Sean's Chocolate Truffles

Our favorite chocolate maker operates out of a pizza place in Walker's Point, Milwaukee!... Atomic Chocolate is the amazing creation of Sean Henninger of Times Square Pizza. ​We were lucky enough to get a lesson from him in truffles at The National.

My favorite things... Granada chocolate, sea salt, red wine with cream and brandy waiting... #truffles #chocolate #granada
