Chocolate Making 201 Class - December 6, 2025



This is the next level up and geared toward those that roughly know what it takes to make chocolate from scratch but need a little encouragement and security to jump from buying roasted nibs to whole raw cocoa beans.  It is a full day and geared a bit more for those that want to come in from farther away.  We’ll cover each step in a bit more detail than the Chocolate making 101 demo and there will be more hands on, tempering included. Sunday December 7, 2025, 9 am - 5 pm. Chocolate Workshop 201 Chocolate Alchemy 4065 W. 11th Ave Unit 29 Eugene OR 97402 We’ll cover
  • How different kinds of cocoa beans affect chocolate flavor, 
  • How cocoa beans are roasted and how different roasters affect the final chocolate
  • How the husk is separated from the beans and you’ll get your hands dirty doing some yourself.
  • Constructing recipes and troubleshooting questionable batches of chocolate
  • We will start multiple batches of chocolate.
  • Theory and practice of tempering.  You'll hopefully leave with chocolate you have tempered yourself.  discussion and basic demo.
  • Questions and answer session
A general familiarity with chocolate making is helpful.  Although not required it is nice if you have tried making a batch or two yourself. An eagerness to learn is required. If you don't feel quite ready for this we have a Chocolate Making 101 demo the day before and a workshop focusing on tempering the following week.  Tempering 102 Class
