[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love chocolate and mint together. I don’t think I’d be a fan of those frangos, though, because I idslike the fake taste of sprinkles, nonpareils, etc. How have I never heard of this compny frangos, though?! I am from the east coast - are these candies more popular in the midwest (based on the posters’ responses). [/quote] Yes, originally they were made exclusively for Marshall Fields. When Macys bought out many department stores nationwide, they acquired Marshall Fields and started selling Frangos in their stores. The old Marshall Fields on State St in downtown Chicago had a huge candy section in the basement.[/quote] Close, but they were originally made for Frederick & Nelson’s, a Seattle department store—hence the name (Frangos). It was then licensed by Marshall Fields, and then bought by Macy’s. Always delicious![/quote] Thanks for the history. I didn’t know where the name came from.[/quote]
