Fun with Chocolate Workshop on Fillings Scheduled for May 18th
By popular request, we have a “Fun with Chocolate” workshop scheduled for May 18th. Here’s your opportunity to find out how Belgians make those amazing filled chocolates, locally known as Pralines. Learn a new skill to take back home with you! In this 3-hour workshop you will learn how to make 4 different fillings and insert those fillings into a chocolate mould. Making mendicants, lollipops, chocolate dipped fruit will also be part of the activities in this fun-filled class! You then get to take the chocolates you made and place them in a traditional ballotin box as well as learn the art of decorating the box in the traditional Belgian way.
DATE: Friday, 18 May 2012
TIME: The workshop will run from 11am – 2pm. Coffee and refreshments will be served upon arrival.
LUNCH: We will take a short lunch break around 12:30-1:00. A light lunch will be provided.

I originally started Writing with Chocolate in 2008 to blog about Belgian chocolate while living in Brussels. You can read my reviews of artisan chocolate shops in Brussels and check out my chocolate-themed walking tours by clicking on the "Belgian Chocolate Resources" button on the top navigation bar.
Now that I’m back home in Alexandria, Virginia, I have a new focus that brings together all that I learned in Brussels. As the saying goes, build the web site you want. In late 2012 I revamped Writing with Chocolate to address the needs and concerns of the home "do-it-yourself-er" chocolatier like me.
Cheers and chocolate,
Robbin Warner
