Candy Chat Chicago

Saturday night at Leah's annual Hanukkah party, the talk turned to candy and the microphones came out! Laurel Crown, Nick Manesis and Daliah Fritz all joined Jocelyn next to the fire pit to talk about candy and taste test from the Fannie May Colonial Box. Then Jocelyn dropped by a few nights later to try more caramels, jelly beans and see if Lily's candy choices could be redeemed.
