THE SWEET STUFF If you love chocolate, this fab idea for a fun hen party activity is sure to hit the sweet spot. Indulge yourself and your besties to one of multi award-winning Hampshire chocolatier Kerry Witt’s wonderful workshops. She offers a variety of hands-on chocolate experiences at her New Forest HQ or she can bring the fun to you at home or a venue of your choice. Great for hen parties and celebrations of all kinds, a special gift or mother and daughter days, there’s plenty of tasting involved too. The workshops offer the chance to learn a range of new skills. Discover how to taste chocolate like a pro, make truffles, use a piping bag and create your own delicious centres. Temper milk chocolate to make decorative shards, hand roll truffles in chocolate, add a dusting of shimmer and pop in a gift bag, tied with a ribbon for that finishing touch. What’s more as an extra special treat, Kerry is offering our readers one place free of charge for workshops lasting around two hours, with a minimum of six adults up to a maximum of eight, confirmed during July and August.
