Itinerary
Day 1
Family of Monsters Chocolate Making Class
Meet the chocolatier at the Malta Chocolate Factory cafe for a guided 1-hour chocolate sculpting class. Participants will learn basic chocolate painting and decoration techniques and will craft a 3D chocolate character to take home. Please wait in the cafe area and a staff member will assist you on arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start to check in at the cafe counter and allow time for aprons and seating — the venue is not wheelchair accessible.
- Children under 3 should not sit on laps and infant seats are not available; plan for a guardian to supervise very young children during the session.
- Wear comfortable, easy-to-clean clothing; chocolate paint and edible decorations can stain. Parents with allergy concerns should inform staff on arrival.

Why this experience
You and your family will walk into a professional chocolate studio and spend the afternoon creating your own handmade chocolates from scratch. Family of Monsters has designed this hands-on workshop so kids and adults work side by side—tempering chocolate, filling molds, and decorating finished pieces. Unlike a typical tour where you watch from behind a rope, you'll have your hands in the process. The chocolate is real, the techniques are genuine, and by the end of the class, you'll leave with a box of chocolates you made yourself.
The beauty of this experience is that it works for families with children as young as five, and it equally engages teenagers and adults. There are no prerequisites—the instructors meet you where you are and guide you through each step. You'll learn why chocolate is so temperamental, how professionals achieve that signature snap, and why local ingredients matter. Plus, you get to eat your mistakes along the way.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the class, and how many people does it accommodate?
Classes typically run 2–3 hours and can accommodate small groups or larger families. Family of Monsters runs sessions daily, so you can book whatever group size works for your family.
What's included in this itinerary?
This itinerary includes hands-on chocolate making instruction, all materials and chocolate supplies, guidance from professional chocolatiers, a finished box of chocolates you've made, and snacks or refreshments during the class. Check the booking widget for current pricing and specific inclusions.
Will my kids actually make chocolates, or will I be doing the work?
Both. Family of Monsters designs the process so each person—regardless of age or skill—has a role. Children will temper (with guidance), fill molds, decorate, and make decisions about flavors and designs. You'll work together, not sit on the sidelines.
Can we bring dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes. Inform Family of Monsters during booking about any allergies or dietary preferences. They can adapt ingredients and suggest alternatives, though chocolate-making requires working with real chocolate, nuts, and other common allergens—they'll help you navigate safely.
What if someone doesn't like chocolate?
Unlikely, but if so, the class focuses on technique and creativity as much as taste. Family of Monsters can suggest non-chocolate alternatives or focus on the art and science of the process rather than consumption.
