Bon Bon Chicago

Description:

• Given that its confections have been featured in Playboy magazine, it should come as no surprise that bon bon Chicago is a chocolate boutique like no other. Bon bon is famous for its graphic box of Kama Sutra chocolate blocks which each feature a different entangled-body frieze from its namesake. For those looking for a less carnal treat, this chocolate shop also is known for its unique flavor combinations, each made with the highest-quality chocolate sourced from France and Belgium. Bon bon's exotic creations include fillings such as arbol chili, cinnamon, Chai tea, rose petals, and ginger. Their handmade chocolates come in several unique shapes, including miniature versions of Cleopatra, King Tut, and Buddha. These delicious chocolate beauties come at a price however—expect to pay about $60/pound. Given the exquisite handwork and unbelievable taste, this is one splurge that just might be worth the price. – Susan Berg
