Forget about buying Valentine’s Day chocolates for your sweetheart this year – make them instead! Boston Chocolate School, located at the Elephant & Castle Restaurant in the Financial District, is hosting chocolate-making “classes no one wants to cut” every Saturday at 1:00 PM.
Arrive with a group of friends or that special someone, and prepare to be greeted with a warm cup of the best hot chocolate that you have ever had. While sipping, sit back, relax, and enjoy a little history about chocolate (from bean to bar) as told by Dorian McCarron, renowned Boston pastry chef, winner of The Food Network’s second season of Sweet Genius, and lover of chocolate (so much so that he has not gone a day in 12 years without eating chocolate in some form!)
Once your history lesson has concluded, it is time for the real fun to begin – you have the rest of the afternoon to roll, dip, garnish, and consume your very own (quite delicious) truffles. But just a fair warning: once you have tasted a homemade truffle, you will never want to store-buy them again – so thank goodness that you get a list of recipes to bring home with you at the end of the day!
Moral of the story: don’t spend another boring Valentine’s Day eating boxed candy with your friends or partner – get out, and do something new and exciting that allows you to head home with boxes of chocolate! CLICK HERE for more information about Boston Chocolate School.
