We signed up for the &ldquo;bean to bar&rdquo; workshop. This wasn&rsquo;t our first chocolate factory tour, but this was so much better than any of the others. They didn&rsquo;t include picking cocoa pods or fermenting or drying the beans, but we did get to roast them, grind them into paste using a mortar and pestle, make various chocolate drinks, and finally make our own chocolate bars. We also learned a lot along the way. I really enjoyed the whole experience. If you&rsquo;re ever in Antigua and you like chocolate, this is a workshop for you. And it&rsquo;s only $25 per person. Very worth it.</p>
