Combine a love of chocolate with new-found cookery skills and recipes at Edinburgh's New Town Cookery School.
The one-day course will show attendees how to make different puddings, desserts and treats whilst learning more about meringues, pastry and souffles.
The team will give advice on what chocolate to choose when cooking and how to avoid any disasters!
Plus you can take home what you have made on the day, which could include treats such as a double chocolate and raspberry meringue roulade, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate macaroons.
If you want to find out more about chocolate then this tasting evening at Coco Chocolatiers is perfect.
During the chocolate connoisseur event, you can find out more about the process of making chocolate, taste some cocoa nibs and cocoa butter in its pure state, discover what chocolate tempering is and how it is achieved, what to look for in a superior chocolate bar and finally, taste some of the final product alongside a selection of paired liquors.
This hour long workshop is available to book online at £18 per person, and will be held in Coco Chocolatier's Stockbridge store.
If you want to enjoy a dessert with a difference, then head over to Civerinoss Slice – the newest venue from the award-winning Italian Street food restaurant collection in Edinburgh.
Civerinos calzone desserts come with a range of chocolate fillings from favourite chococlate bars such as Toblerone, Wispa and Mint Aero.
Ideal to share with friends, the chocolate calzones come with a pot of vanilla cream.

Delicious!
