Calling all chocoholics - live out your very own Charlie & The Chocolate Factory dream right here in the city thanks to New York Times favorite, Raaka Chocolate, an award winning chocolatier in Brooklyn.
Grab this $39 pulse (a $75 value) for a 2 Hour Chocolate Making Class at Raaka's factory, whose rich, chocolatey aromas will enchant you.
Your one-of-a-kind chocolate experience starts with an explorative walking tour.... and ends with you having three bespoke, hand-crafted bars to take home with you!
You'll go from bean to bar as you make your chocolate bars from scratch from cacao sourced from Öko Caribe in the Dominican Republic that supports healthy communities and sustainability.
From tasting and cracking unroasted cacao beans to making, decorating, and of course, savoring your customized chocolate bar; a day spent at Raaka is the most magical treat!
$59 Bean-To-Bar Chocolate Making Class For ONE (a $109 Value)
$75 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 and the pair founded Raaka Chocolate to delight New Yorkers with one-of-a-kind sweets.
Raaka builds each artisan chocolate bar from scratch with single-origin cocoa in its Brooklyn factory. Creative methods range from steaming cacao nibs over simmering red wine and aging cacao in bourbon casks to making bars with whole coconut shreds, smoked chai, or ghost peppers. Raaka always brings out the best in each bean.
Your afternoon starts with a tour that will allow you to see firsthand how beans are transformed into distinctive, delicious chocolate bars. 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. The speed and length of time the chocolate spins determines the particular notes of the chocolate.
Finally, you'll finish by pouring your concoction into molds to create your own bespoke handcrafted chocolate bars.
Take home your chocolate creations to savor and enjoy for the weeks to come...
Your $59 Chocolate Making Class (a $109 Value) Includes:
Yelpers go gaga for coco at Raaka, giving Raaka Chocolate 4.5 stars from over 90 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!"
"Came here for a tour and to make chocolate bars... The guy who gave the tour was very informative and knew his chocolate. There were a total of 6 people in our tour and everyone seemed like they had a good time. I ate so much chocolate. This place is a must."
