PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie May, maker of the Midwest's favorite chocolate treats for over 100 years, is bringing two new innovations into the chocolate category: Fannie May Premium Chocolate Bars and Rocky Road Chocolatier's Mix. These two new offerings will provide brand-new ways for fans to enjoy Fannie May's unparalleled confections, whether you're taking an indulgent moment for yourself, or if you're on-the-go visiting family and friends.
