Come to our small batch craft chocolate factory/shop and make a personalized Box of Chocolates! Choose your size project, your type of chocolate and toppings to put on top. Then hang out in the front patio decorating your wooden box using our very extensive "Art Supplies Bar". Workshops take about 1-2 hours depending on the size box and the effort you put into decorating it. (Above times are available times to reserve between, not length of the class.)
