How it works

Request your preferred time

We'll send a ClassBento Box to you (a craft kit with what you'll need). Shipping in the US is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. We ship nationwide.

Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.

What you'll do

Take chocolate to a whole new level by pairing it perfectly with your favorite beverages and a few choice wines.

In this engaging online class, you will sample ten different chocolates and learn how to pair them with wine and other drinks. Chocolatière Emma from Emma's Delights will talk about the different taste components of chocolate and wine and guide you through the principles of pairing. She will make a few suggestions on how best to pair each chocolate from your craft kit. A perfect topic for your team's Happy Hour!

You will have to provide your own drinks.

During the presentation you have time to ask questions, give feedback on the tasting, guess some answers to our questions about chocolate making and storing, and finally, you will also have a chance to win an extra box of 5 assorted Belgian chocolates during our pop-up quiz.

Nut free and vegan options available.

Booking your event at least 3 weeks in advance (5 weeks during holidays) will help your chances to secure your preferred day/time.
We will need all class details, including all shipping addresses 2 weeks prior to the date of your event.
Please inform us of any allergies before booking and we are happy to accommodate.
We ship by USPS Domestic First Class shipping a week before your event.
If we have to ship to warm weather locations ( 78°F+) we will need to add cold packs and will charge for the applicable kits after booking ($15).

Emma's Delights

Hi, I am Emma Martens, a Belgian chocolatière and owner of Emma's Delights, Belgian chocolates. I handcraft traditional Belgian chocolates in small batches and make all my own fillings from scratch with your well-being in mind, as well as sharing my passion by teaching others about chocolate.

Our mission is to combine the luxurious decadence of fine chocolates with the purity of healthy ingredients. That is why we do not use glucose in any of our chocolates and we only use organic cane sugar if we want to caramelize an ingredient. Our ganaches contain NO added sugars.
We want to share with you everything we know and help you have a go at making your own.

We welcome everyone in our classes and will help you explore new flavors and a new way to appreciate chocolate.
