Festive Chocolate Bark Workshop
Step into the cosy festive world of artisan chocolate at Craft House Chocolate and create your own beautifully handcrafted Christmas chocolate bark.
On arrival you’ll be welcomed with a rich, indulgent festive hot chocolate while you settle into our chocolate studio ready for a relaxed and creative seasonal workshop.
During the class you’ll learn the fundamentals of chocolate tempering — the essential chocolatier skill that gives chocolate its glossy finish, crisp snap and professional texture. You’ll work with quality couverture chocolate and discover how to spread, texture and finish your bark in a natural artisan style.
You’ll create a selection of festive chocolate bark combinations using a wide range of seasonal ingredients and flavour pairings. Guests can customise their bark with ingredients such as:
* Freeze dried strawberries, raspberries and cranberries
* Candied orange pieces
* Roasted nuts, hazelnuts or walnuts
* Crushed festive biscuits
* Mini marshmallows
* Edible gold accents
* Christmas spice blends
* Sea salt flakes
* Caramelised nuts and crunchy inclusions
As part of the workshop you’ll also create elegant chocolate mediants, traditional French style chocolate discs decorated with festive toppings and finished with professional cacao butter transfer sheets. You’ll learn how transfer sheets are used to create colourful cocoa butter designs and polished decorative finishes often seen in artisan chocolateries.
Throughout the session we’ll explore:
* Chocolate tempering techniques
* Working with couverture chocolate
* Layering inclusions for flavour and texture
* Creating rustic artisan bark finishes
* Using cacao butter transfer sheets
* Decorative finishing techniques
* Balancing flavour combinations and textures
Your finished chocolate creations will be packaged for you to take home, making them perfect for gifting, sharing over Christmas, or enjoying yourself with a festive drink.
A relaxed, creative and chocolate filled festive experience perfect for beginners, friends, couples or anyone wanting a seasonal artisan workshop experience.
