Our first ever chocolate dipping class, at Oh! Chocolate’s Madison Park location in Seattle. Fun couple of hours that started out with entertaining stories by the two brothers who own the business, going from the history of the family chocolate business started by their mail order bride grandmother through to weapons found in bags of imported cocao beans. A healthy sampling of nibs, unsweetened chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and white chocolate provided the sweet equivalent of wine tasting. Then on to the fun and messily interactive stuff: mixing chocolates on the table while “properly” dipping strawberries, Oreo cookies, graham crackers, shortbread cookies, pretzels, and potato chips into either dark or milk chocolate. We really enjoyed the take home exam of trying out our box filled with tasty creations.
