Make a 200g chocolate bar at York Cocoa Works, learning tempering and cocoa origins, then wrap your creation to take home.

“We did the chocolate bar making workshop at the York Cocoa Works as a Valentine's Day activity. We had such a fun time making the chocolate, each stage was explained extremely clearly and the flavourings and toppings were really varied. We also got to learn about the chocolate making process right from harvesting to producing the chocolate. We would absolutely recommend this activity for all ages, such a unique and fun activity to do in York!”
