Raise your hand if Garrett Popcorn or Frango Chocolate are part of your Holiday traditions? Everyone should have a hand raised! The Holidays are here, so that means Ioanna and Aaron dedicate every waking thought to food.  

Two timeless Chicago classics that are especially relevant during Christmastime are these two iconic delicacies. Family-owned by Garrett Brands, the company is responsible for delivering high quality holiday smiles and passing down memories that have been in Chicago families for generations.

Whether you were first enticed by the smell of their signature caramel corn drifting down Michigan Ave or if Frango has been a tradition in your family since grandma first took you to Marshall Field’s, nearly every Chicagoan has a story to tell when it comes to these treats. We welcome Megan and Lindsay of Garrett Brands to pop us a bag of freshly caramelized history behind the products and to give us a peek into what they have “FRANgoing” on this holiday season.
