"I am not a baker. I hate it. I hate having to put anything in the oven and watch it. I always burn it."
"I think the beauty in all of this is how fresh and delicious the chocolate is when you make it yourself."

Brittany Nemandoust learned to make chocolate during the early COVID-19 pandemic after her sister brought home a handmade bar.
