Wow! To start, Beth is a creative and very talented chocolatier! I am a chocolate fanatic and addict and I have to say Beth's chocolate is one of, if not, the best chocolate I have ever tasted. For a few years now my boyfriend has gotten me assorted chocolates for my birthday and Valentine's Day from Beth's chocolate. And all of them are worth savoring every single bite. If eating chocolate is you or your loved ones thing I promise you her chocolates will not disappoint!
This year my boyfriend surprised me by taking me and four friends to a chocolate class and it did not disappoint!! We were welcomed into Beth's home and made to feel comfortable and prepared to make chocolate. We started with a chocolate tasting and learning about chocolate, how it is sourced, and what it consists of. Beth was very well educated on the subject and it was amazing to hear so many knowledgable facts. Next, we learned how to temper chocolate and spread it to make crispy chocolate bark! After that we made chocolate ganache balls. As if that wasn't enough then we made chocolate medallions by tempering, piping, and topping them. We still weren't finished--we made dipped truffles and then went back and learned how to make ganache and turn them into covered truffles. It was absolutely amazing the 3 hours went by so quickly and involved tons of tasting along the way! And the best part was we got to take home bags and bags of chocolate!! It will not disappoint if nothing else buy a sampler of chocolate to support a lovely individual. But I highly suggest taking a class and really getting the best of both worlds!

Read moreI took the introductory class from Beth where we made chocolate bark, truffles, learned how to use transfer sheets, etc. We learned about tempering chocolate (key to successful chocolate making!), and made some delicious and beautiful chocolates to take home. Beth is very knowledgeable and passionate about all things chocolate, and is a very patient teacher. She has a lovely and welcoming home and her kitchen is perfect for chocolate making. Our class started out with a chocolate tasting, and I was thoroughly surprised by the different flavors apparent in different dark chocolate bars, and it was very interesting to taste an actual cocoa bean! I'm always looking for nice homemade gifts that I can share, and I made two batches of truffles after taking Beth's class that were beautiful and delicious. After taking the class, I had some follow-up questions, Beth responded quickly to my email messages and was very helpful. I'm looking forward to taking her class on molded chocolates in April. In addition, Beth's Chocolates are so pretty and delicious, I love her chocolates with ginger, and her chocolates with...
Read moreI have taken a class from Beth at Beth's Chocolate and have been a regular customer. The chocolates are so incredibly good. What I particularly love is that there are so many varieties; while it's hard to choose favorites, the malted and the fig chocolates are at the top of my list. There is truly something for everyone. Unless you don't like chocolate; but who doesn't...
