​​I offer small, hands-on chocolate-making private and semi-private workshops for Harvard students in my home kitchen in Arlington, about 10 minutes from campus. Each workshop runs about 2 hours and is limited to 6 students. Students are welcome to come with a group of friends or sign up on their own.

​

Students will: 

• Taste a variety of chocolates and learn how cocoa becomes chocolate

• Roll truffles, dip caramels and make other fun chocolate confections

• Design and decorate their own chocolate bars

• Take home a box of everything they make

How reservations work

1. Request: Complete the form for your student or group. Submitting the form does not guarantee a spot.

2. Confirm: I’ll review requests in the order received and confirm by email by 9:00 am the following day.

3. Pay: Your spot is held for 24 hours. Payment in full by Venmo or Zelle secures the reservation.

4. Get ready: You’ll receive the address, directions and other helpful information.

​​

Cancellations and refunds
Each workshop involves several hours of preparation, as ingredients are purchased and stations are prepared in the days beforehand. Refunds are available up to 48 hours before a workshop. After that, spots are non-refundable but transferable to a friend. In the unlikely event a workshop doesn’t take place (for example, if fewer than 3 students sign up), you’ll receive a full refund.
