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!

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!

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.
