and gum.. to taffy and fudge, you can't talk about the 'sweet side'
of Chicago without rounding up the coolest candy shops in the city.

Sugar Skulls
One fixture of the annual celebration of the Day of the Dead is
a cross between a work of art.. and candy. Yes, it is the time of
year for the making of the sugar skulls. Janet Davies headed to
the National Museum of Mexican Art, right in the heart of Chicago's
Pilsen neighborhood, to see how these beautiful treats are made.
