2026 Terms and Conditions
Before we dive into the lovely legal stuff, here’s the deal:
I believe in hard work, but also that none of us “makes it on our own” in this life, with or without chocolate. In my classes, and my life as a chocolate maker, I give credit where credit is due, and share my insights abundantly.
Thank you for respecting not just copyright law, but the hard work I put into creating the Next Batch.
xxoo, Mackenzie
