What you'll learn in this chocolate class:

Treat yourself to sweets while learning the classic art of truffle making!

We begin with a guided tasting where we serve a bit of sparkling wine as a palate cleanser and welcome drink.

Highlights of this portion:

discussing and showing how chocolate is made
guided tasting of cacao bean, nibs and chocolate made with the same beans
tasting a dark chocolate bon-bon made with our own direct trade chocolate from Belize
exploring a few other cacao growing regions and tasting samples of chocolates from these countries
discussion of direct trade and single origin chocolate vs. commercial chocolate and commodity cacao
telling the stories of the farmers we work with in Belize and the local folks learning the craft of chocolate making
fielding questions from guests who want to delve into a particular aspect of chocolate more deeply
talking about the health benefits of eating dark chocolate and cacao

Next we head to the kitchen for the two hands-on portions. First guests make a box of a dozen chocolate truffles, hand-rolling and finishing them in a variety of toppings. The students are so proud of what they've created and the boxed truffles are a lovely take home!

Finally everyone makes a batch of fresh chocolate ganache to master that basic technique which they also take home to play with another day (or just eat out of the container with a spoon!!)

Minimum age to attend the class is 10 and must be accompanied by adult.

Please wear comfortable clothing -- not your fanciest please, and sensible shoes (you will be on your feet for most of the class).

Answer

Question from Amit H.

Hello, I want to know if you will teach how to make truffles with nut butter fillings. I came across a brand and love it and want to make my own at home. I am happy to bring along a jar of nut butter with me :-)

Answer from Rhonda K. Verified Educator

Hi, our public classes are already programmed with what we will make so it won’t be possible to incorporate something different on the fly. Also since other students my have nut allergies we don’t want that possible exposure. You can try googling a recipe for “buckeyes” & substituting your nut butter of choice for the usual peanut butter called for in the recipe. Happy experimenting!

Answer

Question from Jennifer W.

Can I bring my own bottle of wine?

Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff

Hi Jennifer! The instructor prefers not as it would exclude other students in the class. Hope this helps.

Answer

Question from Simon L.

Can I bring my own ingredients?

Answer from Rhonda K. Verified Educator

For what purpose? Are you dairy free? We prepare some ganache the day before so it will be set up enough to work with. We also teach you to make some ganache of your own that you take home as well. Bringing your own ingredients won’t work with our format. If you need accommodation for dairy free we can do that for you but it has to happen in advance. There is a $25 fee if needed which can be paid directly on class day.

The class was a great mix of informative and hands on. I learned a lot about the chocolate industry, enjoyed the sampling and getting to make my own truffles.

Reviewed by Rich E. on 4/15/2019

Excellent experience and learning. Plus, the group had a great vibe.

Reviewed by Lyndsie H. on 4/8/2019

The class was fun, educational, hands-on, and yummy. Would definitely recommend!

Reviewed by Anonymous on 3/27/2019

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.)

Reviewed by Anonymous on 3/15/2019

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.
