Mini Chocolate Making Class - 2 Hours

Peru produces some of the best cacao in the world, so there’s no better place to take a chocolate-making class than in Cusco. During the class, you’ll get to prepare, mold, and decorate your very own chocolates with a range of more than 15 local flavors such as chili, coca leaf, and muña (an Andean mint). You’ll also learn all about the wider chocolate-making process, starting from the cocoa tree of the Peruvian jungle to harvesting and refinement. You can try your hand at roasting the cocoa beans, removing the cocoa husk, grinding the cocoa nibs, and refining the cocoa paste in a melange (a chocolate grinding machine). 

Finally, you will prepare a delicious hot chocolate, a very popular drink in Peru, especially for Christmas. When you’ve finished making your chocolates, you’ll be able to take them away to share with your friends and family – if you don’t eat them all first!
