$75 For A Bean-To-Bar Chocolate Making Class For TWO (a $150 Value)
When Ryan Cheney was introduced to raw chocolate on a beach in Thailand, it was love at first bite. After spending a year learning the bean-to-bar basics, he teamed up with friend and fellow gastronome Nate Hodge to explore the endless array of chocolate possibilities.
Armed with an arsenal of unique flavor combinations, the pair founded Raaka Chocolate to delight New Yorkers with one-of-a-kind sweets.
Far from a conventional candy shop, Raaka is the gathering point of individuals whose passion for chocolate inspires them to develop new cocoa-processing methods, experiment with unheard-of flavor combinations, and teach workshops on their craft.
Your class starts off by a tour of the Raaka Chocolate factory. Then, you'll taste raw cacao from around the world and compare unique traits of each growing region.
Following the tasting, you'll be given the opportunity to get creative as you load the factory’s stone grinders with your choice of raw ingredients from the Raaka Innovation Lab.
Finally, you'll finish by pouring your concoction into molds to create your own bespoke handcrafted chocolate bar.
Yelpers go gaga for the coco on offer here, giving Raaka Chocolate 4.5 stars from over 60 reviews including:
"Got a pulsd for the chocolate making class and was very impressed. You really get to learn all of the details of how they make their chocolate and the history of how they got started. Then you get to pour and flavor 3 of your own bars, which alone are worth the price of admission."
"I did the chocolate-making class that includes a tour of the factory. It was a really great experience... We learned all about chocolate, and we even made our own chocolate bars. Plus got to taste samples and develop our taste buds a bit!"
"The tour was amazing! And the chocolate is so good! Can't wait to come back for the cafe."
May purchase as many classes as you like for personal use or for gifting.
Classes are offered every Friday (7-9pm) and every Saturday & Sunday (5pm-7pm).
Expires on Sunday December 3, 2017.
