Two Fabulous Hours! Caffreys Chocolate factory visit February 2011

The two hour event which covers a 25 minute film explains in detail the story of chocolate and how the cocoa beans are grown and harvested. The film shows the journey of the cocoa beans to the factory and the process the beans go through to get the chocolate we know today.

The visitors are given a chocolate demonstration on how chocolates and Easter eggs are made. They are also shown the different machinery needed to make chocolate and the method of how to use a piping bag filled with chocolate.
The real fun part is the "hands on"session. The visitors put on aprons and start the business of coating chocolates, adding toppings and hand piping with white chocolate.
All participants get to decorate and package the chocolate to take home.

At the end of each event we have a short table quiz. This is great fun! The visitors realize they have learned a lot about the history of chocolate and how it is manufactured.
Each visitor receives The Chocolate Warehouse Certificate which gives each visitor a sense of achievement and the enthusiasm for future learning.
