Chocolate classes

Those in the Seattle area might enjoy taking one of these chocolate classes, available for the next few days on Living Social. Kids love learning about chocolate molding, where they get to fill molds with colored chocolate and feel very artistic (we did this for the birthday party activity for our last two birthday parties). I loved the chocolate truffle class, in which Dawn helped us make truffles that tasted gourmet, and also taught us about chocolate tempering. (She was one of the experts I consulted when writing about chocolate bloom for the Candy Experiments book.)
