We were delighted to be invited to run a chocolate workshop for a Year 4 class who had been studying Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the journey of the Cocoa Bean to a Chocolate Bar.

The class were super excited for a morning of fun and education which started with an explanation of how the Chocolate Callets were prepared in The MeltinChoc and a briefing on Branding and Marketing, before they were split into groups to design their own chocolate wrappers, weigh and pack ingredients and (the most exciting part of all) to make their own lollipops and dip some marshmallows. As it was just before Easter, some of the marshmallows were shaped like cute chicks.

We always make adjustments for Vegetarian, Vegan and Special Diets so everyone was able to take part in the dipping.

After break and whilst the chocolate dried came the History of Chocolate, reinforcing what they had already researched and learnt about Cocoa production and then more excitement with chocolate tasting!

Year 4 then went back to the workshop area, where they package all their goodies.We had such a delightful morning with these lovely students and hope to visit other schools soon for more chocolate fun.

After the workshop we received the following testimonial from the Year 4 Teacher

Testimonial: Anne and Caroline ran an excellent workshop where the class got hands-on experience working with chocolate and making chocolate lollies. This was followed by an informative and engaging session on the history of chocolate. The chocolate tasting was a highlight for the class! The workshop was thoroughly enjoyed by children and staff and it was the talk of the school afterwards!

Kind regards
