Fran's Chocolates

Easter Sunday, April 5: 12PM - 5PM

That Fran's Welsh smoked-salt caramels are a favorite of President Obama should give you an idea that this downtown chocolatier is worth a visit. While caramels are the specialty, there are lots of other delicious chocolates, including unusual chocolate-dipped figs.

It would be hard to complain if life were like a box of Frans chocolates. The seattle chocolatier is a great place to pick up assorted truffles and caramels (including the salted kind favored by Mr. Obama) and the sleek setting at Four Seasons is perfect for people watching. Individual truffles can be pricey and will leave you wanting more. Best to spring for a box.

From the tantalizing ganache in her luscious truffles, to the bold, and slightly addictive gray and smoked salt caramels, take a moment to note the textures and flavors that layer themselves, one on top of the other. It is the magic of this experience that compels Fran’s to seek the extraordinary.
