CHOCOLATE MAKING

Well suited for birthdays, bachelorette parties, corporate team building, groups of friends, families, or bridal showers, in our chocolate making class, your private group - of up to 18 - will work together in making their very own bars of chocolate from scratch. Starting with single-origin ground nibs, sugar, and cocoa butter - over the course of two hours - you’ll take the journey of refining these ingredients into molten chocolate, where you’ll then hand temper the chocolate using a marble slab, cast your chocolate into bar molds, and wrap the bars yourselves.

This road to a hands-on crash course in chocolate making includes a destination of a homemade take-home bar of chocolate. Along the way, you’ll embark on an expedition of:

Chocolate making with a modular mobile chocolate making lab*
Chocolate making education, with an emphasis on the aspects relevant to the particular class
Tempering and wrapping your bar(s) to take home
*Attendees will work as a group to refine chocolate and will then temper their finished chocolate bars; up to 9 individuals can work in a group and this class accommodates up to 18
**Due to inherent time constraints of the class, the bar will not be entirely refined, though it will be more than refined enough to temper and enjoy
***Fresh cacao pod upon availability

Chocolate making classes start at $50 per person with a $150 minimum in the Big Bear Area. A class size 6 attendees - or a $300 minimum - is required throughout Southern California, and this class can accommodate up to 18 attendees.
