A fine chocolate is like a fine wine: full-flavoured, delicately structured, and inadvisable to consume while operating a Segway. Learn the ways of unfermented treatery with today’s deal: for $18, you get a ticket to the High Park Chocolate Fun Factory (a $36.16 value) at Chocolate Tales on Dundas Street West. Choose from four time options:

• February 12 at 10 a.m.
• February 18 at 5 p.m.
• February 18 at 6 p.m.
• February 19 at 12 p.m.

Chocolate Tales blends indulgent erudition with High Park Family Fun Place’s knack for guiding kids through cocoa confection creation within a safe-play paradise. The 45-minute sweets studio begins with an interactive story about the history of chocolate followed by a chocolate shaving session. Next, participants learn to engineer chocolate lava cakes by employing a variety of mixing and decorating techniques. After learning basic cocoa-wielding skills, sweet-toothed students make truffles before blasting away sugar highs during a 45-minute blitz at the Family Fun Place's indoor playground, which comes complete with adult supervision, arts and crafts, and hourly readings of Mr. Belvedere's final script.
