Make truffles, paint chocolates, and learn Malta’s chocolate-making secrets in a fun one-hour workshop priced at $29 per person.
“It was my first time making chocolate 🍫 and it was a cool experience. Jovana was helpful with explanations and taking pics / videos of me so I could also keep the memory longer. The only thing that felt a bit rushed is that there are 20mins given (later extended) to paint the chocolate 🍫 and for a non-artist it does feel a bit of a stressful situation but overall it was good.”
