Fran's Chocolates
Smoked Salt Caramels
Seattle, WA

OMFG! Are these caramels delicious. The caramel is like butt-tah.
Crystalized smoked salt gives a kick to the creamy and smooth chocolate. These are to die for.
And I just might if they become a habit.
I received a small box of these in a gift box of cupcake supplies from Sur le Table.
Once you taste them you'll become a regular. They are heavenly.
They're also the favorite of Barack and Michelle Obama.
Which is why, no doubt, this Seattle-based chocolatier has become quite popular.
Of course, Fran's was named by the best chocolate maker in the U.S.

"Graced with cranberries, white chocolate and blueberries, our decadent brownie symbolizes our true colors and our collaborative efforts as a nation.
Created and baked fresh with pride in a kitchen in Austin, Texas. "

The Mary Louise Butter Brownies website created the Obama Brownie as a "delicious representation of our country's patriotism and unity" as our country gears up for a blow out celebration of the upcoming historical inauguration of our new President. Joining their line of charity brownies, the Obama brand is designed to draw attention to the hunger and poverty in our country. Proceeds from the sales of the Obama Brownie will benefit Feeding America a domestic hunger relief organization.

The Obama Brownies are also sold in gift sets of 3, 6 or 12 brownies. You can order them and the other delicious flavors online. The brownies have a shelf life of 8 to 10 weeks and can be refrigerated. Freezing the brownies will keep them fresh for months.

Obama Cupcakes from Fluffy Thoughts Bakery

Story from the Washingtonian:

Obama Cupcakes are hot again. The Fluffy Thoughts Bakery in McLean, Virginia has been baking treats with Obama’s likeness since before the election, when she sold cupcakes to raise funds for his campaign. Now, with the election in the bag, she’s selling Obama cupcakes and cake toppers to inauguration-crazed crowds looking for a celebratory sugar rush.

A few inaugural-ball hosts have contacted Stuckey to make desserts for their events, and she’s taken tons of orders from private individuals hosting house parties to celebrate the inauguration.

Her most popular item is the Obama cupcake ($4). Using Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obama image, Stuckey and her small team of two create each Obama face out of white chocolate screened with the image.

Obama Cupcake from Fluffy Thoughts Bakery

According to the interview, Stuckey will take inauguration orders through Friday, but after that, she won’t be answering her phone. “We’ll be working around the clock this weekend, piping chocolate all night long,” she says. “I probably won’t want to see the stuff for at least a month afterward.”
