Our chocolate candy-making workshops are some of our most popular, and it's been a while since we've given any! Almost everybody loves to get a gift of homemade candy or be able to whip up a batch of something incredible for family or guests when they're visiting.Chocolate Truffles can feel daunting to make without an experienced guiding hand to help you. This workshop sees that you go home with those skills.
We start with an introduction to chocolate, including tempering methods. We move on to how to make the perfect ganache filling using exotic herbs, liquor enhanced truffles, and then tackle some classic nut recipes. Once you learn the basic technique to create four distinct truffles, students will then be taught how to expand upon these recipes to make endless variations of the classic.
Truffles Taught:
Tea/herb infused Truffle such as Lemon Verbena Dark Chocolate
Grand Marnier Truffle with Candied Orange Zest
Gianduja Truffle
Classic Chocolate Truffles in Milk and Dark Chocolate
Examples of white chocolate fillings will also be shown and recipe guidelines for white, milk, and dark chocolate centers will be provided and discussed.recipes, a gift box, and supplier sourcing information.
When you're giving a gift this year, show off your culinary skills with a designer box of chocolate truffles. No one will be able to resist!
