A Michigan chocolate shop has been listed as one of the Top 10 in the entire country. Bon Bon Bon has landed at No. 7 on USA Today’s 10 Best Chocolate Shops in the U.S. list. “This Hamtramck-based artisan chocolate company creates bonbons with clever flavor combinations and eye-catching designs that look as delicious as they taste,” USA Today wrote. Bon Bon Bon founder and Head Chocolatier, Alexandra Clark, started the business 10 years ago in the back of a Coney Island restaurant. Since then, she has landed on Forbes “30 under 30″ list as she and her chocolatiers make more than 100 different varieties of custom hand-made chocolates with two locations in Detroit and one in Ann Arbor. “In their handiwork, Bon Bon Bon’s confectioners — lovingly nicknamed ‘The Babes Babes Babes’ — apply classic French techniques with Detroit ingenuity, along with local ingredients, to make these delectables,” USA Today added. And just this month, Clark announced she will open her first chocolate shop outside of Michigan, not including pop-ups. The shop will be in Boston.
