Making Botanical Chocolates Infused with Therapeutic Plants + Superfoods
Did you know that cacao, the primary ingredient in dark chocolate, is one of the most antioxidant and magnesium-rich foods? But most chocolate on store shelves is overly processed, and loaded with sugar and additives, depleting its potential nutritional power.
Erin Antosh, Clinical Herbalist and CEO of Where The Good Grows, will teach you how to infuse therapeutic plants into chocolate, incorporate medicinal herbs into creamy fillings, use vibrant spices and edible flowers for decoration, and add “superfoods” to boost the nutrient density of your “no longer guilty” pleasure. Chocolate is a creative and tasty way to enjoy the anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and stress-relieving properties of therapeutic plants!
In this hands-on class, you will learn the therapeutic properties of various plants, the health benefits of cacao, and then make custom botanical infused chocolate with the medicinal plants that suit your particular wellness goals. You will go home with a box of the infused chocolates that you make in class (if they make it out of class before being eaten)!
As a special part of this on-farm class, Erin will take you on a tour of Love & Grit Farm to see the medicinal plants the farm has growing, and you will have the opportunity to pick some herbs to take home.
