Petrova Chocolates: The Chocolate Club
Creating chocolate is no small task for Betty Petrova, owner of Petrova Chocolates (petrovachocolates.com). Each bonbon is carefully crafted in small batches over a three-day period of polishing molds, painting with colored cocoa butter, tempering the chocolate into thin shells and filling them with harmonious flavors inspired by the seasons, her travels and childhood memories. Are you craving chocolate yet? If so, The Chocolate Club subscription will certainly push you over the edge. With two levels to choose from, we recommend the Gold subscription for an ultimate experience: a 16-piece box of bonbons, a chocolate bar and surprise item.
