This online chocolate making session enables us to work through three different chocolate recipes together while you are in your own home or workspace, all the while being able to communicate and see myself and other participants...as near to a face to face course as possible, while apart! You will be making approx 30 chocolates with a view of using them for Christmas presents for friends and family! You will be provided with 4 presentation boxes which hold 6 chocolates each (leaves a few spare so you can taste your delicious goodies right away!). 

For obvious reasons the flavours are intentionally universal so accommodate most tastes - caramel, strawberry, vanilla and orange (although the orange is optional).

The session will be around 2 to 2.5 hours. Places will be limited, so we can work through each stage efficiently. 

This particular session is suitable for those who are keen in the kitchen, but no prior chocolate work skills are necessary. You will receive videos for some fundamental skills in advance to help you on your way if required. You can have more than one person in your house/workspace working along with the recipe (just register one person/space), as long as you are happy they are on the Zoom online session. This particular course is ideal for kids to be involved at certain stages.

The ingredients required are whipping cream, orange extract, glucose, butter, sea salt flakes, pureed strawberries, vanilla extract/essence, **Callebaut dark chocolate (type 811), **Callebaut milk chocolate (type 823), **Callebaut white chocolate (type W2),**Callebaut Gold, **cocoa butter patterned transfer sheet, **milk and white hollow truffle spheres, **dark chocolate carved cups, **fudge pieces,**mini crisp pearls,**presentation boxes and lids, **inserts for boxes, ** 4 disposable piping bags.

The items with ** in front of them are the ones Taystful will send you in the ingredients pack. Once you have registered, you will receive more in depth information (eg quantities). Normal kitchen utensils will be required, but a microwave would be essential. You'll receive more info on this after registering. 

Strawberry puree can be simply made by blitzing fresh or defrosted frozen berries with a hand/stick blender or liquidiser and passed through a sieve (discard the seeds). You could use raspberries if you prefer.
