Still, School Of Chocolate Daniel also admitted that the reality show did not come without any challenges. Of all, Daniel shared, the most challenging part of being on this show was to be able to develop products on the fly. “It made me have to think outside the box, but also humbled me to realize that sometimes less is more, and served as a reminder that there can be a need to go back to basics”, Daniel talked to Delish.
