“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!”

“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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was a nice little candy shop. Parking can be confusing but make sure you read the signs. I just parked a couple mins away on one of the side streets, where it said free parking for 4 hrs. Just to be on the safe side. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a good selection of the bark candy including the popular lemon bark and English toffee. Don’t forget you can also sample them before picking one. I sampled the dark chocolate mole and roasted almond sea salt bark. Both of the barks weren’t too sweet. I recommend coming here either when they open or early afternoon, traffic could suck especially if you take the tollways. Prices are reasonable for the high quality ingredients.-Dark chocolate mole 5 - if you smell it before eating, you can catch a whiff of the pasilla peppers that went into these. Not spicy at all but you do get a very mild, subtle after taste. Good blend of spices. I recommend getting a sample.-Coffee crunch 5 - I’m not a coffee person but this was delicious. Toffee and white chocolate had a creamier taste than the other two.-Mini cookie crumble 5 - can’t go wrong with mini. It’s like eating. Nice prominent mint smell and flavor combined with that nice crunchy taste.”
“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,

You'll be back!

“What a wonderful place! I was searching the Chicagoland area for "custom piñata's" for my 6 year old son's "skyscraper" themed birthday party. I didn't think I'd find a custom John Hancock Center pinata, but lo and behold, the amazing folks at Pinatas & More came through and did an AMAZING job creating a custom piñata of a John Hancock Center replica. It was well made, reasonably priced, and was ready when they said it would be. What a great store/service!”
“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”

“My first time going to this location, after it being stationed at this address for years was back on April 15, 2023. The person serving candy on this day was lady by the name of Max. She was nice, hospitable and just a consummate professional. Because the second time I came to this location (ALMOST A WEEK LATER) the same person Max was there to service candy to the customers on this day. I usually visit the location downtown (NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE) because it is bigger store with more of a variety but if I am ever in need for chocolate in the future this will probably be my go to location seeing is most locations are starting to close, again makes me filled with SADNESS!!”
“My employer sells Argires products in our cafeteria in Pennsylvania. Probably the best cheddarcorn I've ever had in my life. I've never been a huge fan of caramel corn, but for some reason I really like the way Argires makes it. If I'm ever going to or passing through Chicago I'm definitely going to come check this place out and stock up. Very tasty!”

“This store takes me back to my childhood, the cups and bowls made from barro (clay) like my mom used in her kitchen long ago. A variety of piñatas and "Mexican" candy to fill them. Wooden utensils and large ollas (pots). I will mostlikely return again and again, the owner is helpful & friendly too.”
“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.”
“Sahagian Candy is a confections manufacturer and not a retail store. They manufacture bubblegum, licorice, taffy, caramel corn, sweets, sours and gummies. The major brands are the Yard of Bubblegum and Licorice. They do private label brands and specialty runs for occasions and events! They don't sell direct to consumer, but they do sell to everyone from party planners, gift basket and floral companies, grocery stores to big box stores and major department store chains! If you want to make something really special with candy... it's worth a call to see if they can do it for you!”
“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!!!”
“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.”

“A one stop shop ????, you can have it all if you have a sweet tooth they have a large variety of candy, & they have the best snowballs in town from the size of the cups to the many flavors SOME I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF lbs. And if your hungry and want a quick meal Sugar Dealers will get you right faster than any restaurant will. Also last but not least the owners mom is a lovely friendly woman that brings wonderful energy as soon as you hit the door WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK”
“THIS LOCATION UNLIKE HOMEWOOD IL LOCATION HAD PLENTY OF CHOCOLATE. THEIR DISPLAYS WERE FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE AND PLENTY OF ASSORTMENT OF DISPLAYS THAT HAD A VARIETY TO CHOSE FROM ON THE SIDES OF THE DISPLAYS IN THE BACKSIDE. THE SERVICE WAS DECENT BUT SHE WAS SAD, SHE DIDNT HONOR MY COUPON BASED ON A MISTAKE FROM CHICAGO RIDGE LOCATION AND THEY DONT TAKE A $100 HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS ANY LONGER AT FANNIE MAE CANDY LOCATIONS.
Parking: PLENTY LOTS”
“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.”

“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.”
“Friendly staff that treats you like family! It is rare when I write a review about a place that I actually like! I love Villa's Nuts & Candy. My husband and I were so overwhelmed by all of their products and we kept asking for an additional ounce or half ounce of something, we kept adding to our order, and Maricela was more than nice. I ordered chocolate covered strawberries and tons of nuts!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! The woman who helped me was as sweet as the candy they sell,,very personable and friendly,,I wish more people would be so nice,,really made me smile,
Parking: Lots of spots”
