Discover the secrets of traditional Belgian chocolate making during this hands-on three-hour bonbon-making experience with RM Fine Chocolate.

Your experience begins with a delicious chocolate drink before your chocolatier introduces you to the art of creating beautiful filled chocolates, also known as pralines or bonbons.

Using professional chocolate moulds and specialist equipment, you will learn how to prepare chocolate correctly and create smooth, glossy chocolate shells. You will then make a soft and creamy ganache filling before carefully filling and sealing your chocolates.

Once your bonbons are ready, you will have the opportunity to decorate them and add your own creative finishing touches. Throughout the class, your experienced chocolatier will provide friendly, step-by-step guidance and share professional tips and techniques that you can use to make chocolates at home.

No previous chocolate-making experience is required. The workshop is designed to be enjoyable, creative and accessible to complete beginners, while also offering plenty of useful knowledge for enthusiastic chocolate lovers.

At the end of the experience, you will package your handmade chocolate bonbons to take home. Enjoy them yourself, share them with family and friends, or present them as a special handmade gift.

This memorable experience is perfect for individuals, couples, friends and families. It also makes a wonderful gift for birthdays, anniversaries or anyone who would love to discover the fascinating world of professional chocolate making.

RM Fine Chocolate is a small-batch artisan chocolate company based in Prestwich, Manchester, where every chocolate is carefully crafted from bean to bonbon.

Working from their local chocolate studio, the team oversees the whole process themselves, from selecting ethically sourced cocoa beans through to roasting, refining, creating fillings and adding the final decorative touches. It is a proper bean-to-chocolate approach, with plenty of care, skill and chocolatey know-how involved along the way.

RM Fine Chocolate uses high-quality cocoa and natural ingredients to create handcrafted chocolates with rich, distinctive flavours. All of their chocolate is also certified kosher under the supervision of the Manchester Beth Din.

As well as making rather lovely things to eat, RM Fine Chocolate is passionate about sharing the craft behind them. Their small-group chocolate classes are designed to be friendly, hands-on and accessible, whether guests are complete beginners, enthusiastic chocolate lovers or keen to learn more professional techniques.

The aim is simple: to help people understand what real chocolate making involves and to experience the satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch. For anyone who has ever wondered what happens between cocoa bean and bonbon, RM Fine Chocolate offers a fascinating and very tasty place to find out.
