Katherine Anne Confections

4430 N Clifton #2
Chicago, IL 60640

Katherine Anne has been making decadent confections ever since her childhood on a Wisconsin farm. Her mother taught her how to use fresh cream from the family's Jersey cows to create batches of old-fashioned caramels. During the holidays, her father sold "Katharine's Karamels" at work for 25 cents each. Over the years, Katherine's passion for creating artisanal confections grew, and she perfected three classic caramel flavors and six exquisite truffle varieties.

Her confections are handmade using ‘only the finest ingredients’: Guittard chocolate, heavy cream, and locally produced wildflower honey. The finished truffles and caramels are then packaged in handmade, sustainable boxes for a beautiful presentation. Her dedication to quality has already been recognized by the Chicago Sun Times and TimeOut Chicago.
