Franklin and Sue Di Vilio dip nuts, fruits, creams, and assorted oddities in milk and dark chocolate, based on the recipes of Frank's uncle, who ran a home-based business many years ago from 7th and Becher. The creams come in classic butter and chocolate-filled, as well as raspberry, maple, banana and lime. They dip ginger and toffee and fairy food and Oreos too.

Back to the amazing licorice shorties! We're selling them at Schwartz in both milk and dark varieties for a limited time, three packs for $2.75. Frank doesn't have a wholesale license, and frankly (get it?) isn't set up to do wholesale business yet so we are buying them from him retail. Try a pack from us, and I'm sure you'll wind up paying a pilgrimage to Bay View yourself. Alas, we're not selling by mail but Frank is.
Above right, Schwartz marketing director Nancy Quinn savors the tastiness of chocolate-coated licorice.
One last thing about chocolate. We have this really great chocolate-shaped book called Chocolat that includes recipes, selection, philosophy, and pairings. It's very cool--shaped like a chocolate bar. I would also suggest that every chocolate lover read Steve Almond's Candyfreak. I certainly hope you've read this, but if not, it's a must for every lover of things sweet, literary, and independent.
