The Experience

The first thing that hit me was the smell — not just sweet, but deep and a little earthy, like someone just opened a box of cocoa right under my nose. We slipped on aprons (mine was way too big, which made me laugh), and our instructor, Marc, started tossing little facts about Belgian chocolate as he handed out bowls of glossy melted chocolate. He had this calm way of explaining things — didn’t mind when I asked twice about tempering. The place felt busy but somehow peaceful, with people chatting in French and English around us.

I never thought making chocolate truffles would be this messy or fun. My hands were sticky pretty much the whole time, but nobody cared — even the kids at the next table were giggling as they tried to roll their truffles without squishing them flat. Marc showed us how to swirl the ganache just right before rolling it in cocoa powder. I probably ate more than I should’ve while “taste testing.” At one point he poured us each a cup of hot chocolate — thick and almost spicy, nothing like what I grew up with. It warmed my hands instantly.

We talked about where the cacao comes from and why Belgian chocolate is so famous here in Brussels. Someone asked if they could make vegan truffles and Marc nodded, already pulling out different ingredients for her. That felt good — nobody was left out or made to feel awkward about allergies or diets. By the end I had a box full of lopsided but honestly pretty delicious truffles to take home (I gave up on making them round after the third one). Walking back outside, my fingers still smelled faintly of cocoa. I still think about that first bite — bittersweet and soft in the middle.

What’s included

Your session includes all cookware and ingredients needed for making Belgian chocolate truffles in Brussels, an apron to wear during the class (even if it hangs down past your knees), plus a comforting cup of hot chocolate while you work—and everything you create goes home with you at the end.
