Rich, indulgent chocolates may be a classic Valentine’s Day gift, but how much more romantic and intimate would they be if you made them yourself?

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Emily Zimmerman is offering this fun, hands-on workshop introducing basic techniques for chocolate and truffle making. Participants will leave with a box full of delicious handmade chocolates made with organic, fairly-traded and locally processed ChocoSol chocolate, as well as a recipe pack, and the skills and inspiration to make all kinds of seductive sweets.

In this class you’ll learn how to make: chocolate-dipped dried fruit, salty, sweet & smoky maple-coconut “bacon” with chocolate drizzle, and three kinds of truffles: cherry cordial, cinnamon spice and vanilla roses.

All chocolates will be vegan and nut-free.
