Best Online Chocolate Making Classes to Try This Year


By Laura Maskery

Whether you’re a dab hand in the kitchen and you want to learn some new skills, or you’ve got a craving for some homemade sweet treats after seeing our London chocolate making classes, our virtual classes will turn you into a clever confectioner in no time! 

From busy mums who want to cook something other than the evening meal to budding bakers and kitchen creatives, our range of chocolate-themed cooking classes will put a smile on the face of anyone who has a sweet tooth and wants to fill their fridge with some tasty treats. You’ll be joined in the comfort of your own kitchen via live streaming video by expert chefs and professional patissiers, who will guide you gently through the chocolate-making process and stay on hand to prevent any confectionery calamities. You’ll finish the session with a selection of handmade chocolate, tasty truffles and sumptuous sweets, and you’ll have a wealth of new skills under your belt that will outlast even the biggest shop-bought chocolate bar!

Whether you’ve always fancied dabbling with dessert making, you’re bored in quarantine and want to beat the lockdown blues, or you’re just searching for fun indoor activities, learning how to make chocolate at home will tick all the boxes. We’ve rounded up our favourite chocolate making classes and DIY kits that will have you melting, tempering and piping your way to success before you can say ‘cocoa’!

Learn how to make truffles and whip up some homemade gifts

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love receiving a beautifully wrapped box of handmade chocolates on their special day? Whether you’re searching for a perfect Mother’s Day gift, a birthday present with a difference, or you just want to treat your best pal to something sweet, sumptuous chocolates are the ideal way to show your love. So why not go one step further and present your loved one with a beautiful package of truffles, made by your own fair hands?

To get you started, you can join one of our online classes, where a candy connoisseur will teach you how to make a range of delicious treats that are guaranteed to impress. Your expert host will walk you through the basics of confectionary creation and chocolate making, including choosing and using the right ingredients, melting down chocolate, and tempering, moulding and decorating your sweet treats. You’ll learn how to turn your kitchen into a sweet-smelling chocolatiers paradise, before finishing the session with a beautiful box of handmade chocolate truffles that are sure to melt the heart of your loved one - all you’ll need to add is the beautiful bow!

Online classes and virtual courses make great experience gifts too - so if you’re looking for a super special present that will help your loved one to create some wonderful memories, gifting them a chocolate making kit will definitely put a smile on their face. We’ll send them all the ingredients they need to get started on their chocolatier journey, and hopefully they’ll send you some tasty treats when they finish the session! 

Keep it planet-friendly with vegan chocolate recipes

Are you looking for a handmade chocolate treat that’s healthy, delicious and won’t wreck your waistline? Maybe you’ve eliminated animal products from your diet, and decided to be kinder to the environment and your body? Whatever your reason for ditching the dairy, our vegan truffle, fudge and chocolate making classes will help you satisfy your sweet tooth and let you stay planet-friendly at the same time.

Vegan chocolate recipes are becoming increasingly popular as more of us realise that when we have a choice, we should opt for cruelty-free ingredients wherever possible. Dairy-free chocolate making is a great way for animal lovers and eco-warriors alike to get their fix of sweet treats without harming any animals in the process, and our online classes will teach you everything you need to know about making your own handmade vegan chocolate truffles. 

You don’t need any prior knowledge or experience of chocolate making to join these classes - all you need is an eagerness to get stuck in, some basic kitchen utensils and a trusty internet connection! Your artisan cooking instructor will teach you how to make the richest fudge, velvetiest chocolate and most beautiful bonbons, all completely dairy-free and planet friendly!

Get the little ones involved with chocolate making for kids

There’s nothing better than getting the kids involved in the kitchen, and with our chocolate making classes for kids they can learn how to make yummy treats with you at their side. Perfect for children of all ages, our confectionary online classes will teach them all of the tricks of the trade, including creating fudge, bonbons, truffles and more. 

The virtual classes are fun but educational, so you can be sure that your little ones will be learning something new (and having a blast doing it!) before they get stuck into sampling their creations. The chocolate making classes are great for building up culinary confidence too - especially if you have any aspiring young chefs in your family. Our online cooking courses come complete with helpful instructions and demonstrations by our expert instructors, who will guide your little ones through every step of the process. Each class is split into easy-to-digest sections, and they’ll spend the time learning essential chocolate making techniques such as tempering, before getting their hands dirty and experimenting with melted chocolate. 


Online chocolate making classes are also a great social activity, so whether you’re looking for fun things to do in lockdown with the kids, or if you’ve got a virtual birthday party to organise, getting your little ones apron-ready and immersing them into a world of handmade chocolate will keep them busy for hours. Plus when they’re done, all they’ll need is an adult for the all-important taste test!
