Chocolate Treats are redefining the modern pastry shop by bringing gourmet techniques to fun, snackable formats. In this 38-minute specialized on-demand class, Chef Raúl Bernal demonstrates why he is considered a leader in creative confectionery. Joining this Chocolate Treats course allows you to break free from traditional molded chocolates and explore the “Snackification” of pastry, mastering the art of balancing salty inclusions with high-percentage cacao.
Designed for professionals looking to diversify their display cases, this Chocolate Treats Class focuses on “Texture Layering.” You will learn the systems to produce a Chocolate Treats Class result: products that offer multiple sensations in every bite—from the aerated crunch of feuilletine to the silky density of professional ganache.
The genius of Raúl Bernal lies in his unexpected ingredient pairings. We dive into the Corn Nut Chocolate Bar, where you will learn to stabilize salty, fried corn (kikos) within a chocolate matrix to prevent the loss of crunch over time. The Chocolate Treats curriculum also covers the Pistachio Cherry Snack Bar, a masterclass in combining the earthy notes of nuts with the vibrant acidity of fruit gels and layered pralinés.
We explore the science of “Fat-Based Suspensions,” ensuring that your inclusions stay perfectly distributed throughout your Chocolate Treats, a common technical hurdle for artisanal producers.
Aesthetics are just as important as flavor. This section of the Chocolate Treats course covers the “Cherry Lollipop Rochers” and “Feuilletine Hazelnut Truffles.” You will learn professional dipping and rolling techniques to achieve that perfect “hand-finished” look that signals artisanal quality.
Finally, we discuss painted decoration. Chef Bernal shares his methods for using colored cocoa butter to add vibrant, modern touches to your Chocolate Treats. By the end of this tutorial, you will possess a new portfolio of highly profitable, visually stunning snacks that appeal to both the traditional palate and the modern foodie.
