Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
Dandelion is a respected bean to bar maker in the Mission District whose chocolate is just two ingredients, cocoa and sugar. Their hands on sessions let you and your child mould, flavour and wrap your own bar, or roll truffles together, in a working factory full of the smell of roasting cocoa. Classes are booked online and several are made for families.
Why it works for a dad and child
It is messy, sweet and entirely edible, which is the perfect combination for a young kid. You both walk out holding something you made by hand.
