“I had so much fun collaborating with the owner Patrick on a sour candy challenge for our block party. Kids and adults loved it, and I appreciated the creativity and attention to detail that seems built into the customer experience. 10/10 would recommend. Here’s to more fun!!!”
“This place has everything!! Manager was super helpful in finding what I was looking for. Best spot for bulk candy. I bought 15 pairs of pants and 4 jackets lol I legit love this spot”
“It was our first time in the store today and the staff was very helpful, patient, offered samples for treats that were being packaged at that time that we had never tried before. It was our first time there but it won't be our last!”
“Worth going to from anywhere!!
Visited their store at 1140 W. Exchange Ave for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. My Store Assistant, Malu, showed me the variety of nuts, candies, gift packed and bulk items as well as novelty candy items from loooong ago (wax mustache, candy cigarettes, etc.). I'm so impressed by the cleanliness of the store, the helpful and pleasant staff. A definite AAA++++ place to go to treat friends and family (and yourself) ? I'll be back !!!”
“Great bulk dry foods, just wish they had nutrition information available for their specific products. (When you look online for info there are often conflicting amounts of calories, carbs, etc. listed for foods & you aren't sure where the foods at the home economist would fall.)”
“OMG!!! This place is amazing, excellent service, clean facility, they just made a Wall-e piñata for my son and we loved it, every detail, very professional, iam very thankful.This place is incredible, excellent service, very clean and organized, I asked them to make a Wall-e piñata, we really loved it for the second year in a row, very professional, I thank them very much, thank you very much, I give them up to 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Had a hand made Chocolate covered Caramel Apple, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I also purchased some peanut butter toffee chocolate in a jar, it’s delicious and the packaging is perfect for gifting. Thank you Annette!!!”
“Aunt Diana's Old Fashioned Fudge (Riverside)
Date of Visit: October 2, 2024
Today, I stopped by Aunt Diana's Old Fashioned Fudge on Riverside, and it was an absolute treat! This small, nostalgic shop is a hidden gem for anyone who loves classic, old-fashioned candies. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of sweets, and the charming décor immediately takes you back to simpler times.
The selection of candies is impressive, offering everything from rich, creamy fudge to freshly made caramel apples, which are a must-try. The caramel was perfectly smooth and buttery, coating crisp, juicy apples that were absolutely delicious. It’s clear that everything is made with care and attention to quality, bringing back that authentic, homemade taste.
What really made my visit special were the two lovely ladies behind the counter. They were not only knowledgeable about the products but also incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Their genuine warmth and enthusiasm for what they do added a personal touch to the experience that you don’t often find anymore.
Whether you're looking to satisfy a craving for sweets or just want to experience a slice of nostalgia, Aunt Diana's is the perfect spot. I’ll definitely be returning for more of their amazing treats and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!”
“The absolute best chocolates in the world. A must have!
All fresh ingredients.
All hand made specialties, including house made English toffee (amazing), sea salt caramels, truffles,
ice cream bars, and several popcorn flavors. mmmmm!!!!!
Try once...
You'll be back!
Enjoy!”
“I am so happy for Mike and Torie first off the restaurant is so clean you can eat off the floor the food is made with love candy is that good old school candy .....mm next door is the game room beautiful come and support black own great hospitality
Parking: Everything I had on the menu was delicious
Kid-friendliness: Yes”
“Ladies that work there are a little impatient it seems,give customers a chance to pick out what they want. I felt rushed but thank goodness I knew what I wanted. But they were still nice”
“These pinatas are absolutely beautiful and extremely durable so they don't break open after 4 kids have had their turn swinging. Customer service is outstanding, very warm and helpful. You have to check them out, you'll be happy you did.”
“I have been going to Fannie May since I was a teenager. They still sell candy by the piece or cup, and you can mix and match. I love the Dixies, balls of delicious caramel rolled in toasted pecans. The dark chocolate candied citrus peel is great. You can buy a boxed set or create your own. The best part is that their staff are seniors that live near the store. It's like getting candy from your grandparents. They are very sweet, especially Jeanette from Broadview IL. I hope to work there as my third act.”
“Big daddy’s is by far the best fudge I’ve ever tasted. My favorite is the chocolate jack. Melt in your mouth creaminess, with the warmth of the whiskey. I give it as gifts and that’s the one everyone wants. Delivers every time!!!”
“Loved the new Maple flavor!
Parking: It's horrible after they open and even worse later in the day, but it was Labor day when we went.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, however the elevators weren't working on one side of the building making it impossible to get down to lower levels unless you went to the opposite side of the building like we had to.”
“By far my favorite candy shop in the area— anywhere really!. Always so nice & helpful. The chocolate is so delicious! Their choc covered strawberries & bananas (usually special order at the Indian Head Park store) are amazing! Can’t say enough nice things about Old Fashioned candies! Their Berwyn store has more offerings but if you want something they’ll bring it over, if you ask.”

“My mother introduced me to Fannie May when I was still in the womb. I'm 50. It never gets old. She's 81 and all she ever requests when I go to Chicago is Fannie May.”
“We ordered Nutstop because we were looking for a healthier snack option for the kids during sports games. We are pleasantly surprised! Nutstop is so good! They have so many options and we have found ourselves eating nutstop for all our snacks! They have so many options. My kids love the chamoy rings and the watermelon slice gummies. We have also been snacking on the healthy nut mix and moms favorite the milk chocolate Almonds. They have great prices and the quantity is alot! Definitely recommend.”
“Thank you to the young lady who provided great customer on Father's Day evening. She also went above and beyond by returning the cell phone I left on the counter today. God bless you!!!”

“I stopped here because of the sign in the window advertising English toffee. Upon entering I was a bit skeptical, it had an interesting smell and not much of a selection. I got 1/2 lb of toffee which was around $15. The employee was very nice which improved the experience and the toffee ended up being delicious!”

“Forest Park's sweetest attraction is the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. The area exudes a sweet aroma from the candy being crafted inside the factory.The "pan" in the Ferrara Pan name comes from the method in which the candies are made. An open, rotating pan is used to get that hard-candy finish on all your favorites like Original Boston Baked Beans, Sour Cherries, and NERDS.Check out the cool cow head sculpture right below the sign. The cow holds significance for the building as Ferrara relocated to the current premises in the early 1960s. It was previously occupied by Borden Dairy. Elsie the Cow, a mascot created by Borden in 1936, is prominently featured throughout the building's design.”
“Their nuts tasted so good in my mouth. It’s like you don’t even want to swallow, you just want to suck on them. I’m definitely going back and letting their nuts come into my mouth again!”
