The first time I had Kevin’s homemade chocolate, he wasn’t my brother-in-law yet. He was my sister’s new boyfriend, and he’d come to spend New Year’s with us at my parents’ house in the mountains of New York. He met us for the first time there, covered in snow, armed with white boxes wrapped in crisp navy ribbon. 
The boxes contained beautifully packaged mini chocolates of every variety: mint-filled squares, peanut butter cups, coconut-filled ones, and chocolate-covered cherries, each one somehow more delicious than the last.
