The class fits remote and hybrid teams, families spread across the country, birthday gatherings and any online event where people want to do more than watch slides. It is beginner-friendly, so nobody needs kitchen skills. As a virtual cooking class team building option, it gives every participant the same kit, the same recipes and the same finished box of candy, wherever they log in.
What's Included
A chocolate making kit shipped to each household
Enough ingredients in each kit for a small household
A live class taught by a professional chocolate chef
Step-by-step guidance for five candy recipes
Time for questions and taste testing during the class
What Everyone Makes
Participants make jumbo peanut butter cups, almond bear paws, pecan turtles, chocolate-dipped cookies and chocolate-covered strawberries. Each household ends the call with over one pound of chocolate candy, enough to share with whoever is at home. The recipes are chosen so they work in an ordinary kitchen with a microwave, with no special equipment or tempering machine.
How the Class Works
Kits arrive before the event, so everyone opens the box and sets out their supplies before joining the call. The chef starts with the most useful skill of the session, tempering chocolate in the microwave so it sets glossy and snaps cleanly. From there the group moves through the five candies one at a time, with the chef demonstrating each step on camera and pausing for questions. The class wraps after about an hour, by which point the candies are setting and the taste testing begins.
Shipping and Timing
Kits ship anywhere in the country and typically arrive within 4 to 7 business days. Book with enough lead time for every kit to land before the class date. Extra ingredients are available for larger households, which helps when a whole family wants to join one screen.
What to Have at Home
Participants without a microwave can note it on the booking so the chef can suggest a workaround before the class.
How Many People Can Join?
The class starts at 6 participants and scales up to large company-wide sessions of several hundred. The price is set per participant, with a lower per-person rate once a group passes 20, so bigger teams pay less per head.
Good Fit For
Remote and hybrid team building
Online holiday parties for distributed teams
Virtual birthdays and milestone celebrations
Employee engagement and networking sessions
Skills workshops with a sweet payoff
Who Leads the Class?
A professional chocolate chef from a locally owned San Francisco sweets shop teaches the session live. The shop is known for its house-made fudge in over 50 flavors, along with toffee, brittle and other confections, so the person on screen makes chocolate candy for a living and answers questions as the group works.
Is Tempering Hard for Beginners?
Not with this method. The chef shows how to temper chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, checking it as it goes, so the candy sets with a clean finish. Beginners are welcome, and no prior knowledge is required.
What About Allergies?
Add any allergies, food intolerances or dietary requirements to your booking request before the kits ship, so the team can pack each kit correctly. Vegan and gluten-free options are available.
What Past Participants Say
The team's locally owned sweets shop is 4.7-star rated by past customers across more than 270 reviews, and its group classes are a regular choice for teams and celebrations.
