Very sweet (no pun intended) lady. I wasnt feeling well and she gave me a pop to help with my sugar dropping. Lots of candies that I missed from my childhood. Ill be visiting again soon.

It is a wonderful family business and it is not a hugh place but caring in choosing among a large selection of favorites. They can help you design something special. My best friend is having a Birthday and the chocolate heart on a stick is cute. I was wondering if anyone has found a place that makes spicy or hot pepper chocolate?

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! -- Literally the best tasting chocolate in the Chicagoland area! I wanted to get my little a welcome to college present so had her name customer with their color dusting and then wrote notes on each letter. It turned out BETTER than I could have expected. Since then, this has been my go to chocolate place for any occasion needing a little extra personal touch!

This store offered a free sample of chocolate, several choices! Wonderful candy, very nice people working there. They carry cub themed packaging. Very cool for the cubs fan. They gave us money off coupons to use next month.

The freshly crafted chocolates are wonderfully delicious. And the custom made chocolate items are amazingly creative. This was my first time here. I felt like a small kid in a candy store. Wait, it is a candy store! I will be back!

This was our second time visiting this store and I definitely see more visits in the future. The store has the quaint feel of a simpler time, a true family owned value to the customer service, and a variety of sweets to satisfy any cravings.I would recommend that everyone stop by to visit. It would be a great place to pick up a gift for someone special. Perhaps a special treat for the kids or grandkids. No matter what the reason, this place should be on your list of stops the next time you are running around town.

We ordered chocolate covered Oreos for our Harry Potter themed Halloween party, and they went above and beyond for the design on each cookie. They look amazing. Thank you so much!

Just amazing! I mean everything is very tasty, and handmade. I would really suggest these as the types of chocolates to give as gifts ( they even have great free gift wrapping!) Must try: all the truffles , chocolate covered strawberries, BEST PEANUT BUTTER CUPS EVER, mint meltaways, and sea salt caramels ❤💚

This store was made for the young and old. They have just about anything you can think of. This store really brings you back to your childhood when you walk in. Karyn is SUPER helpful and has great suggestions to help you plan your event. Karyn designed items for my retirement party that were specific to my occupation. I never thought someone could be as creative as this store. I drive from the southwest side of Chicago to Darien because it is definitely worth the trip. If you are ever looking for that unusual gift, Karyn and her staff can create it for you. The service here is phenomenal.

I ordered more than a dozen chocolate molded candies, plus sixlets and rock candy in school colors. Everything was packed carefully for the drive home, and of course, it was all delicious. It was a huge hit at the party, and Ive told everyone about where to get it for themselves. Ill be back, for sure.Dont miss the chocolate covered strawberries or the key lime bark!

I wanted to get my Mother some chocolate covered strawberries for her 90th birthday. I asked Google maps for fine chocolate and I found a jem. They make the strawberries daily. While I waited for them to box up the strawberries, I was fascinated by the variety of chocolate they had. I saw some number boxes and asked if they could make up a 90.They made up a box and even personalized it while I waited. The chocolates were a big hit.The atmosphere was friendly.I went back the next day to get a chocolate champagne bottle for my nephews marriage after party.I heartily recommend this shop.They have an amazing variety of specialty items that will make your special occasion really shine.
