Event Itinerary:
- Guests will arrive & store their coats & bags, etc.
- Weather permitting, guests can await the rest of the party in our backyard garden.
- Once everyone is present, we'll move inside to our tasting stations to begin the guided tasting.
- Wine is poured and guests will be treated to an interactive discussion and craft chocolate tasting lasting approximately 40 minutes.
- After the tasting guests enjoy one of our handcrafted chocolate truffles for some inspiration.
- Next, we'll don our aprons and learn to make chocolate ganache (container is taken home for 'homework').
- We'll then outfit everyone with gloves and hand roll and finish a dozen truffles using several different toppings.
- We'll then pack up the truffles and ganache we made and everyone will receive a handout with the recipe for basic truffles.
- Satisfied guests head back out into the real world of NYC, bellies filled with chocolate!
About the Instructor:
Classes are taught by Roni-Sue herself or by our GM Sharon.

Both Roni & Sharon are partners in a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in Belize where they learned all about growing cacao and making delicious chocolate from it!

Our production kitchen/classroom/event space on the LES has 1,000 sq ft of flexible indoor space and a large beautiful (partially tented) backyard garden. Everybody wants to party in a chocolate shop!
