It’s a great way to indulge your love for chocolate and expand your candy-making skills! Learning candy-making skills from a true chocolatier like Melissa can be a rewarding experience for both beginners and those looking to refine their techniques.

No prior experience is necessary.
In this class, Chocolatier Melissa Langholff, teaches three ganache variations, French-Style Cream Ganache, Brazilian Brigadeiros, and Chocolate-Forward Water Ganache. French-Style Cream Ganache is a classic and most well-known type of ganache. It’s made by combining chocolate and heavy cream. The ratio of chocolate to cream can be adjusted to achieve different consistencies, from a pourable glaze to a firm filling for truffles. The quality of chocolate and the temperature at which it’s mixed with the cream affects the flavor and texture.
