4. JoMart Chocolates
JoMart has all of the charm that you would imagine from the oldest candy factory in Brooklyn. Owner Michael Rogak is the son of a candymaker, and he began working in the candy industry at JoMart when he was just nine. This company has turned out to be quite the family affair, and now his wife, daughters, and grandchildren are all members of the JoMart working team. Classes at JoMart Chocolates are designed to be entertaining as well as educational. You will gain knowledge, get to do a “relaxed tasting”, partake in some skill demos, and get started on some great chocolate projects. Some of the skills you will gain include hand-dipping, hand-tempering, molding, and of course, tasting! This course is said to be perfect for those who love chocolate and love laughing, and never meant to intimidate or overload students. Sounds pretty universally-appealing to me! Rogak has been fortunate enough to spend his whole life around chocolate, and loves nothing more than sharing his family’s passion for the sweet stuff with students.
