Chicago’s reputation is on the line. Who makes the better chocolate marshmallow egg, Fannie May or California-based See’s Candies? Now that these are on sale, I want to make sure I order mass quantities of the better of the two. ---

Why did you do that? Chocolate/marshmallow eggs are my downfall. I have not even thought of them . Now you started it. We prefer Russel Stover in Detroit. Off season we go for Pinwheels. which come in a single serving package of 12. ---

Since this is about food, it’s better suited for Cafe Society than GQ. Colibri General Questions Moderator ---

Russel Stover is the Yugo of the chocolate world. 😃 I never heard of Fannie May but I can’t imagine how See’s can be beat. ---

I have had Fannie May chocolate, and it’s good…but it isn’t See’s Candy good. I may be biased though. ---

Yes. You’re biased. Nothing is as good as Fannie May’s chocolate. That is objective fact. ---

Off season we go for Pinwheels. which come in a single serving package of 12. Seriously? Russel Stover? That’s the stuff you buy at the 24-hour Walgreens because you forgot tommorow is Easter. ---

There are much cheaper ones available. I like them too. Marshmallows are marshmallows. With chocolate they are better. I have to make some home made marshmallows. Looks easy on the cooking channel. ---

Looks easy on the cooking channel. Invest in about 200 yards of painters’ plastic. Otherwise you’ll never get your kitchen unsticky again. ---

Fannie May makes excellent candy. The best chocolate I’ve ever eaten was Godiva but that’s off topic. I’ve never heard of See.
