King School

Chocolate Truffle making workshop at King School for Lori Auletta’s environmental group. Our after school projects explored with the kids where Chocolate comes from, what a Cocoa Bean is, how to separate the Cocoa Butter   from the Beans and how to roast them. We shared what the different types of Chocolate are and understood the difference between White Chocolate, Bitter-Sweet Chocolate, Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Un-Sweetened Chocolate. We tried our hands and rolling and dipping Chocolate Truffles and learned the hands on skill of piping melted Chocolate into the students own shapes and designs for decorations. And of course we ate a lot of Chocolate!!
