SMALL-BATCH CHOCOLATE MAKING INTENSIVE

This is our advanced level chocolate making class for budding home chocolate makers and folks who want to get down to the real nibby gritty and cover everything in the process, some cracking, winnowing, grinding, and more; we cover everything except for hand tempering. You'll work as a team with other class participants to make chocolate from scratch as you would at home, with DIY and tabletop equipment; like an intense cooking class, but with chocolate; be prepared to get a little messy. You will go home with untempered portions of your very own dark chocolate. Classes are two and a half hours long and all participants must be at least 12-years-old. All participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.
