Let's Make Hot Cocoa Bombs! FLEX

*** This is a FLEX class and does not meet live. ***  Students can work from any time zone or any day of the week and I will assist 100%.  The class offers lots of learning and the ultimate in scheduling convenience.  

Want to get in on the latest dessert craze?  In this four-week class we’ll have tons of delicious fun together learning to make hot chocolate bombs with different themes and flavor profiles.  Hot chocolate bombs are a fun twist on a classic winter drink.  Learners will temper chocolate to create an outer shell with a glorious shine to it.  Then we’ll fill the shell with hot chocolate and other scrumptious add-ins before sealing two shells together to create a sphere of chocolatey goodness.  We’ll decorate the outsides of out hot chocolate bombs to make them even more amazing before mixing them with warm milk to create an amazing treat!  

Each week a series of videos will be shared in the classroom providing learners with step-by-step instruction.  Learners can re-watch the videos and pause while working along... whatever jives best with their creative process.  I encourage lots of classroom discussion throughout class.  One of the most fun aspects of hot chocolate bombs is the actual “explosion” of the chocolate shell when it has been melted by the warm milk.  Learners will post a video of their explosion each week so we can all marvel and discuss.  It truly is mesmerizing to watch!  

The fourth week of our class will be holiday-themed!  I’ll be demonstrating hot chocolate bombs for winter holidays (peppermint) and fall holidays (pumpkin spice).  At this point in class learners will have plenty of confidence with our process and they’re encouraged to create their own holiday-themed hot chocolate bomb recipe.  They’re welcome to brainstorm as a group in class and share ideas.  I am available to help create a supply list for their invention too!  I am super excited to see what everyone dreams up!

If a learner is stuck on something or jumping up and down with success... share!  I love to see it all - from work in progress photos to completed masterpieces.  Participants can learn so much through classroom discussions and peer review.  Plus we all love cheering one another's successes in the classroom.  Let's create together!
