Fannie May is providing curbside pickup for Easter

You can also inquire with your local store about our delivery options.

How I miss my Aunt taking me to our local Fannie May store. It was on the south side of Chicago that we would pick out chocolate eggs, quite an assortment of chocolate bunnies to fill baskets for family and, of course, one very special basket for me. Decades later, my own children did the same at their suburban Fannie May store in Downers Grove and Woodridge.

Fannie May makes over 100 different confections; constantly striving for the most delicious in chocolate creations. Their chocolate bunnies are an Easter classic. Coming in assorted sizes, they are made with milk and dark chocolate or white confections. You can also buy foiled wrapped eggs and bunnies as well as jelly bird eggs that are sweet and chewy. Another favorite is marshmallow eggs drenched in premium milk or dark chocolate.

For the past 100 years, Fannie May has been part of many Easter traditions. Family is so important now, more than ever before during this uncertain time. That’s why beginning on April 6, select Fannie May locations across Illinois and surrounding areas are open. They are open for curbside pickup so customers can safely pick up purchases by calling one of the participating locations and order via phone. You can also inquire with your local store about our delivery options. For the safety of everyone, customers will not be allowed in store.
