WHAT: Chicagoans are in for a handful of sweet treats this month, dreamt up by two of Chicago’s best pastry minds–Mary Eder-McClure and Dana Cree. Inspired by the bite-sized Israeli sweet treat, the two have teamed up to bring you Krembo in two totally unique ways. Available at Galit for dessert is thePretty Cool Krembo, made with orange blossom marshmallow parfait, olive oil chocolate ganache, cardamom spiced shortbread, and a pistachio/mandarin crumble.
