Unleash Your Creativity With A Unique Chocolate Making And Artistic Box Decoration Workshop


Visit a cozy, partially underground chocolate factory located in El Mercado for a hands-on workshop that combines culinary skill with artistic design. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with an apron and introduced to the various wooden box projects available. Whether you choose to focus on the Art Bar or the Chocolate Bar, you will be guided through a self-paced experience that allows you to craft custom chocolate treats while simultaneously decorating your own keepsake wooden box.


The workshop offers several project options, including the popular Build a Bar, where you create custom milk, dark, or white chocolate bars with your choice of toppings. For those looking for a more comprehensive experience, the Build a Box and Bars project allows you to craft a wooden box and fill it with handmade bars customized with up to 25 different inclusions. You will use paints, stains, stamps, and stencils to make your box a truly personal work of art.


Guests are encouraged to reserve their project in advance, though a seat reservation option is available for those who prefer to decide upon arrival. The $34 reservation fee covers the basic two-bar activity and can be credited toward any larger project you select. This flexibility makes the workshop suitable for a wide range of interests, whether you are a casual visitor looking for a quick activity or a dedicated crafter wanting to spend a few hours creating something special.


This immersive experience is perfect for anyone who enjoys working with their hands and appreciates the intersection of food and art. By the end of the session, you will have created a personalized, high-quality gift or keepsake that reflects your own creative vision. The combination of a unique factory setting, expert guidance, and the ability to customize every aspect of your project ensures a memorable and rewarding visit that stands out from typical tourist activities.
