Why chocolate making works for a girls trip

Somebody has to taste it.

Every group has a chocolate person. Usually more than one, and they rarely agree on dark or milk.

Making something side by side does something a dinner booking can’t. Hands busy, a lot of licking of spoons, and the real conversation drifting in between batches.

And usually there’s a box to take home, if it survives the trip.

Quality control is a group responsibility.

What a chocolate making class is like

Melt, dip, decorate, taste.

A chocolate making class usually means tasting a few chocolates, learning how melted chocolate is handled, then dipping, moulding and decorating your own, with a box to take home.

  1. A tasting to start.

    Dark, milk and white, and the first very serious debate of the day.

  2. Hands on.

    Dipping, moulding and decorating, with a lot of tasting along the way.

  3. A box each.

    Some boxes go home full. Some do not.

  4. Two friends hugging in a kitchen

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

What kind of girls group chocolate making suits

Every chocolate person in the group.

It suits the friend with a secret drawer of chocolate, and the one who insists dark is the real chocolate.

Friends in pyjamas having breakfast in bed

The ones who want to make something.

Hands busy, a box at the end.

The sweet tooth crowd.

Tasting is part of the job.

Zero skills required.

Nobody’s chocolate is wrong. Some are just prettier.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A box each, and the birthday girl gets first pick.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing breaks the ice like the dark or milk debate.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Somehow the weekend felt full and lazy at the same time.

I mean that as a massive compliment.

A class, or a whole girls weekend

Make it, taste it, keep going.

Plenty of groups book a class and have a lovely couple of hours. Then everyone’s on the footpath holding a box, working out where dinner is and who’s heading home.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place.
