Gourmet Hot Chocolate from Scratch
Adjustments are free — tell your planner and the kits change.
From the moment you book to the moment the chef says hello.
When you book
A $250 deposit reserves the date and comes off the total in full. Dates 2 weeks out book instantly; sooner than that, ask and we can often expedite.
Within a day
Every event gets a dedicated planner, at no cost. They shape it around your team — the menu, the timings, dietary needs, and the parts that make it yours.
As soon as you like
We send every guest a short form to fill in themselves, so you never chase anyone for a home address. Prefer to handle it yourself? Send us the list instead.
14 days before
That is the deadline for free standard shipping anywhere in the US. International delivery is available to most countries at additional cost, and those addresses are due earlier.
The day before or the day of
Not a box packed a week ago: each guest's ingredients are bought fresh at a local store — Whole Foods first choice, or the best grocer near them — and delivered to their door, so what they cook with is fresh on the day.
Event day
One link, no software to install. Your planner is on hand in the background if anything needs sorting mid-event.

Real hot chocolate is made from chopped chocolate and milk rather than cocoa powder and sugar, and the difference is not subtle — it's thicker, less sweet and tastes of the chocolate you started with. That's the entire lesson and it's a good one. Chef Emily was clear about keeping the milk below a simmer, because boiling it makes the whole thing grainy. Ours were drinking it within twenty minutes and nobody went back to the tin afterwards.
Marco
The useful part was tasting the chocolate before it went into the pan — a high-cocoa bar and a milk one produce completely different drinks, and choosing deliberately rather than using whatever's in the cupboard is most of the battle. Adding a pinch of salt was the other tip and it does more than seems reasonable.
Hayden
I'd assumed there was nothing to learn here and was wrong, which I'll admit reluctantly. It's a short session and it's about ratios and temperature rather than any technique, but those two things are exactly what people get wrong at home. Worth it as an add-on to something else rather than as a standalone hour.
Taylor
Ideal with children involved — nothing sharp, nothing that can burn them if an adult handles the pan, and the stirring is a job they'll take extremely seriously. Ours were allowed to choose the toppings, which meant an amount of marshmallow I'd describe as structural. Everyone was happy.
