It was a very fun experience! The teacher was great. She was straight to the point, funny and friendly. The chocolate we made came out very nicely so that was a plus. The venue was not difficult to find either. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Belgium and definitely would recommend to anyone who’s interested in making some Belgian chocolate.

Fun Experience

Kurt_B, Sept 2023

Fun Experience, highly recommend. Instructor made it interesting and Fun. Left with a box of hand made Chocolate. Enjoyed the Music during the workshop

Kelly made it deliciously simple!!!

Karen_W, Sept 2023

Our instructor Kelly was awesome. We had such a good time learning to make chocolates. Going into the class, I was looking forward to EATING the chocolates we’d make but I had no intention of ever trying to replicate it at home. The class was so fun that my husband and I now plan to start making chocolate pralines at home. They were delicious and Kelly made the whole process seem simple. We can’t wait to make them on our own now. We also enjoyed getting to know our classmates and talking to them about their travels. The whole evening was fabulous.

A Sweet Experience

Had a wonderful experience. Amina was fun and made the whole experience enjoyable. And we got to take our creations back home to the US. Would highly recommend it as a family experience.

Amazing

Vaila_W, Aug 2023

Fun and enjoyable to make our very own chocolate whilst in Brussels. Very professional and host had a good sense of humour

Great day with the family!

Eileen_A, Aug 2023

Ghazal was the absolute best teacher! Fun and light; charming and patient! She had time for everyone in the room ( there were 20 of us) Fun afternoon with a delicious result. Highly recommend!

Fun family activity!

sherylkhill, Aug 2023

We had a wonderful time making our own chocolates! It was fun to learn how to make the molds and fill them. We each came away with our own box! The chocolates actually travel well as some actually made it home so we could share with family. We will try to recreate!

Educationally fun

Glenn_M, July 2023

Funny experience creating some of the most iconic Belgian delicacies. While creating and preparing the ingredients there are some trivias and some more informations about these sweets

A fun experience worth the short walk!

Lauren_G, July 2023

We enjoyed this workshop! It was a lot of fun, and even with a full class, everyone had a chance to make their own full box of chocolates. The location was a bit off the beaten path, but it was walkable from the city center- and the walk was worth it! Our instructor was fun and shared some of the history of the chocolates we made. We would recommend!

Strongly recommend

lars_h, July 2023

Can strongly recommend! Excellent workshop with stories told nicely, lots of chocolate to bring home, and very nice leaders to hold it.

Great fun and yummy chocolates!

JV_K, July 2023

We had a great time at this workshop. I had done a chocolate workshop before in the UK but this one was better. We thought it was very good value for money considering how much a box of chocolates would cost you at one of the fancy shops in Brussels. We were provided with good equipment and very good quality chocolate. Instructions were clear and we were amazed how professional our chocolates looked and how great they tasted. We would definitely recommend this as a fun way to spend a couple of hours in Brussels.

We loved it!

Sabine_B, July 2023

We had a fun time during our workshop. It was impressive how easy it was to make really delicious pralines. We definately will recommend it to our friends!

Fantastic experience making pralines

Fenix_A, July 2023

Had a wonderful time making authentic Belgian pralines. Laura, our baking instructor, did a great job.

For the chocolate lover in you

Chanda_R, June 2023

Very fun class. Even though I was late, I was still able to participate and make the chocolates. Chocolate everywhere! Quite messy but very fun! The teacher was super nice and personable. Explained all steps of the process and helped to ensure success of the process. Very recommended.

Workshop missed.

Judith_K, June 2023

I don’t have any, because you changed the venue and did not notify us. My daughter and I took a cab and went to the address we had. She and the driver tried to find the right one and the driver left her after being lost for 20 minutes and she had call an Uber to get to the hotel because she didn’t know where she was. I am subtracting the price we paid as I should charge you for the Uber also but I not pay for the workshop as we could not attend as it was your problem.

Awesome Experience

Urvi_Z, June 2023

It was worth it; not only do you get the opportunity to make chocolates, but you also bond with others. It is a must-do experience.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

jameirafelder123, June 2023

This was the best experience we had in Brussels! Well worth the money. We got to make SEVERAL pieces of our own chocolate with various fillings and flavors, learn the process, sip on delicious hot chocolate, and meet new people. If you’re thinking about booking this, do it!

A fun class

April_F, June 2023

Hosts were great. Set up not too crowded. We were split into 2 groups. One group went upstairs. We were part of the group working on the ground floor. There were 3 tables, each set up with 3 stations. Each station meant for 2 people. It was fun having the chance to get creative. We each got a chocolate mold that makes 21 chcolates to be filled. We also got a piece of wax paper about 5x5 inches to get creative with the remaining chocolate.

Yummy experience

Wendy_B, June 2023

My friend and I really enjoyed the chocolate-making experience. We learned a lot. I never knew there was a rose chocolate. We also learned about the different percentages of chocolate and how they are arrived at. Very informative instructors who really enjoy teaching us. Also the chocolates were amazing!

10/10

Nicola_W, June 2023

Amy was amazing! We had the best time learning about different types of chocolates and making our own individual ones. I would highly recommend doing this class if you are visiting Brussels. 10/10!!
