The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about cocoa beans from around the world and walked us through the entire process from harvesting the bean to pouring out delicious chocolate into moulds. I learned a TON about different chocolate and got to sample chocolate of different compositions and flavors from around the world. Watching my daughter make chocolate and leave so happy made this experience worth it. We had an awesome time and would definitely do this again.”
