Kansas City Reality Check
All eyes were on the quarterbacks in Sunday s Super Bowl LV: Patrick Mahomes, 25, for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tom Brady, 43, in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after two decades with the New England Patriots. For Mahomes, it was a chance to win back-to-back championships, a feat not accomplished since 2003 and 2004.
You can now find some of the prettiest chocolates in Missouri at a storefront in a Blue Springs strip mall.Â
Bliss Chocolatier is now open in Blue Springs, Missouri, serving gourmet bonbons, malt balls, sponge toffee and more. The business is owned by chocolate-maker Jessica Washburn and her mom, Pat Jarstad.
Washburn only began making chocolate a few years ago. She originally went to college for chemistry, but she ended up graduating with a degree in art history. While living in upstate New York, she made a living as a professional photographer, but when her family moved to the Kansas City area, she took a step back to help her kids settle into the Midwest.Â
If you want to impress someone with chocolate, get the impressive chocolate

When Jessica Washburn was searching for a name for her new artisan chocolate store in Blue Springs, she wanted something simple, yet something patrons would remember.
That’s when she found bliss – perfect happiness, contentment, joy – in the world of chocolate. She teamed up with her mother, Pat Jarstad, to open Bliss Chocolatier last month and has found it combines the best of three things she loves – art, science and food.
“The candy is pretty and it tastes good,” said 6-year-old Nora Turnbush, who was visiting Bliss along with her brother John, sister Sophia and mother Jodi.
