“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 can’t say enough about my experience! Easy, professional & expedient. As a busy CEO, I’m beyond grateful to the whole team for their dedication to great customer service. THANK YOU!!”

“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!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.)”
“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!!!”
“Yes, they are a little expensive but are a nice delicacy. I remember going here with my grandma and getting caramel bonbons in the 90’s. They don’t make them anymore but they were great. Great memories. My kids and I go every once in awhile and spend too much. It is so good. It is a quiet and clean store when it isn’t any love holiday.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“Worth the drive. Have been buying their candies ever since Fannie May began using beet sugar. Their chocolat is TOP.quality. Ladies in the shop are accommodating and helpful.”
“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!”
“ACCESSIBILITY REVIEW: One handicap spot a few steps from the door. Flat entrance with low grade ramp. No automatic door. Wide aisles once inside with low countertops.”
“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.”
“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!!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“amazing candy and other decadent treats, amazing service as always. workers/owners were very sweet and friendly. I recommend the coconut bars and anything with the spicy powder on top. overall this place was very authentic and if you are in the Chicago area I recommend giving thier Mexican candies a try it a try.”

“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.”
“Went to get dark chocolate cremes for a friend that has been getting chocolates from here for decades. Her parents were faithful customers. We'll, it still didn't disappoint, two weeks later she is still thanking me for the chocolates.”
“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”

“On 11/22/2024 @ 17:21 pm, Lili served us. My husband wanted 4, dark chocolate, vanilla filled buttercreams, I wanted 2 petite walnut, truffles. We got six, milk chocolate, chelated filled butter creams. The server did not bother to listen to our order, git it wrong, and did not want to be there. We want a full refund or gift card. The customer service was atrocious and the order all wrong!! I am increasing the stars, manager, gave 2 boxes of buttercreams, vanilla for the wrong order so ? happy.!”
