Our workshops are very exciting affairs for learners and
are priced affordably at only R65 per learner.
Each learner gets:
- A plastic apron and mop cap for their head
- Being taught how to make a chocolate creation
- A hand-made chocolate creation in special packaging
- A Chocolate-Making workshop attendance certificate
We bring two to four chocolate-making instructors to each school, depending on the size of the school and the learners attend a 1 hour workshop in groups of between 18 and 30, depending on classroom size. We bring cooking chocolate, which we then show learners how to melt then spoon into various moulds (hearts for Valentine’s Day, Egg-moulds for Easter, etc). They then refrigerate their creations and upon setting either wrap them in colourful chocolate foil or decorate using fondant hearts, flowers and stars in the case of Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day gifts. Each child then packages their creation in a special bag (organza bags for Valentines and Easter Eggs and clear Cellophane wrapped in ribbon for Mothers’ day). Each learner is given a Chocolate-Making attendance certificate to take home.

From 18 to 26 July we are inviting schools to give a smile to a less privileged child by having your own learners take their 67-minutes to make a sweet surprise for children from no-fee schools in Gauteng townships. We have identified primary schools in Ratanda, Duduza and Alexandra and have received the names of their learners. It’s our wish to give each learner a Nelson Mandela Day gift, in the form of a specially wrapped chocolate frame with their name on it.
IN 75% OF SA HOUSEHOLDS CHOCOLATE IS A LUXURY ITEMGive a child a chocolate!
As a token of appreciation to your precious learners, we will give each learner extra chocolate to make 2 chocolate hearts that they will wrap in red chocolate foil and keep for themselves. We will also provide transport and our team to do deliveries at each township school. We will share pictures of the delivery with your school so that you can share with your learners. We bring all the ingredients, glassware, moulds, utensils. We bring a stove and use your school fridge. Our goal is to gift 6700 township learners, due to the special significance of the number 67, which are the number of years that Nelson Mandela gave of his life to fight for human rights.
Cost per child: R50 Book NOW: bookings@thechocolatefactorysa.co.za
We are giving your learners an opportunity to each gift one of the township learners with a personalised chocolate creation that they have lovingly crafted by hand. We will come to your school to run a 67-minute workshop where our friendly instructor will teach them the art of chocolate-melting, moulding and decorating a 12cm x 9cm chocolate photo frame with the words of the child assigned to them. Once decorated, they wrap their creation in plastic cellophane and a ribbon, to be presented to the children from the township schools the following day by our dedicated team.
