Illinois Nut & Candy

Just took a tour at this store and the whole family really enjoyed the experience and the goodies too :)

Candy store with bagged candy items (licorice, gummies, etc) and trays of nuts/candy/chocolate dipped pretzels. Trays range from $25 to $65. We took the chocolate tour today. We got to make a chocolate covered pretzel, chocolate covered cookie (trio brand... Similar to Oreo) and a caramel apple. The chocolate is exceptional! The caramel apple is inedible. The caramel was too crunchy and hard to cut or bite through. We liked learning about how chocolate is made!

Their social media manager, Ellie, openly posted a video of herself eating prepared candy, bare handed, with nail polish on and hair down, straight out of the batch to be packaged. The company decided to ignore this information and must be OK with selling contaminated food. cannot recommend. Feel free to find the video as many of people have saved it.

Great customer service and fast shipping. The Handcrafted English Toffees were EXCELLENT!

Great local candy maker. Marly is a delightful. She's very helpful. PS : ask for a sample ;)

I highly recommend this place for all your chocolate needs. I ordered a bunch of items to be shipped to NY right before Rosh Hashana. They left a couple things out of the order. At no extra charge they overnighted the missing items so I had them before the holiday. They have an excellent product and even better customer service.

Below is the previous owner's review... Now, it's 2023; let's see the latest ratings without David! Ultimate gift baskets any size you want, and worth the cost. Best quality and carefully put together by well trained workers. Or check out the storefront, and you are literally in a candy store!

Tight parking lot. Their candy is great. Their chocolate is really good. Friendly staff. Kind of expensive, but worth it.
