The Fudge Pot

When we were in Old Town last week we were able to stop at one of our favorite places, the Fudge Pot (1532 N. Wells).  The smell, when you open the door of this chocolate shop, is so heavenly you just want to breathe it all in.  The shop is small and full of display cases that show off all of the amazing things you can order made out of chocolate like animals, cars, flowers, boxes - just about anything you can imagine.  Most of those type of items need to be pre-ordered but there are plenty of yummy things in the store you can take home that day.  Our personal favorites are the barks.  They come in milk, white, and dark chocolate and you can choose almond, macadamia nut, coconut, crunch, and more.  They also sell a wide variety of fudge, chocolate candies, caramel apples, and other chocolate covered items like strawberries and pretzels.  Everything is so good!  When we were there last, our daughters got giant chocolate Rudolph suckers and they really couldn't have been happier.  This is a great place to get a Christmas gift or to just indulge during the holiday season.  They are open seven days a week from noon until 10 PM (midnight on Friday and Saturday nights).
