Bibamba Truffle-Making

After reading online about the Bibamba truffle-making class, the combination of educational, interactive, and delicious entertainment appealed to me. I was not disappointed! Who could resist lessons about cultivating, making, and eating chocolate truffles. The owners, Patrick and Mara, of Bibamba are charming, generous, and gracious. Their story is downright inspirational. I never expected to have such a meaningful, positive experience with my 13-year-old nephew. I encouraged everyone in my family to sign up for a special evening. Not only do I want to take their second chocolate tempering class, but I will go early to enjoy dinner and drinks at the food court before heading over to Bibamba; the variety of foods will amaze and delight you. I returned to Bibamba the very next day with my niece to show her where I made the truffles. We bought additional chocolate to hand out as gifts for her friends, but my memories of the class from the night before are the sweetest part of Bibamba.

Wow—thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was fantastic to have you in class, and we’re thrilled to hear it was such a positive experience for you and your nephew. Fun, delicious, educational, and inspirational—that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create! Thank you for sharing our story and our chocolate with others, and for making us part of such sweet family memories. We look forward to seeing you again soon! ❤️

Truffle Time!

What a fun class and amazing business! Best chocolate hands down. They let us sample all their different flavor combinations and couldn’t leave without the Mocha Crunch (coffee/dark chocolate), coconut chocolate and plantain chocolate. The truffle making was a great experience and all of our boxes of chocolates looked so beautiful.

Thank you, Crystal—we're so glad you enjoyed our chocolate-making class and took some dark chocolate home to enjoy! Your truffles looked beautiful! Hope to see you again.

Sooooo fun!

We did the truffle making class and it was sooooo fun!! We loved learning about their family owned business, their why, and how they make their chocolate. Their chocolate is delicious and tasted so fresh, but besides that, I absolutely loved learning about their business. Because of all of that I will purposely seek out their chocolate and tell everyone I can about their business. Best chocolate I’ve ever had!!

Loved it

I took a chocolate-making class here at Bibamba (which is inside Edgewater Public Market) and I absolutely loved it. For context, they expanded from one unit of space within the market to two, and the expansion seems very cool because one side is like a behind-the-scenes kitchen and the other is the staging area of amazing chocolate goodies. Anyway, the class begins by them walking you through a short presentation about where their cacao is sourced and how they approach ethical production, which was nice because you got to learn some chocolate facts while snacking on some chocolate and learning what raw chocolate tastes like. After that, we started the hands-on portion, where we scooped freshly-made ganache using small scoops, and hand-rolled our own truffles while wearing gloves. There was a whole spread of different coatings and toppings, probably around a dozen options, so you could experiment with flavor combinations instead of just making one standard version. And there was definitely extra ganache, and snacking on the extra chocolate was encouraged! :) At the end you package your truffles in a branded box that made your creations look very professional. It was a great class, and then we walked over to the staging side and I bought a 12-pack of their bonbons that my D&D friends LOVED the next day, which was a complement because we bring lots of candy and it's hard to rise to the tip of what we've tried over time. I would highly suggest coming here for one of their classes or to get lovely gifts for loved ones.

Class description not acurate

This "class" was a disappointment. Most of the time was spent with a disjointed presentation on the process of producing and harvesting the raw ingredients. There was no instruction short of 5 min of boiling cream and then adding chocolate, and then the "decorating" part of the class was also really disorganized. None of the toppings were labeled or identified - just kind of a free-for-all. this really felt like a cash grab and was not at all worth the investment

Hi Dixon, we’re sorry to hear the class didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will explore ways to add more hands-on time and clearer labeling for toppings. We’re also planning more advanced chocolate-making sessions for future guests.

What a fun class and delicious chocolate!

We had a great time at the truffle making class. The chocolate was delicious and it was cool to taste the beans in all steps of processing as well as the finished chocolate. I enjoyed hearing about Bibamba's story and how chocolate is grown and processed. Only area of improvement would be to have something bigger than a computer screen for the power point. I think you are already planning to do that.

Thank you, Beth! We're so glad you enjoyed making truffles with us and learning more about how our chocolate is grown and crafted. Appreciate the feedback on the presentation too—we're on it! :)

Highly recommend this chocolate-making class if you're in Denver. The instructor was energetic, knowledgeable, and made it a very engaging and hands-on experience. She has an amazing story to share of the history of her and her husband's business, and she encourages you to eat chocolate while you're listening and making truffles! The truffles turned out amazing!! I gained confidence to make them on my own, and it was a fun experience with my co-workers.

Thanks, Amy! We're so glad you and your co-workers had such a fun, hands-on chocolate experience together. It was a treat to host you! ✨

Chocolate making class

My friend invited me and I couldn't resist. We had fun learning about chocolate and making our own truffles. We enjoyed plenty of samples and made a fun collection from our choice of dark, milk, and white chocolates and a widen assortment of toppings. I'll definitely take the class again with friends and family who come to visit because it's a great way to spend time together while living your chocolate lover's dream.

Interesting and fun experience!

My husband, mother-in-law, and I loved this class! Mara told us her story and how the chocolate is truly farm to table. Her family’s story is beautiful, in my opinion, and they really care for their craft and quality. We then made truffles, which is some of the most delicious chocolate I’ve tried. This is really worth the price, and I can’t wait to order more. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Lynette, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! It was such a treat to have you and your family in our class. We're so glad you enjoyed the experience and look forward to keeping you well-stocked with truffles in the future!

FAQs

Single-origin implies direct interaction with farmers and more care for the cacao crops.  The chocolate maker is thus invested in ethical sourcing of ingredients and this higher quality costs more to produce.


SIngle-origin means that all of the cacao beans used to make the chocolate come from one place rather than a blend of beans from different regions.  This translates to more nuanced flavors and appreciation for the farming and processing of the cacao beans.  


The chocolate is securely packaged and shipped in cardboard boxes.  Ice packs are included in the warmer months.


Bibamba ships within the continental US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.


Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and typically has less sugar than milk chocolate. It can boost serotonin levels which can improve one's mood.
