their world-famous boarding school and were left with a fully-fitted kitchen lying idle.

"The chocolates are very popular with tourists but they also have a big following among the local community that buy them regularly," said Sr Genevieve.
