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
+ Sampler Kits
Sample sizes of various products as seen in image above. A great way for guests to experience a wide range of chocolate types and flavours.
Come in 12 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.
+ Full Bars Kits
Full bars of beautiful fine chocolate bars. The full bar kits default with 4 full bars, but you can add on more bars if you wish. We will sample each bar during the tasting, while the guest will have plenty of chocolate to enjoy on their own after the tasting is finished.
Guests will not sample as wide of a range as the sampler kits, but they do have the full bar experience and learn more about the individual makers.
*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
+ Flavour Wheel Keepsake
$2
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.
+ Cacao Fruite Puree
$3
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.

+ Craft Chocolate Bars
$11
A Takeaway
Once the tasting is over, all the chocolate samples will have been eaten. This may make some people sad! Adding 1 or more craft chocolate bars is a great way for your guests to continue enjoying fine chocolate, and also apply what they learned as they eat it.
Normally most bars range from $11-14+, but if purchased with a kit, the bars will only be $11 each.
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.
+ Extra Samples
$2
Incorporated
Perhaps you want the 10 piece kit, but with 1 or 2 more samples. Or perhaps the 15 sample kit just isn't enough. You can even add a few sample sized additions to your full bar kit to add a bit more variety without the additional cost of 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).
