How to Throw a Virtual Chocolate Tasting Party

How to Throw a Virtual Chocolate Tasting Party


By ClassBento Team

What's sweeter than homemade chocolate? A virtual chocolate tasting session with your family and friends where you can all share the gooey goodness together! From the comfort of your own respective homes, you can all tune into an online class where you'll learn all about chocolate. As you learn, you'll taste some choice delicacies that will be sent to you lovingly packed into a chocolate tasting kit. 

These online chocolate making classes already sound tempting, to begin with, but what if we told you that it gets even better? Now, you can become a confectionary pro by learning how to make chocolate at home!

Even if you’re just a beginner at candy making or just have a massive sweet tooth, expect to pick up a wealth of skills in this virtual experience. Learn how to temper chocolate, distinguish different types of chocolate, and mix it up with unique flavors and ingredients. You’ll also learn interesting facts plus a bit of chocolate history while you’re at it!

It’s such an easy activity to organize, too. Simply book the perfect date and time for you or your group, save the Zoom link, then wait for your truffle making kit to arrive. These curated boxes typically contain chocolate, essential tools, recipe cards, and other things you need for the class. And since these kits are home-delivered and can be shipped nationwide all over the US, you don’t have to worry about a thing!

Whether it’s for rainy day activities, things for couples to do at home, or virtual parties, trying out virtual chocolate tasting and dessert making is a fabulous treat.

Take a look below at some of the chocotastic classes waiting to be discovered!

Valentine’s Day, Mothers’ Day, or any other special occasions aren’t complete without those classy boxes filled with beautiful chocolate truffles. But if you’re looking for a more thoughtful gift, how about making them yourself? Better yet, share the experience with your nearest and dearest! Experience gifts involving chocolate never fail to satisfy. 

For a few hours, transform your kitchen into a chocolate lover’s paradise. Fill your home with the enticing smells of melted chocolate swirled with all sorts of flavors and ingredients as you make fudge and more. Learn how to mold your bonbons into elegant shapes after packing them with decadent fillings. Discover how to put finishing touches on your gorgeous treats and how to package them up like a pro!

Every piece will look like it’s been made by an experienced chocolate craftsman. At the end of your session, you will get to sample your masterpiece and revel in its rich chocolatey goodness.

Aside from walking you through different chocolate making techniques, friendly chocolatiers will also ensure the conversation flows as smoothly as luscious chocolate sauce. These classes are designed to be super casual and laid-back, so everyone will feel comfortable whether you’re joining solo, as a couple, or with the whole gang!

Because of this, virtual chocolate making makes for fantastic remote team buildings, too. Stir chocolate while catching up with your colleagues, or share your favorite treats you think others should try! You can also arrange for themed chocolate making activities for formal corporate functions, such as decorating the treats with your brand colors and designs. Ideal for small start-ups and big companies alike, these virtual courses will solve your hunt for the best virtual team building activities.

Plan a chocolatey surprise for your vegan friends

Chocolate is the perfect gift for everybody, and that includes your vegan buddies (or you, if you love vegan treats, also!). There are plenty of delicious vegan recipes for chocolate goodies that will satisfy any palate. 

Our online chocolate academy has a vegan workshop you can sign up for, with tons of sweet ideas for you and your friends to share. This dairy-free alternative to homemade chocolate is not only good for the environment, but it’s also a healthy option that even non-vegans will enjoy.

When it comes to vegan cookery, it doesn't have to be all vegetables and hummus! You can have your (chocolate) cake and eat it too. With our chocolate making kits geared specifically towards vegans, you'll get to enjoy a sweet treat and have a fun time learning, too. The best part is that you'll master homemade chocolate making techniques that you can repeat again and again. Perhaps the next time you have to make a birthday gift for another vegan friend, or bring a dish to a pot luck party, you'll be all set with a batch of wonderful vegan homemade chocolate truffles. 

There’s no need to fret - even if you and your friends are just beginners - when it comes to making vegan-friendly desserts. Every part of these online chocolate making classes will make you feel right at home. From friendly chocolate artisans who will virtually hold your hand throughout the process to the DIY kit that’s delivered straight to your door, it’s a stress-free experience from start to finish.
