Herbal Chocolate Truffles

My first job in high school was making chocolate truffles at a cafe in my hometown of Davis. Twice a week I would disappear into the cramped restaurant kitchen with chocolates, liquors, and my imagination to make ganache, dip, and decorate a huge host of chocolatey confections. Flash forward two decades and I'm still obsessed with all things chocolate, yet now I incorporate herbal medicine into my concoctions and would like to imagine that my process is a bit more refined, as well as herbally potentiated.   

Come learn the art of truffle making -- from the roasting and grinding of cacao beans and bay nuts, to tempering chocolate, making herbal-infused chocolatier-quality ganache, and dipping/decorating your confections. All in time for Valentine's Day! Students will leave with a little box of chocolates to enjoy with their beloveds as well as a belly filled with “samples” and the knowledge of on how to craft their own truffles in the future.
