I was casually munching on a box of one of my favorite candies the other day, Junior Mints, and when I went to read the calories on the back of the box (to see how many sit-ups I needed to do to burn off the calories) I was struck by something. On the back of the box, it says...

TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, LLC CHICAGO, IL

I had no idea that my delicious Junior Mints were made right here in the Land of Lincoln!

So it got me thinking "what other candies are made here in Illinois?" after a quick Google, I stumbled upon the website Chicago.gov, and they have a whole section of candies made in the Windy City. From Bloomer Chocolate to Tootsie, there are tons of famous candies made in Chicago, here is a list of some of them.
