From the November issue: Here’s where to find artisan chocolates in Baton Rouge
Creating snappy chocolate shells and molds filled with buttercream or ganache is both art and science, a game of balancing time and temperature and controlling the interactions of the ingredients. Even mass-produced candies like Godiva or Lindt must take these elements into consideration.
When it comes to small-batch chocolates handmade in interesting molds, there are several Baton Rouge makers worthy of love from us chocoholics. Added bonus: They make great desserts to add to the Thanksgiving table, too!
