Y6 were immersed in their very own Willy Wonka wonderland today with a special chocolate workshop led by accent catering team. The children learnt how chocolate was made, seeing inside a real cocoa bean and understanding the fermentation process and then how white, milk and dark chocolate are all made. They then learnt how to use different chocolates to make their own artisan truffles, chocolate-dipped shortbreads and chocolate lollies (plus a sneaky chocolate-dipped strawberry). They then had all their truffles specially packaged in their own chocolate box to take home alongside a special chocolate recipe book. Wow! What a fantastic experience for some potential future chocolatiers!
