Custom components add an elegant touch to any dessert pairing. That’s why we’re leaving our mark (in chocolate). Follow these steps for an easy way to dress up your desserts with custom chocolate stamps and leave your dinner companions with a lasting impression.
Plus, chocolate and wine might have more in common than you think. As in winemaking, terroir and craft create chocolate with distinct qualities and flavor profiles. Pour a glass of Bonterra wine made with organically farmed grapes and get your confection on!
