What types of classes/menus can I choose from?
Whatever your palate prefers, you’re sure to find a chocolate making class to please it. Perhaps you love the deep richness of dark chocolate or the decadent sweetness of white chocolate? Or maybe your childhood love for milk chocolate is a vice you never managed to grow out of. From exploring centuries-old chocolate-making traditions to dabbling in more contemporary approaches, there is a chocolatier course in America’s Finest City for chocoholics of all persuasions.
Where do the classes take place?

Of course, if you’d prefer to do the hosting at your house or another hired venue, that’s fine too. All your chef needs is a clean and functional kitchen, plus enough space for everybody in the class to work safely. Provided that’s in place, they’ll gladly come to you, bringing with them everything needed for the class, including equipment and all ingredients.
