Chocolate Bar Making Workshop at York Cocoa Works

About

A one-hour hands-on workshop at York Cocoa Works, the city's working chocolate manufactory on Castlegate, where you design and make your own 200g chocolate bar with tempered chocolate and learn where cocoa actually comes from along the way. It is the practical, sleeves-rolled-up counterpart to the storytelling at York's Chocolate Story: this is a real factory with a cafe and shop attached, founded to bring chocolate-making back into the city that invented the KitKat. Book a workshop slot ahead; sessions run through the day and the calendar is on the venue's site.

Highlights

• ✓Design and take home your own 200g chocolate bar
• ✓A working chocolate manufactory, not a museum set
• ✓Cafe and chocolate shop attached for afterwards
