Chocolate making in the craft shop and an outdoors weekend

Irremore Chocolates chocolate making demonstration in Craftshop na Méar



This is Siobhán Dennehy. She has the dream job. She is a chocolatier, with her own business, Irremore Chocolates. On Friday April 18 she came to give a chocolate making demonstration at 53 Church Street.
Siobhán nearly made chocolate making look easy.


There was lots of heating and cooling, tempering and moulding.


One of the finished products.


Ulla and Mary Sobieralski enjoyed the lesson.


My family couldn't wait to sample the wares.


Róisín enjoyed a good munch on some delicious pure chocolate treats.


Namir, Siobhán and friends posed for a photo after the very enjoyable class.

Siobhán's Irremore Chocolates are on sale in Craftshop na Méar, 53 Church St. Listowel


If you are looking for something different to do this Saturday. Our next workshop will see you walk home with a lovely bracelet.
