Chocolate Making Class at Maison Cailler

It all starts with the cocoa bean.  Having been around for 200 years, Cailler is Switzerland’s oldest chocolate brand.  Our group was fortunate enough to take a chocolate making class.  Led by a chocolatier, we learned the art of tempering and ganache-making to create our own chocolate bars to take home to friends and family.  There’s definitely an art to it, but it wasn’t as difficult as I expected.  Once I find the right YouTube video, I’d give it another whirl to create some homemade chocolate from my own kitchen.  Another fun idea to do with kids or even on a group date night.
