After three days of intense competition, Lluc Crusellas of Spain won out over 17 other competitors to become 2022's World Chocolate Master. He was joined on stage by Antoine Carreric (France, 2nd place) and Nicolas Niklakopoulous (Greece, 3rd), with scores of 434, 405, and 404, respectively.

Chef Lluc was also honored by those watching the competition and voting from home. His shop window was voted a favorite by competition viewers. 

The passion and dedication exhibited by all of the competitors were inspiring.  Italy's Ann Gerasi's focus and spirit really stood out, and she received a standing ovation from the crowd during the final score presentation. 

A huge thanks to all of the chefs involved in the competition!
