1.5h Hands on Chocolate Workshop : トリュフ＆ホットチョコレート

Whenever I travel, I always try to squeeze in an emersion experience. So when in Brussels, it’s got to be chocolate! My friends and I took the class with Moses. He was very patient and amiable, walking us through the recipes. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves learning the art of making truffles and delicious hot cocoa. Who knew hot cocoa could be improved upon in such a yummy way! The class is only an 1.5 hours, which surprisingly was ample time for us to make plenty of truffles. If you’re looking for a taste of chocolate-making fun, this is it. Would highly recommend the class.

We wanted an immersion experience with chocolate and this class was just the ticket! We really enjoyed the experience of making our own truffles! And who knew hot chocolate could taste so good!!! Our instructor Moses was wonderfully engaging and encouraging! At the end, we consumed delicious Belgium hot Chocolate (would recommend a hint of flavor like cinnamon or pumpkin spice) and brought home a bag of our personalized handmade bag of truffles. Highly recommend this workshop!!!

It was a fun family activity and the treats were tasty.

Amazing truffle-making class! Anna was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and easy to follow. The ingredients were top quality, and the truffles turned out absolutely delicious. I learned great techniques and left with beautiful handmade chocolates. Highly recommend for anyone who loves chocolate or wants a unique experience!

Overall it was a pleasant experience due in part to the humor of an American couple also participating in the event. The instructor spoke to quickly for those who did not have English as a native language (my partner). If such people do not have experience in cooking/baking this could be a difficult experience. Irritating was that the instructor disappeared into the kitchen to check on her smartphone while we were left to our own devices. As a result I had to go consult her on a number of occasions to ensure that we were not going wrong. She was friendly as I interrupted however I did not like this feeling of having to interrupt her surfing. The instructor should always be in the same room moving from participant group to participant group. With our combined skills (language and baking) we go through the exercise quite well. Without this combination it would have been difficult (as for another couple who were stuck with a very salty hot chocolate!)

Lots of stairs to the second floor but the pace was nice and there was a ton of great info. An abundance of chocolate as well! 10 out of ten stars!

Had a fantastic time! Highly recommend!

Great time, easy to find and well ran experience. Would recommend if ever in Brussels. Thank you for the good time.

We did truffles and hot chocolate making. Pros- it was great to hear the history of chocolate and explanation of the percentage of cocoa solids etc. It was fun making the truffles and hot chocolate and they both tasted great. I really enjoyed the hot chocolate. The music played in the background was great and created a fun atmosphere. Cons- the facilitator seemed a bit distracted. She gave a fairly quick explanation of what to do and pointed us to the recipe and instruction cards on the table then she disappears into the back office. She came to check on our group a few times, but I would expect for the expensive money I paid that the facilitator would be there consistently to help us and advise us. Some items like milk and utensils were missing and group members had to tell the facilitator who "forgot" to bring them out. Again one would imagine you prep everything properly before a class. It was great to meet other students in the class and have a little chat but I think the atmosphere could have been even more fun and lively and the price is far too expensive for what the activity is.

Anna did a wonderful job of teaching us how to make our own delicious Belgian chocolate truffles. She was charming and knowledgeable. Our entire e working with her and with each other. Such a lovely way to spend our afternoon in Brussels!
