The residents of Delmanor Elgin Mills visited Afya Hort Therapy on February 1st to learn the exquisite art of making chocolate from scratch!

Afya Hort Therapy's Sean Chubbuck provided a slide show to the seniors that depicted the history of chocolate, along with visual samples to each of the attendees. Chocolate begins as a cacao bean in the pod and then is turned into liqueur and then finally to cocoa butter.
The Delmanor Seniors were given the opportunity to grind the cocoa beans using a mortar and pestle and then experienced the modern version using a juicer to separate the liqueur from the husks.

After all of this hard work, the residents were rewarded with a mug of their very own hand made hot chocolate.
All of the seniors who attended this workshop had a wonderful time and learned a great deal about making chocolate!
