2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Forget the candy aisle. At a lively Dallas brewery, you’ll learn how to turn chocolate, cream and a few craveable toppings into handmade truffles that look almost too good to eat. You’ll begin by combining semi-sweet chocolate, heavy cream, butter and vanilla extract to create a smooth, velvety ganache, then learn how chilling affects texture and makes shaping easier.

Next, you’ll portion and roll the ganache into individual chocolate truffles, practicing simple techniques for consistent shapes and a clean finish. Customize each one with cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, crushed cookies and chopped pecans or almonds, adding color, crunch and plenty of personality. No advanced skills required, just a willingness to get a little chocolate on your hands. Between the brewery atmosphere, hands-on creativity and inevitable taste-testing, you’ll leave with sweet new skills and an assortment of truffles ready for your next celebration, homemade gift or late-night chocolate emergency.

What to expect

Chocolate therapy, but make it hands-on. Settle into the relaxed atmosphere of a local Dallas brewery and turn simple ingredients into an impressive assortment of handmade chocolate truffles. You’ll start by making a silky ganache with semi-sweet chocolate, heavy cream, butter and vanilla extract, learning how to mix it until smooth and rich enough to make your spoon suspiciously disappear.

Once chilled, you’ll practice portioning, rolling and shaping the ganache into neat bite-sized truffles. Then comes the fun part: decorating each piece with cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, crushed cookies and chopped pecans or almonds. You’ll pick up practical techniques for creating smooth shapes and polished finishes without needing pastry-school confidence. The vibe stays social, relaxed and beginner-friendly, whether you live in Dallas or are in town for something deliciously different. Finish with a box of truffles you made by hand, ready for sharing, gifting or keeping entirely to yourself.
