About the Brigadeiro
Brigadeiro is a cousin of the chocolate truffle, but even more luscious and decadent. The kits are made by hand with locally sourced, all-natural ingredients, and they are gluten-free and preservative-free, with no artificial colors or flavors. Each kit serves one to two people.
Why It Works for Groups
The workshop captures the excitement, romance and richness of Brazil through rolling, decorating and sampling chocolate, set to rhythmic Brazilian music and interactive games. It is an experience full of culture and chocolatey fun, and the playful format gets even quiet teams laughing and comparing creations within minutes. That energy is what makes team building chocolate making so easy to love.
Because the host comes to you and the group can range from 8 to 100 guests, it fits a small team lunch or a full office party, which makes it one of the more flexible unique team building activities around. It suits a team building activity, a birthday or bachelorette party, and as christmas team building it is an easy, festive treat that needs no kitchen.
Guests regularly describe the class as fun and interactive, and teams have booked it for company summer events, quarterly offsites and birthday celebrations. The hands-on part is short and focused, so it slots neatly into a lunch break or the end of an all-hands without taking over the whole day.
About Your Host
Each class is hosted by an experienced Brazilian chocolatier with a deep affection for chocolate brigadeiros, Brazilian culture and creating fun, engaging events. Hosts bring genuine enthusiasm and a knack for inspiring creativity and social connections within your team.
The company was founded by a chocolatier who learned to make chocolate from her mother in a small town in Brazil, where brigadeiro was at every birthday and celebration. After moving to California she reinvented the recipe with less sugar and better chocolate, and more than ten years later everything is still handmade in small batches in San Mateo. The team has shipped its chocolate to 54 countries.
Her goal from the start was simple: get people to try one brigadeiro, because she was sure they would fall in love. To her, brigadeiro is more than chocolate; it is how people celebrate, connect and show care, and the workshop is built around that same feeling of sharing something sweet with the people around you.
