A small, artisanal chocolatier in Chicago, Katherine Anne creates delectable truffles and caramels using local, organic, or fair-trade ingredients. No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, and nothing you can't pronounce. Called "the best caramels we've had all year" by TimeOut Chicago, the honey-vanilla caramel is created using local wildflower honey, pure vanilla bean, and organic agave nectar. The truffles "give new meaning to incredibly rich taste", and are hand-dipped in the finest chocolate. Our boxes are handmade in a fair-trade workshop, where artisans use a long grass instead of tree products, creating a box that is as sustainable as it is beautiful. The perfect decadent, yet eco-friendly treat for special occasions.

Bessie Zeller didn’t start making her unique honey-based candy with the intent of turning it into a family business. Instead, she was just following a doctor’s orders. Zeller began creating the candy in her Lovell, Wyo. (pop. 2,367), home more than 50 years ago after an optometrist advised her that her son Mitchel’s vision would improve if sugar were eliminated from his diet. Looking for a sugar replacement, she turned to honey, which was in abundant supply because of her husband Clarence’s occupation as a beekeeper. “So, I started creating all my own recipes and did all my cooking, canning and baking with honey,” says Bessie, 79. “One year later, he didn’t need glasses.”
