This Monster Lineup is Pretty Sweet
While some may wait for the first pumpkin spice latte, we prefer Monster Shakes each September to kick off our favorite fall activities.
When an artist’s chosen medium is chocolate, the result is not only a sight to behold, but also delicious.
Cherri Emery, the artist turned chocolatier, is the mastermind behind Cherri’s Chocol’art on the Kalamazoo Mall where she’s been turning out magnificent chocolate creations for over a decade.
This fall’s lineup of delights is no exception. Our monster start to fall kicks off with these delicious treats, plus some spooky chocolate covered Oreos.
BONUS: If you’re looking to master your own chocolate skills, they are now teaching classes too!

What is a “Monster” Shake?
These over-the-top food creations from Cherri’s shop are like no milkshake you’ve ever had.
Often including full brownies, cookies, or donuts, these gigantic desserts include embellishments you won’t find elsewhere- many of which are made from scratch in their shop!
Monster Shakes are available all year long, with flavors rotating seasonally using Lafayette Creamery’s ice cream.
The shakes are $12.25. For an addition $2, you can split the treat for two (and ensure extra toppings and equal ice cream).
