How Online chocolate workshop works
Did you know that chocolate originated in Mexico? The Aztecs are considered the inventors of the cocoa drink: they mixed crushed cocoa beans with water and whisked it with a molinillo, a traditional whisk made from turned wood. Today, chocolate is one of the most popular treats in the world.
In our online chocolate workshop, you become a chocolatier at home. Our special chocolate kits contain everything we need for the online team event. Besides cocoa butter, beans and powder, you’ll find chillies, a fermented vanilla pod and cane sugar in your kit. A real molinillo from Mexico – which we’ll use later to whisk up a traditional cocoa drink – is in there too.
We start with a fascinating look at the history of cacao. After that introduction, it’s straight into the action: together, we make our own chocolate bar from the ingredients laid out in front of you. Of course, it doesn’t stop at one bar. We vary the cocoa content and experiment with all sorts of special extras, to your own taste. While your chocolate bars rest in the fridge, we use the molinillos to prepare Mexico’s national drink: a cocoa drink just as the Aztecs drank it over 2,000 years ago.
Meanwhile, our chocolate expert uses impressive pictures and short videos from his travels through South America to show what sets different growing regions and production methods apart. Along with fascinating insights, participants find out why milk chocolate contains no milk, why the best chocolate doesn’t come from Switzerland, and why the global price of chocolate correlates with Bitcoin.
At the end, everyone proudly presents their own chocolate bars to the virtual applause of the other participants. And then, finally, it’s time to tuck in…
Chocolate tastes good online too!
Something sweet to bring you together
Our virtual chocolate workshop brings your team closer together, even when everyone is remote. Together you make your own chocolate creations, experiment with new flavour combinations and share moments that will be remembered long after the event is over. And of course, there’s plenty of nibbling along the way.
Food for thought
Besides the hands-on part, our workshop offers fascinating insights into the world of cacao: from its origins with the Aztecs to modern production methods. Videos that bring it all to life and personal stories from our chocolate expert make this event not only entertaining and delicious, but also full of things to discover.

How was it? Here’s what our clients say
These companies joined our events and created lasting memories. Read what participants say about their experience.
As the organiser of our internal events, it is a huge relief to be able to leave things in the hands of Amit, Johannes and their team. That way, I know the event will be a success. They plan with care around our wishes and organise everything perfectly, down to the smallest detail. On Saturday, we had our fourth event with teamio and once again everyone was thoroughly impressed.
It was a great, entertaining evening and everyone enjoyed the quiz. Patrick and Edgar worked brilliantly with the two women and kept us perfectly entertained. They even thought of a prize for the winning team! ;-) Thank you – we will definitely be coming back to you ... !! :)
Thank you for the great 5-Kampf!! A fantastic team on site and solution-focused communication beforehand!
When we decided to run a farm olympics event during our summer party, I was very sceptical about how it would go down with our colleagues. My brief to teamio was to get every last employee excited about the challenge. I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but YOU DID IT!!! The event was a great success: well prepared, brilliantly hosted and delivered on time. The feedback from colleagues was entirely positive. YOU WERE SIMPLY BRILLIANT, and I’m looking forward to our next event with you!
Everything went brilliantly, from the first contact to the end of the event. The whole team is fantastic, and we will definitely recommend teamio. The next event is already being planned ;-) Thank you for everything.
It isn’t easy to bring together 90 employees from three countries and involve everyone in a way that makes the activities enjoyable. It worked wonderfully: I received nothing but very positive feedback, and we are very grateful for the quick turnaround and perfect delivery of our event.
