Every year since before I was born, my grandma Patch has made the BEST chocolates I have every tasted. My grandma is a great cook and has so much talent and I decided to join in on the fun in hopes that I can carry on the tastiest tradition!
We went to my grandma's house and spent the day making all kinds of chocolates. The story behind why my grandma began making chocolates is a very interesting story. When she was a young mother living in North Dakota, if a new church house was to be built, it was up to the members to come up with 70% of the funding. The way that my grandmother contributed, as well as other people, is that they made homemade chocolates and sold them. People from all over the county would faithfully buy grandma's chocolates during holidays. After a few years of saving, they had enough money and helped fund the building of the first ward house in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Kind of a cool story! My grandma is an expert at making chocolates and it was an honor to be able to help keep this tradition going! So yummy too!
