Ideal Bite

Got some sugaring up to do to get the gift you really want? Put this on the table (or under the tree): Katherine Anne truffles, handmade in Chicago with locally sourced, organic ingredients (yep, our farms are still going in winter). Try KA's seasonal concoctions, like the totally tart-astic cranberry-blood orange (see photo) with local wildflower honey from May's Honey Farms and the (commence drooling) pumpkin truffle, spiced up with a splash of rum. Their stylish packaging's made from sustainable long grasses rather than trees, so chomping these instead of conventional chocs helps keep toxic chems off local crops and CO2 from shipping to a minimum. Shake on that.
