DOWNTOWN / CROSSROADS

Christopher Elbow

Crossroads
📍1819 McGee St, KCMO
We love this little shop for bringing art and chocolate together. Each piece of handcrafted chocolate is carefully airbrushed creating a variety of colors and flavors that range from Venezuelan Spice to Lavender Carmel. The chocolates can be purchased individually or in 4, 9, 16, 21, and 48-piece customizable collections that make for the perfect holiday gift. It’s local, it’s creative, it’s delicious, it’s chocolate. What’s not to love?
