Our trip to Brussels was a last minute decision, and we were literally booking lodgings and checking out events on our way there. The idea of making our own chocolates sounded like a cute thing to do, and we ended up having a REALLY good time. The product that you produce and get to bring home is excellent quality, and it's a really neat experience to be part of a group, all creating something that you've never done before! We had a great luck getting to spend the afternoon with Titch.

DUE TO CORONA RESTRICTIONS WE ONLY ORGANIZE PRIVATE WORKSHOPS AT THE MOMENT. The fee is 45eur per person, min 2 participants.

During this 2.5-hour workshop you’ll learn how to temper chocolate and, from it, craft 2 types of Belgian chocolates:

Pralines: The most famous Belgian chocolate, consisting of a delicate chocolate shell with a creamy filing. You’ll learn how to make both the shell and the filling from scratch!

Mendiants: Chocolate discs studded with dried fruits. Crispy and delicious!

You’ll make at least 30 chocolates, which you can either eat on the spot or take home to family and friends.

With our easy technique and chocolate theory, you’ll be able to make your own chocolates once you return home!

Please note that we currently only offer dark chocolate workshops.

Suitable for vegetarians. Vegan workshops are available upon request.

All workshops are in English.
