Roni-Sue shares techniques for creating your own flavored chocolate ganache fillings.

Take home your handmade truffles and a container of ganache to make more later.

  5. After the tasting, guests enjoy one of our handcrafted chocolate truffles for some inspiration.
  6. Next, we'll don our aprons and make chocolate ganache (container is taken home for "homework").
  7. We'll then outfit everyone with gloves and hand roll and finish a dozen truffles using several different toppings.
  8. We'll then pack up the truffles and ganache we made, and everyone will receive a handout with the recipe for basic truffles.
  9. Satisfied guests head back out into the real world of NYC, bellies filled with chocolate!

    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!

    Fun class where you get to eat lots of chocolate! Useful if you've never made chocolate ganache before, but very much an introductory course. Good option for a team building exercise or something different with friends.

    The class was very easy and delicious - we had samples to try. We even took stuff home. Roni-Sue is a great hostess.

    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.

    It was great! Really enjoyed the tasting and learned so much about chocolate and the different types. Had a blast making the truffles and loved that it is an easy recipe I feel I can replicate at home. Thanks so much for the experience!

    Just amazing. The class was fun, informative and just all around great. Also we took home a bunch of treats. I would recommend this class to anyone that likes chocolate. The teacher really has passion about chocolate and it shows in the teaching.

    Class was so awesome! Learned so much about chocolate. Rhonda was an amazing teacher and instructor. She had so many "insider tips" on making truffles, and on the chocolate industry in general. Class was very conversational, and Rhonda answered a lot of our questions about chocolate. 100% recommend this class. Perfect for any chocolate lover.

    Fantastic class - learned a ton about the chocolate making world, what makes a good chocolate, and even got to taste a bunch of different types of chocolates. Perfect place for a date or birthday present!

    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 chocolate was delicious and learning the process was fun. However, there was not enough focus on the chocolate-making versus chocolate industry. We did not get to role or form the truffles in class which was a downer.

    This class was fun and educational. You get to try chocolate samples from all over the world, ranging in different %s. I thought there would have been a little more of the cooking aspect, but overall it was a good class to take.

    Fun, very informative, but you do quite little in terms of actual cooking which was a little disappointing.
