In Michigan, a locally owned chocolate shop was just named among the best in the country by USA Today’s 10Best. They recently published a report highlighting some of America’s best chocolate stores.

However, the best chocolate shop in Michigan happens to have six locations. In fact, three of them are in Detroit. Regardless, all six are as much fun as they are delicious.
