Katherine Anne Confections, a Chicago-based confiserie which features the delicious creations of confectionista Katherine Duncan, is excited to celebrate its favorite holiday—Valentine’s Day! In addition to being the perfect place to get a special treat for loved ones with an array from truffles, caramels, marshmallows and drinking chocolate, Katherine Anne Confections has also planned a weekend of events for all to enjoy.

On Friday, February 12 at 6:00 p.m., Katherine will be hosting a Truffle Making Party where attendees can make delicious treats to take home to their Valentine (or keep for themselves!), or a couple could enjoy doing this together. The confectionista opens her kitchen and recipe book as she demystifies the art of making truffles. To celebrate the month of love, Katherine will be focusing on all flavors tied to the heart (think strawberries, champagne & more!) Attendees will create classic hand-rolled truffles with the confectionista’s guidance and chill, scoop and roll truffles to completion. For more information, click here.
