Fun Chocolate Truffle Workshop

Celebrate the bittersweet (maybe mostly sweet) end of a working week, by making your very own chocolate, in this fun and playful class. Perfect for a casual and hands-on introduction to chocolate making, in a real chocolate factory. You won't be making chocolate from cocoa, but you will be making and enjoying amazing chocolate truffles.

You'll first whet your appetite, by learning about the history of chocolate and about how chocolate is made, as well as about the different types of chocolate. You'll do this while sipping on a hot chocolate, made from a 17th century recipe.

You'll then choose a mould and make your own yummy filled chocolate. Fill your mould with one flavour, or combine multiple flavours - the choice is yours.

While the chocolate sets, you can keep your hands busy dipping strawberries, marshmallows, Turkish Delights and nuts into your choice of milk or dark chocolate, in a lovely fondue.

Once the chocolate sets, you'll get to taste your creations, and you'll also get a box to take home the chocolates that you don't finish in the class (you'll be making a fairly big batch, so it's quite likely that you'll have leftovers!)

Throughout the class, you'll be provided with demonstrations and feedback from chocolatier Joseph, who's been running these workshops for almost 15 years.

Treat yourself to a fantastic time, and bring along a friend or someone special to make it even sweeter. Feel free to BYO if you think it will help to get those creative juices flowing.

The emphasis of this class is on having fun, enjoying and learning about chocolate. For a more in-depth class where you'll learn tempering and chocolate melting, try the ultimate chocolate making class.

This class is suitable for kids from approx 10 years old and up; they'll need to be accompanied by parents / guardians.

This class is great for private events. If you have slightly less than 10 people in your group, we can still run the class (it's just that the price per person may be slightly higher). The class can also be held at your venue (in this case the maximum number of guests is 15). Please get in touch for details.

As featured on the Today Show and Around The Clock Foodie.

Please arrive by 6.45pm for a 7pm start (Friday classes), or by 12.45pm for a 1pm start (Saturday classes)

My name is Joseph, and I started Kimberley Chocolates to produce high quality chocolates in Sydney. I held a BSc in Food Science, and wanted to make great chocolate more accessible to our community, including by combining it with flavours like chilli, lemon myrtle, and quandong (Australia's 'native peach'). Kimberley Chocolates won the gold award at the Royal Easter Show Chocolate Competition, and I started to appear on the media more often. People started contacting me to learn more about chocolates, and I realised that there is a great need for chocolate education, and that's where our chocolate workshops started.

I also spent some time in the laboratories of perfume houses before, where I gained some interesting skills in fragrance making, which I love to share.

My teaching style is playful and fun, and very hands on - the more sampling and laughing that happens, the better!
