There is one thing that drives me and my husband crazy, and that thing is a great chocolate cake. He’s as thin as a rail, but you would never know why if you have ever seen him dive into a good cake. The chocolate cake recipe doesn’t even have to be a special one, but you can see his eyes light up like it is Christmas morning if I stumble upon and make a really good one.

Brach in 1904, Brach’s Candy quickly expanded from the initial small storefront shop on the corner of North Avenue and Towne Street in Chicago, IL, to become one of America's largest candy companies in a relatively brief period of time. Emil Brach was not alone in this endeavor, but was joined by his two sons, Edwin and Frank. The Brach family has a definite recipe for success. The key to this success was to produce the highest quality candy, using the most up-to-date manufacturing and distribution processes available, and finally offer the customers a wide variety of products at a fair price.
