What Can I Expect

We love choc, so this deluxe chocolate making offer is a cocoa-filled winner of an experience for all chocoholics. The workshop gives you the chance to pipe, shape, coat and create your own chocolates. Count us in!

When you arrive at the Manchester, Birmingham or Leeds venues, you'll be greeted by the expert chocolatier, who'll explain how everything is going to work. You will be assigned a specific workstation, with all the ingredients, utensils and things like disposable aprons and gloves all ready for you.

Your host has a wealth of fun and fascinating chocolate facts to entertain you with. And as a nice little opener to your luxury choc making extravaganza, there'll be a quiz choc-full of chocolatey questions for you.

After the chat, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. You will be using good quality 65% cocoa dark chocolate to create Belgian truffles by hand. Once you've made the ganache, you'll turn to cutting, rolling, dipping and decorating with desiccated coconut or cocoa powder.

As this is the Deluxe workshop, you'll be making a decent quantity of chocolates. Even if you sample a few of your creations as you go, the most fervent chocoholic won't get through all the truffles you'll have made. Expect to have between 20 and 30 that you can take home and offer as gifts - or just scoff by yourself!

It's also worth noting that these workshops can be adapted to suit vegans, vegetarians and those with lactose intolerance, using plan-based cream rather than dairy cream. All other ingredients are gluten free and chocolate can be Kosher if required. Just let the team know when booking your date.

And finally, we know it sounds cheesy, but this chocolate making offer won't be around forever, so if you fancy a couple of hours creating, coating and packaging deluxe Belgian truffles, grab this special deal now.
