Fun class where you get to eat lots of chocolate! Useful if you've never made chocolate ganache before, but very much an introductory course. Good option for a team building exercise or something different with friends.

The class was very easy and delicious - we had samples to try. We even took stuff home. Roni-Sue is a great hostess.

The truffle making class that I attended a few months back was absolutely amazing. I felt very lucky that my friend and I had the space to ourselves to create chocolate masterpieces. The instructor was very kind and provided us a small breakfast since our class was early in the day. P.S. that snack included chocolate. The chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate-covered bananas were absolutely tasty. The truffle making experience was simple and to the point. The best part was that you get to take a box of chocolates home along with the ganache that you made for your chocolate strawberries and frozen banana pops. I would definitely recommend this class to all chocolate lovers.

It was great! Really enjoyed the tasting and learned so much about chocolate and the different types. Had a blast making the truffles and loved that it is an easy recipe I feel I can replicate at home. Thanks so much for the experience!

Class was so awesome! Learned so much about chocolate. Rhonda was an amazing teacher and instructor. She had so many "insider tips" on making truffles, and on the chocolate industry in general. Class was very conversational, and Rhonda answered a lot of our questions about chocolate. 100% recommend this class. Perfect for any chocolate lover.

I absolutely loved this class--it was wonderful to learn more about what aspects of the processing or growing process produces different types of results in chocolate. I also very much appreciated the accommodation the teachers made so that I could take part in the class (I got injured and couldn't stand at the prep table; they got a smaller table and chair so that I could still attend.)

The chocolate was delicious and learning the process was fun. However, there was not enough focus on the chocolate-making versus chocolate industry. We did not get to role or form the truffles in class which was a downer.

This class was fun and educational. You get to try chocolate samples from all over the world, ranging in different %s. I thought there would have been a little more of the cooking aspect, but overall it was a good class to take.

The class was really informative and a great intro to chocolate. It would have been nice to make at least one more thing though. 3/4 of the class was instruction and chocolate tasting and only the last bit was spent working with the chocolate. Overall we really enjoyed it!

Honestly didn't expect too much from it. But I have to say it absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way--from the hot cocoa to warm us up from the cold, to the exquisite chocolates and Roni's widespread knowledge & teaching ability, it was great. We had some wine as we tasted different chocolates and then transitioned to making our own truffles--the toppings were wonderful additions! And the outdoor patio is beautiful and the brick wall to take photos. Highly recommend to singles or couples; it's a small intimate space. :)
