“Freese's Malted Milk Balls: Freese's Candy Shoppe first opened in 1928 by founder Otto Freese. It's located in West Allis, which is just west of Milwaukee, WI. Almost 100 years later they're still going strong using family recipes passed down over three generations. My Uncle gave me these Malted Milk Balls (MMBs) for Christmas and basically told me that Freese's makes some high-quality sweets. Initially I was a little skeptical as I'm not the biggest fan of MMBs, but to be fair the only MMBs I've had were Whoppers. The thought of Freese's balls also made me smirk a bit as the name reminds me of a possible counterpart to that old SNL skit featuring Alec Baldwin's Schweddy balls. All joking aside, Freese's version is much larger (about the size of a large gumball) and has a greater outer chocolate to malt center ratio than a Whopper. This worked in my favor as I'm a bigger fan of the chocolate layer, which is kind of funny since it's the center that gives the balls their name. For those of you looking for a little history on the malted milk ball, it goes back to 1887 when William Horlick, immigrated to Racine, WI from England. He was a food manufacturer and created the first malted milk powder. That powder, along with white chocolate is rolled into a ball to create the center of a MMB before it is coated in milk chocolate. I thought this was an interesting connection to the Milwaukee area that I had not been aware of. In conclusion, even though I think Whoppers are just okay, Freese's MMBs won me over and are Doughboy approved. Doughboy_Food_Reviews”

“Great place for candy makes and cake makers. I buy my flavorings for cookies and frosting. They have a huge assortment of metal cookie cutter. I have been coming here over 36 years.”
“I was hosting a work party Needed Door prizes at the last minute, and we decided on chocolate. So I contacted them on the way to their store and asked if they were able to accommodate us and our order of approximately 85 truffles. They were lovely we got there and there were three ladies waiting to help us. They were very quick about it because we were in a hurry and were very helpful:-) the truffles were absolutely delicious and they were a hit at the party! Would definitely refer this shop to anybody that would ask, and will use them again in the future. Thank you so much ladies you did a great job :-)”
“Great selection and prices, but the staff was not the most friendly. They seemed annoyed that we bought so much and that I had kids with me - even though they were well-behaved. The kids even noticed. It just seemed like we were in the way, even though we spent less than 10 minutes inside. I’m hoping to have a better experience next time.”
“I love this place! I have been coming to this store for many many years, The quality of products and the ever changing variety makes it a fun place to shop for goodies and baking nuts.”
“Such a cute place in Mayfair Mall. It is a classic candy shop with a modern day approach. Kids love it but so do adults. Rose and champagne gummy bears are absolutely delicious! There is a gummy for everyone with all types or unique beautiful colors and flavors. This place has free samples as well! Whether you want to treat yourself or you want to plan an event, this candy shop is worth taking a stroll into!”
“Better organized and cleaner than many similar stores, but was disappointed that self checkout was the only offered option. Glad to find the best price in the area for a 16 inch round pillow to complete a project.”
