Chicago still has a strong body of locally made deserts (Blommer's Chocolate, Peerless Candy, Eli's Cheesecake, Canady le Chocolatier, Vosges Haut-chocolat, etc.)

I think they are an offshoot of the South Bend Chocolate company but, if memory serves, they do make the "Chicago" product locally.

Blommer's also manufactures in Ontario, Canada now.
The Choc cafe series is from SBN Choc company- good stuff and their diabetic chocs ROCK! Their fruit plate is good too, just ask for the strawberries on the side, as they tend to turn into a brick...And if you don;t like whip cream, pay attention and ask for it w/o.
My favorite is made up north a bit- what about Long Grove Chocs?
