The art of creating those decadent chocolate treats we love is truly an art form and one not just anyone can master. USA Today completely understands this thought and set out to find the absolute best chocolate shops across the country for their annual USA Today 10Best List.

"This Hamtramck-based artisan chocolate company, with stores in Michigan, creates bonbons with clever flavor combinations and eye-catching designs that look as delicious as they taste. 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.
