Treats & Goodies

Chicago's fairs and markets never cease to bring me joy, especially when pastries are involved! With the cooler weather creeping in, most of them are wrapping up till next year but the few that stick it out during fall/winter are fabulous.

Salted Caramel sells delicious caramel popcorn with either smoked pecans or bacon. Andrew tried and loved the bacon but the pecans—ZOMG!

Pecan Caramel Corn
Mayana Chocolate had a HUGE assortment. I really wish I'd gotten 100 more macarons though, they were absolutely adorable and delicious.

Sesame Macaron & Coconut Peanut Butter Brownie

Spiced Rum Coconut Truffles
