Spartan alumna makes name as chocolatier

SPARTAN ALUMNA MAKES NAME AS CHOCOLATIER

Michigan State University artistic image

Michigan State has its very own Willy Wonka.

Last month, Alexandra Clark set out to make the "World's Longest Box of Chocolate" to help raise money to improve the Detroit Riverfront. Clark created a 313-foot box of chocolate to comemorate the city's area code.

Clark now owns Bon Bon Bon Chocolate located in Hamtramck, Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Clark's unique stores have been reviewed by both Vanity Fair and Martha Stewart to much success.

"Crazy unique packaging and flavors only a really stoned Willy Wonka can cook up," according to Vanity Fair.

Martha Stewart added, "Stars of the show: Goodies with unexpected flavors like gin & juice and bacon & eggs." 

Clark graduated from MSU in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in hospitality business.
