This was so much fun! Our instructor was patient, kind, and a great teacher! We learned about the chocolate making process, did it ourselves, and got to make ganache as well. Then we could fill our chocolates with different sauces, nuts, and fruits. I had the best time!

Very worthwhile! They made the job of making chocolates rather easy. Lots of guidance in the process and good explanations of the chemistry involved. The people in charge were delightful!

This was such a fun experience. Although I cannot remember our instructors’ name he was very friendly, patient, and cracked several jokes. He also had a lot of knowledgeable information about chocolate, and that enhanced the experience. Dark chocolate was the main chocolate used so if you’re not a fan of that type just be aware. I love the fact that we made two different styles of chocolate treats at the end. The chocolate came out delicious. Location was simple to find. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who loves chocolate, loves working with their hands, and to whoever likes experiencing new things. 100% recommend.

Great time making chocolates

Janette_H, Mar 2026

We had a great time making chocolates. After the class is over we left with 25+ each of chocolates.. Balo did a great job explaining each step of the process.

You’ll be successful even if you are not a chocolatier!

5 stars!!!

Sarah_S, Feb 2026

Calypso was a fantastic instructor for our chocolate-making workshop! She was clear, patient, and engaging, making the entire experience both fun and educational. Her teaching style made the process easy to follow, and she created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable and involved. We learned so much and truly enjoyed every step of creating our own chocolates. It was such a memorable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Highly recommend Calypso and this workshop to anyone visiting! 🍫

Do it!

Lauren_R, Jan 2026

Just do it!

Cynthia_O, Dec 2025

If you are debating taking this chocolate workshop, just do it! We traveled to Belgium from USA and did this class on our Thanksgiving Day. It was a memorable day for sure! We learned from Harry how to make chocolate pralines (we got to take home!) and creamy hot chocolate! We were so excited learning, we decided to buy all the supplies to teach our children at home on Christmas! I can't wait to see how they come out! He made the class fun and I would definitely recommend this class to anyone!

Sandra_B, Dec 2025

Anna was very patient & did an excellent job of describing the process of making chocolates. The amount of chocolate pralines lasted for our entire trip & then some!

Cure for a rainy Belgian afternoon

Ann_B, Nov 2025

Was both educational and fun, but more importantly delicious. We had a great experience with Bota and spent 2.5 hours learning and consuming delicious Belgian chocolate while outside it was cold and rainy.

Yummy chocolate making

Brad_W, Sep 2025

Lots of fun learning how to make the chocolate, and I learned some great trivia about chocolate itself!

Absolutely worth the experience

Amari_C, Aug 2025

First time in Brussels, we had to go to a chocolate making shop. We chose this one based on the reviews and glad we did. It was the entire 2.5 hours but it went by quickly. They can have as many as 18 ppl, but fortunately we only had 8. I prefer smaller crowds. The chocolate was delicious. We had nuts, honey, coffee, caramel, rice krispies, salt, raisins and coconut were the fillings. The hot chocolate was also very delicious. This was well worth the money. I’d actually pay extra to get a box with the individual cutouts so it can be even fancier.

This was an excellent...

Carole_R, Aug 2025

This was an excellent activity! It was good for couples, friends, mums and daughters, (there were no fathers and sons, but that would also have worked!) and solo travellers alike. The workshop leader was very friendly and knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour, and spoke well in English (second language) to a multicultural crowd. I now know how to temper chocolate, hoorah! He provided a good amount of technical information, and very clear guidance, assisting us each when we needed it. Would recommend!

Amazing Activity

Mirka_J, Aug 2025

This was so much fun! I really enjoyed the way our instructor Nien taught us everything about chocolate, she was so patient and helpful when we were trying to make our pralines. The class wasn’t overly full which felt nice because it wasn’t too full or anything.

Great Class!

Carmen_L, Aug 2025

The course started on time. The teacher explained everything and helped where he was needed. I had so much fun and was eating so much chocolate. We made pralines and chocolate with nuts and fruit. Would definitely recommend this class

What a great experience....

Mishawn_N, Jul 2025

What a great experience. Our guide, Anna was fabulous! We had so much fun and the chocolate is delicious.

Fun experience, but in a weird part of town

Emily_P, Jul 2025

We really enjoyed this class, learnt a lot about chocolate and had fun while making them. The chocolates were also SO good the next day. The one bit of feedback I would give is that this class is NOT in the centre of town, and in a bit of a dodgy area, so you may want to get an uber to and from here instead of walking.

The best praline class!

Jimmy_L, Jul 2025

What a fun hands-on praline class! Our instructor, Anna, was the best! We had so much fun making our chocolates. And then eating them! You take home tons of chocolate! Definitely a fun activity while you're in Brussels.

Fun group of people and we loved our enthusiastic instructor! She made making chocolate easy & fun! Easy to follow her instructions and she made sure to provide individual tips to all the attendees. We are excited to put our classroom instruction to good use and make chocolate at home!

Great activity!

Samantha_S, Jul 2025

Had a great time making chocolate, would definitely recommend to travelers coming to the city. Also the group we were with was great got to meet people from around the world!

Great Class!

Raegan_E, Jun 2025

My Husband & I loved this class. Elmina was awesome! She was engaging, funny & a great teacher. We loved this class & the yummy chocolate that we made.

Fun and educational too!

Sandra_S, Jun 2025

Enjoyed the fast paced workshop and learned a lot of the techniques around handmade chocolates. Good, easy to follow directions from workshop leader. Good equipment. My husband, who does not do anything in the kitchen, also found it fun and not overwhelming or too foreign. The chocolates all turned out very well. A proud moment to bring home a good amount of handmade chocolates!

Yummy chocolate

Kimberly_R, Jun 2025

This was so fun! I got to learn so much about the chocolate making process and the chocolate we made was delicious. A must try if you’re a chocolate lover!
