First, there is the smell.Familiar. Intoxicating. Some say ED-preventing.Then, just when you can barely take anymore, a smiling head pops through the door – “Anybody want some chocolate?”
Welcome to two-and-a-half hours of educational heaven, aka the Taste of Chocolate Workshop.
Run by the folks who have been bringing the legendary Mystery Café to Boston and beyond for years and hosted in the Elephant and Castle Pub in Downtown Boston (the same site as one of the most popular Mystery Café dinners), the Workshop tells you perhaps more than you ever wanted to know about chocolate (pretty much right down to the molecular level) and then lets you get into it up to your wrists (at least) through a hands-on truffle-making party.

The Boston Foodie reviews our Boston Chocolate Tour
We spent part of our weekend walking about the city as part of The Back Bay Chocolate Tour organized by Boston Chocolate Tours. While we won’t give away all of the surprises, we will give you some highlights on what to expect. The tour begins at Tealuxe on Newbury Street and begins with a cup of hot cocoa which was nice to have in this weather. The groups are limited to no more than 15. You do get samples and experiences at every stop along the way and a bottle of water to clear your palate. Evereyone is provided with sample bags in case you reach chocolate overload and want to take your treats home to savor later. Great idea!
