During one-hour sessions, pupils explore the flavour and creation of chocolate, touching upon the growth of cacao beans, the ethics of production, or the fillers used in mass production. Students sample cocoas of varied origin and composition culled from numerous manufacturers before tasting Xoxolat's blended bars, such as dark chocolate brimming with sea salt and peppercorns, tortilla chips and lime, sour cherry chile, bacon, and many others. After class, guests receive a box of chocolate truffles to savour at home or share with friends. A schedule of class times is available here.

Modelled after sweets from classic European chocolatiers, Xoxolat's award-winning chocolate makers concoct an assortment of bars, truffles, and artisanal chocolate creations. Since June 2007, they have treated palates to fair-trade and equitable-trade chocolates and single-origin selections from artisan lines such as Republica Del Cacao, Amedei, and zotter. In addition to selling an assortment of gourmet chocolate bars and truffles, Xoxolat holds a Chocolate 101 class where participants learn cacao bean-facts and the ethics behind eating chocolate Easter bunnies.

The Groupon Guide to: Kindness

The universality of the human experience serves as the connective tissue between all the people, making us truly brothers and sisters in the experiment called life. Here’s how to not mess it up for everyone by being a dingus:

  • Push superhard on revolving doors to treat your fellow passengers to a spontaneous merry-go-round ride.
  • Collect the old video games you don’t play anymore and leave them in a basket on the doorstep of a church.
  • Never eat the last slice of pizza; make two people compete for it.
  • If you see a house on fire, run in to save people regardless of your level of fire-safety training.
  • Adopt a pet! It can be someone else’s pet if you’re like 90% sure you’ll do a better job.

How can you make the world a better place without having to work very hard?
