What you’ll learn…

How Chocolate Shells Are Made 

Chocolate shelling is used throughout professional chocolate making to make thin (or thick) chocolate shells to fill with all sorts of things.

In this case, we’re going to layer the shells with a praline. In other cases, they could be filled with candy, truffles, mini eggs and so on. Alternatively, they can be left hollow, like back in the day 🙂

I’ll show you how egg shells are made in an Artisan Chocolatiers kitchen vs a commercial chocolate factory.

Praline Filling 

This is an easy and fun filling for the eggs – something a little different from your run of the mill Easter Egg. We’re going to create a thin layer of praline inside of the shell and then cover it in chocolate. It creates that “how did they do that” vibe and it’s absolutely delicious! This praline can also be rolled into balls, and eaten as is, or dipped in chocolate.

Finishing Touches

After the egg shells are filled, we need to fuse the two halves together like pros and then finish it off so it looks as good as it tastes. For these eggs, we’re going to roll them in a caramel chocolate and finish them off with a fun chocolate Easter stamp.

Take What You Make 

You’ll take home your very own egg after class is over. We’ll pack them in clear bags tied with a ribbon.

All chocolates are dairy, wheat, gluten and refined sugar free.

The Local Area

The thriving town of Marlborough and the neighbouring pretty village of Manton are set in the stunning scenery of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There’s countryside within 10 minutes walk of the High Street in almost any direction, and downland, stone circles and ancient Savernake Forest are literally on our doorstep and the River Kennet chalk stream flows through the town centre.

The town has remained unspoiled, retaining its historic charm and is perfectly situated on the old Bath Road (built by order of the Kings of England) linking Bath to London – the Great West Way is a rich and enticing route for visitors to explore to this day. A favourite watering hole for coach & horses travellers in the past, Marlborough is a cosmopolitan destination today continuing to welcome visitors from all over the world.
