Schools

If you are looking for an exciting way to introduce your pupils to chocolate in the curriculum we can provide it.  We offer an interactive talk and demonstration which we can tailor to meet your requirements.  Topics we can cover include: 

  • The history of chocolate, from Mayans and Aztecs to the present day
  • The science of chocolate
  • How chocolate is grown and made
  • Fair trade and similar schemes
  • Pairing chocolate with different flavours
  • Making different items from chocolate

We bring cocoa pods and beans for the children to handle, chocolate for tasting, and pictures to pass round.  We always temper chocolate and demonstrate making something.

You have the option to add on chocolate making for the pupils (and staff!) after the demonstration if you wish.  Popular choices include chocolate lollipops, hand rolled truffles and small painted or piped plaques.

We can supply you with details in advance so pupils can pre-design their chocolates, make boxes and label chocolates correctly if you would like us to do so. Depending on the size of your group and how long we are with you, we may also help you with some chocolate-themed art work.

We also offer stand alone hands on making sessions, skills sessions, making for special needs groups and fun activities for school boarders in the evenings.

I really enjoyed holding the cocoa bean it was fascinatingly awesome.

"I enjoyed the chocolate workshop because the making truffles was very satisfying and was so tempting to eat all of it. It was good to learn the history of the chocolate. It was interesting to actually touch a cocoa bean in real life. I loved the experience."

"Thank you for yesterday it was a great afternoon, one which I really enjoyed as did the children. They were much enthused by the idea of making their own eggs. We had a super egg making day today, and in two's made a mould's worth of eggs., mixing white and milk chocolate to make interesting patterns. We also painted white chocolate in the way you showed us, so we did learn a lot too. Many thanks."
