Ms Tobin and Ms Carey’s second year Home Economics classes had an enjoyable trip to Butlers Chocolate Experience. They first looked at a film about the history of chocolate and the history of Butlers Chocolates. They then took a walk through the chocolate museum and had a look at the action on the factory floor. They ended their visit in the Experience room where they got to practice what they had learned to be a chocolatier and decorate their own chocolate Santa.
