Lannie Confections was founded by Mark Lannie. Chef Mark Lannie started his career on the culinary side of the kitchen. He soon realized his creativity was better suited for desserts. He grew this skill and excelled as a pastry chef at some of the finest hotels in Chicago. As a pastry chef, Mark Lannie began creating unique chocolates. He followed his passion for chocolates and has studied chocolate making with the top chocolatiers in the world.

Mark Lannie believes in using only the highest quality chocolate as a base for his confections. The chocolates used are from a single-bean origin and these are the rarest chocolate beans grown in the world.

The same quality principal applies to his fillings. The ganaches are made with fresh cream and European style butter. The nut pastes are homemade using the freshest nuts available. And the fruit fillings are made with the finest European fruit purees.

The confections created by Mark Lannie have unique textures and flavors. For example, the smoothness and creaminess of a ganache compliments the clean crisp taste of the chocolate shell. The flavor of the fruit filling intensifies the chocolate that surrounds it. He strives to create unique flavor combinations that will satisfy the sophisticated palate.
