#4: Visit a Chocolate Factory and Learn How to Make Chocolate-
First of all, who does not love the smell of chocolate? I certainly do. The best way to learn how to make chocolate is to visit a Chocolate Factory! We all know Belgium has the BEST chocolate in the world. My sister worked abroad in Belgium and brought some home, so I KNOW this is a fact. You can book a chocolate tour or take a class in Belgium! I took a chocolate workshop in Peru to make chocolate in 2019. I must have added WAY too much salt because my handmade chocolate tasted terrible.
