YOUNGSTERS enjoyed a finger-lickingly good time when two experts visited their school as part of a day-long project.
Claire King and Scarlett Latham from York Cocoa House gave a masterclass in chocolate-making - much to the delight of children at Cundall Manor School near Thirsk.
The special guests delivered a masterclass and presentation which explored the story of chocolate and its journey to becoming the world’s favourite sweet treat.
The event was all part of the school’s annual languages day, a celebration of all things multi-cultural, which this year took on a particularly food orientated theme.
Children then enjoyed a chocolate lolly making tutorial in their forms before sampling a wide variety of world cuisine.
The youngsters also learned about pre-Colombian art and watched a video presentation on the Inca lands of gold.
Claire King, from the York Cocoa House, said: “Workshops like this are a great way for children to experience what it takes to make chocolate.
“We showed them how to temper chocolate and assisted with the lolly making.
She added: “It was great to see the children ask relevant questions and to know that they have clearly gone away having learnt something but also with a solid tangible product which they will enjoy.”
