Halloween-themed classes in the Chocolate Lab include "Chocolate Cobweb Creations" and "Build a Batty Bar." In “Chocolate Cobweb Creations,” participants create a creepy Halloween spider web using white and milk chocolate, then top it off with a dark chocolate spider. Chocolate Lab guests will also solve the mystery of chocolate’s origins and learn the differences between white, milk and dark chocolates. In “Build a Batty Bar,” participants mold their own chocolate bar and then customize it with a choice of Halloween-themed and traditional candy ingredients. Participants also learn how cocoa beans are transformed into their favorite chocolate confections. Chocolate Lab classes require ticket purchase; individuals must be at least four years old to enter the lab. Visit HersheyStory.org for a daily class schedule.
