Chicago: Margie's Candies
The night's not over until you get dessert. Since we were in the area, we stopped by Margie's Candies for some ice cream.
Margie's Candies has an old-school charm to it: mini-jukeboxes on every table, cushy booths, and old pictures lining the walls:
The menu is just one step short of being overwhelming, but we managed to narrow it down to the Turbo Turtle Sundae:
That's three scoops of ice cream of your choice, caramel, whipped cream, pecans, wafer cookies, and hot fudge on the side. For our ice cream, we went with coffee, praline, and pistachio.
First things first, the fudge is amazing. Warm, gooey, and sinfully chocolate-y. Perfect. At first, I couldn't taste any of the flavors besides pistachio, which was light and fresh, just the way I like it. Then I realized that the only reason why I couldn't taste the coffee or the praline was because of the fudge. Without the overpowering awesomeness of the fudge, the coffee was subtle in a good way and the praline was slightly sweet, slightly salty, and downright tasty.
For less than $10 a sundae, that's a steal.
