Chocolate Making Class With a Local Chef in Dallas

Forget the candy aisle. At a lively Dallas brewery, you’ll learn how to turn chocolate, cream and a few craveable toppings into handmade truffles that look almost too good to eat. You’ll begin by combining semi-sweet chocolate, heavy cream, butter and vanilla extract to create a smooth, velvety ganache, then learn how chilling affects texture and makes shaping easier.

Next, you’ll portion and roll the ganache into individual chocolate truffles, practicing simple techniques for consistent shapes and a clean finish. Customize each one with cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, crushed cookies and chopped pecans or almonds, adding color, crunch and plenty of personality. No advanced skills required, just a willingness to get a little chocolate on your hands. Between the brewery atmosphere, hands-on creativity and inevitable taste-testing, you’ll leave with sweet new skills and an assortment of truffles ready for your next celebration, homemade gift or late-night chocolate emergency.
