Make Your Own Chocolate Kit Review and Giveaway

Tweet

If you aren’t familiar with Glee Gum and Make Your Own kits, you’re missing out on a lot of family fun as well as a good way to talk to your kids about conservation.  The kit I chose to review was Make Your Own Chocolate.  Included with the kit is a narrative on the background of the cocao bean and how chocolate has become what it is today.  There is even a link to get more information and lesson plans, if you would like to do this with a classroom of kids.  This would be a very hands-on lesson and would fit perfectly into a unit on the environment or Costa Rica.

Quite frankly, the kit is very easy to use and I had no problems making the chocolate.  Everything is labelled and pretty much idiot proof (which is good because I’m an idiot when it comes to stuff like this!).  It was a lot of fun to see how chocolate actually comes together and what ingredients go into making chocolate.  In addition, the kit included two actual cocoa beans; and the directions in the kit encourage you to taste them.  (By the way – eww.)  It was kind of like trying a roasted coffee bean to get an idea where coffee comes from.
