Christopher Elbow on new Valentine’s Day chocolates

Fat City caught up with Christopher Elbow to find out about a small-batch release of chocolate bon bons for Valentine’s Day. For  the effort, he teamed up with Patric Chocolate out of Columbia, Missouri.

“I have used Patric chocolate before to make some small batches of bon bons. Last year was the first year that Alan [McClure] from Patric and I decided to do something on a little bigger scale and we sold out of the chocolates very quickly,” Elbow writes in an e-mail.

Patric Chocolate is a micro-batch maker of dark chocolate, and this year’s bon bon is a chocolate ganache. It’s made from 70 percent chocolate as well as cream and butter — meaning you might be full after one small square.
