For $40, today's side deal gets you a Saturday three-hour chocolate making class at ChocoLee Chocolates (an $80 value). Classes take place every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Lee Napoli, one of Boston’s top pastry chefs, has been skillfully producing percolating pastries since 1989. Lee's students will glean mounds of treat-making knowledge during his three-hour chocolate crafting class, where they’ll employ their very own arm paddles to masterfully mold tasty tidbits. Learn how to temper chocolates (made fresh daily) and create tantalizing truffles using fresh, high-quality ingredients, while Lee sprinkles you with helpful tips and pointers. Once you've found a date that doesn't conflict with your chocolate-catapulting class, call ahead to schedule your chocolate making class at ChocoLee Chocolates.

Classes held on Saturdays only and you must schedule in advance.

Reviews

Yankee magazine named ChocoLee Chocolates one of the “Best 5 Chocolate Makers” in New England. Daily Candy featured the business. Nine Yelpers give ChocoLee Chocolates an average of 4.5 stars:

• Try signature hand-dipped truffles — espresso, hazelnut, chocolate mint, Grand Marnier, or poblano chile — for a little love at first bite. Or hold off for Valentine’s treats like chocolate-spiced hearts, milk-chocolate cupid lollipops, and made-to-order chocolate beignets. Stop in for one and you may walk out with a dozen. – Daily Candy
• What really makes this place so special is Lee. She is just about the most personable person ever and always go [sic] the extra mile (nice wrapping for the box, an extra truffle to try, good recommendations). – Sean M., Yelp
