Katherine Anne Confections

Ready for a little Midwestern tale? Katherine was a Wisconsin farm girl who started experimenting with candy making at the ripe age of 10, using cream from her fam's Jersey cows. Forget a lemonade stand. This kid was selling soft, old-fashioned caramels (named Katherine's Karamels) at her dad's office for $0.25 a pop. You can guess what happened next. Katherine, all grown-up, moved to the Windy City in 2006 and launched her first Chicago shop. And, yes, she's still the one in the kitchen stirring the pot.
