We really enjoyed this workshop. If you want more history or an intro to chocolate-making, I would suggest looking at one of the other options in York, but we had a great time and came away with delicious chocolate bars.

If you love chocolate and want to make your own bar with a choice of flavour, then go for it. Our teacher was knowledgeable and presented the whole process of chocolate making, starting with cocoa pods, in a very accessible way for all ages. It was great fun to make your own chocolate bar, choosing your own flavour, and a range of other treats added into the chocolate to design your own chocolate bar.

it was SO good. I was worried it would be just decorating chocolate , or just walking round the factory. but it was SO informational in such a fun and interactive way! perfect for any and all ages, the only thing i will say is i saw zero accommodations for wheelchairs since the tables were higher than normal tables and there were cables all over the floor BUT the staff were so lovely i bet they’d get something sorted in a jiffy. my partner and i bought a pack of chocolate truffles on our way out, hoping to be a special treat and we inhaled them after getting home they were so good. there were a possible 16 people there and it was very close knit and interactive, im very socially anxious and i still really enjoyed myself.
