Malta: Family of Monsters Chocolate Making Class

Imagine spending an hour in Malta crafting your very own 3D chocolate monster — a treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. For just $17 per person, this family-friendly activity offers a creative escape into the world of chocolate, complemented by expert guidance and all the materials you need. Led by friendly staff at the Malta Chocolate Factory, this session is a delightful way for families, couples, or groups of friends to bond over something sweet and a little bit messy.

What makes this class particularly appealing is the hands-on approach — you don’t just watch a demonstration; you get to paint, decorate, and sculpt your own edible creature. We also love how the class emphasizes learning about the history of chocolate, adding an educational touch to the fun. The hour-long duration keeps it light and manageable, fitting nicely into a day of sightseeing or relaxation.

One potential consideration is that this activity isn’t suitable for children under five, so if you’re traveling with very young kids, this may not be the best choice. Also, transportation isn’t included, so you’ll want to plan your route to the Malta Chocolate Factory accordingly. This tour is perfect for families seeking a memorable activity or anyone with a sweet tooth eager to try their hand at chocolate artistry.
