The smell of baking brownies often blankets Chicago's northern Loop and River North neighborhoods. The source is actually Blommer's Chocolate Factory (http://www.blommer.com/) at Kinzie and Des Plaines. My blessing and curse is that they have a small retail shop, midway on the walk between my office and home.
I just bought some chunks of the Saratoga Dark. At 73% cacao, it's black as the ace of spades and has a rich, almost winey odor. The chocolate has a silky texture in your mouth, melts easily, and leaves you with a hint of coffee at the end. A one pound bag is an indulgence at $4.83, but it'll make you so happy.
