If you’ve
ever been in the Loop or walking around the River North area and suddenly
smelled the sweet, sweet deliciousness of chocolate, you probably smell
Blommer Chocolate. I first stumbled upon them when
I lived downtown. I lived in The Loop
very close to Dailey Plaza (That’s where they got that Picasso), and one day, I
literally followed the smell to the candy factory.
I’m a very
lucky woman. My husband works downtown,
and as a fitness guy, opts to walk on his lunch hour. One day he came home and said, “hey, have you
ever heard of Blommer?” I immediately
shrieked and said, “BUY ME SOMETHING!”
Now, on occasion, he’ll bring me home a surprise. This was one of those
days.
I cut one in
half so you can get a sense of what is in them.
That is a giant almond, surrounded by a thick layer of toffee and then
smothered in dark chocolate. It’s a
little bit of heaven in every bite. Go
to their Facebook page
and “Like” them to get posts about their specials of the week. The little delight you see above is a buy one
bag – get one bag free.
So if you’re
looking for a sweet treat, visit them and pick up some of their chocolate. The owners still run the front of the store
and, from what my husband said, get really excited when you mention their
Facebook deals.
