Limited to 15 participants.
Repeating event. Participants welcome at any session
Fee: 8.00 for cost of materials

This singular event is a combination cooking class and informal food science lab. We'll have more chocolate and cream than you know what to do with, and a wide selection of flavorings to try out. We'll cover making truffles with extracts, infusions, and liqueurs, along with molding and dipping techniques. And best of all, you get to take them home afterwards.

This is a two-part, one-day event running from 10-2 and 4-8 pm, to allow for the chocolate ganache to chill before we practice rolling and dipping the truffles. Choose any of the three days, but sign up quickly!
