    We really enjoyed this chocolate truffle making class. It provides a great foundation for making truffles, and the class was such fun (with quite a few yummy chocolate covered treats). Roni-Sue is a wonderful fountain of knowledge, offering many useful tips. The truffles we made looked amazing and so impressive, especially all boxed up!

    The truffle making class that I attended a few months back was absolutely amazing. I felt very lucky that my friend and I had the space to ourselves to create chocolate masterpieces. The instructor was very kind and provided us a small breakfast since our class was early in the day. P.S. that snack included chocolate. The chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate-covered bananas were absolutely tasty. The truffle making experience was simple and to the point. The best part was that you get to take a box of chocolates home along with the ganache that you made for your chocolate strawberries and frozen banana pops. I would definitely recommend this class to all chocolate lovers.

    I absolutely loved this class--it was wonderful to learn more about what aspects of the processing or growing process produces different types of results in chocolate. I also very much appreciated the accommodation the teachers made so that I could take part in the class (I got injured and couldn't stand at the prep table; they got a smaller table and chair so that I could still attend.)

The right event should balance educational elements with engaging activities to maintain interest among participants. Additionally, consider the setting; an inviting location can enhance the overall experience.

  • Look for events that include both tasting and hands-on chocolate-making activities.
