Lou Malnatti's Deep Dish Pizza

Stan's Donuts
I miss many things about Chicago, and Stan's is right at the top. Their donuts are beyond good. In fact the Apple Fritters are one of my favorite foods. I have linked you to their page on Goldbelly. You can order 12 or 24. Whatever you do, treat yourself to an Apple Fritter. These are worth every penny and calorie.

Goldbelly

Peppermint Bark
You can only find this at Williams Sonoma.  It's often copied but never matched. The bark is made with white chocolate, dark chocolate, and  peppermint candy. It's addictive! You have your choice of three sizes packed in a nostalgic tin.
