Details
Kits include dry ingredients to make a simple hand-rolled chocolate truffles. There are also samples for a small mini-tasting. Kits can be shared with more than one person if you wish.
Guests will prepare and make the ganache together with the guidance of the host. While we wait for the ganache to set, we conduct our mini chocolate tasting. Afterwards, we roll and finish the truffle
Guests will be responsible for the cream or cream substitute. A handout with a list of tools and ingredients will be included.
Contact me if you have anymore questions, or visit the main truffle making page here.
For Classic Tasting Choose Between Two Kit Types
$39 for 10 pc
$49 for 16 piece
+ Sampler Kits
An excellent way for guests to experience a wide range of chocolate types and flavours. The default kit includes single-origin dark, milk chocolate, and some flavoured chocolate. Guests can place dietary requests as well (vegan, gluten-free, no nuts, no alcohol, etc.)
Come in 10 piece kit, 16 piece kit, or custom size (upon request). You can also add on extra samples per kit if you wish when you book.
$69 for 4 full bars
+ Full Bars Kits
The full bar kits default with 4 full bars, but you can add on more bars if you wish (at about $10-13 per bar). We will sample each bar during the tasting, but the guest will have plenty of chocolate to enjoy on their own afterwards for many days to come.
The benefit of this kit is guests will have more chocolate overall, and also get to enjoy the beautiful and unique packaging of each bar.
*Bean To Bar World Will Not Guarantee Samples Did Not Come In Contact With Or Not Contain Traces of Dairy, Gluten, Nuts, Or Other Allergens.
Kit Add-Ons
These are optional
$10-12 each
+ Craft Chocolate Bars
This can be added to a full-bar kit as an additional bar for the tasting, or to a sampler kit as a nice takeaway.
Add as many as you like per kit. It is a great way for your guests to continue enjoying chocolate and also apply what they learned in the tasting.
Bars will be selected according to any dietary restrctions (example: no dairy). Not everyone may get the same chocolate bar, and the bar received may not be the same as one of the samples in the kit. A popular choice is one single origin dark chocolate, and one milk or flavoured dark chocolate.
If you want specific brands included, you may inquire, but this is subject to an extra charge depending on the brand you prefer, and may not be able to accomodate depending on stock levels.

+ Flavour Wheel Keepsake
A Takeaway
This can be a great momento after the tasting concludes. It contains a wonderful poem on one side (Written by Geoseph) and a beautiful flavour wheel on the other. The flavour wheel is a great tool to help one articulate the flavours they experience in fine dark chocolate.
They are printed on thick Mohawk Superfine card paper, with a wonderful texture and clean finish.
*Your kit will include a flavour tree printed on the handout (a similar tool to a flavour wheel) to help the guests analyze the flavour. This keepsake would be an additional upgrade. *
$2
+ Extra Samples
Incorporated
Perhaps you want the 10 piece kit, but with 1 or 2 more samples. Or perhaps the 16 sampler kit just isn't enough. You can even add a few sample sized additions to your full-bar kits to add a bit more variety without the additional cost of adding more full bars.
Each sample is an additional $2 per sample per kit. You may just ask for more samples, and I choose the best ones, or you may request what samples you prefer (Although I can't always guarantee I can add them depending on stock levels and cost).
$4
+ Cacao Fruite Puree
Incorporated
This will be incorporated into the tasting, and is a great way for people to experience the tast of the fruit of the cacao!
Chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacao, but the seeds are covered by a sweet tart fruit. It tates nothing like chocolate. A fun addition while we explore what chocolate is all about.

$10+
+ Hot Chocolate
Depending on available stock and lead time, there is the option of adding delicious single-origin hot chocolate mixes all of which are dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free. Many are in the $10-11 range, which larger packages being $16-20+. Check out my online shop for possible options.
$16
+ Gianduja
Depending on available stock and lead time, there is the option of adding incredible chocolate hazelnut spreads (AKA gianduja). This makes nutella taste mediocre at best - and uses only real ingredients. Dairy-free and dairy options available.
