“We ordered chocolates and candies from Old Fashioned Candies Inc. as our year-end gifts for clients, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They handled everything seamlessly, from helping us choose the right assortment to putting together packaging that looked thoughtful and high-end.
The presentation was beautiful, and the chocolates themselves were outstanding. The white chocolate with peppermint bark was a big hit, along with the other items we selected. You can tell real care goes into both the product quality and how everything is prepared.
Just as important, they delivered exactly what they promised. Everything was completed on schedule and shipped out on time, which made the process completely stress-free for us during a busy time of year. We recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable gift that’s done right.”

“Needed chocolate coins for new years and no other place had any, been driving three hours and seen this place on Google Maps. Called the store and a very nice older gentleman picked up and said they had them. Not only that but the chocolates they made and had in store were amazing. If you want good candy and good customer service come here they’ll get you right?”
“Excellent customer service! Both women greeted me as I entered amd were very helpful; answered my questions and explained the different Chicago themed packaging. I learned that they are both long term employees with Fannie May, which speaks volumes of the company's culture. Thank you for the sample of sugar free sea salt dark chocolate caramel!”

“We used to live up Lake Zurich area and my pops used to go here almost 40 years ago now for their English Toffee, when we moved we would only get it when we visited which wasn't often. About 10+ years went by not having it and I ordered some over last Christmas and my God it's the same, it hasn't changed! Hands down the best English Toffee, and the consistency over the decades is unreal!”

“They have some really great piñata here! The quality was so good! We got 2 for my daughters' birthday party and they took the kids a while to break them, the adults even tried and were impressed with how strong they held up. Definitely will come back when I need more piñatas. The lady here was super nice and even mentioned they can make custom piñatas with a week or more notice, so that's cool to know”

“We were waited on immediately. I asked a question about one of the chocolates and the clerk actually knew the answer. I’ve never gotten an answer about that ingredient. She knew everything we questioned about. The sale was great. Service was fantastic.”
“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.”

“Love the shop and extensive selection of bourbon. They always have buffalo trace for a decent price. They’re dog friendly and have the most adorable shop dog named Nala:-)”
“Dissatisfied with the offerings of the grocery chains I decided to search for a business that offered quality nuts. Using traditional search engines and AI came upon Nuts ‘N More.
I ordered some walnuts online and was I pleasantly surprised. The best walnuts I have ever had and I should also mention that it was obvious that a great deal of care was taken when packaging them for delivery.
I decided to physically visit the store today and even though it is a small store it has a extensive variety of nuts and candies.
If you enjoy nuts and candies and also want to support small businesses, this is the place to go. Excellent products and reasonable prices. So happy I found this place.”
“Everything you need for Mexican parties! Irons, plates, glasses, spices, candies, piñatas , etc. If you love to entertain and cook, they have your pots for tamales, discs for tripes, and plates for tacos.”
“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!!!”
“Went here yesterday evening to purchase some chocolate for Thanksgiving and the manager advised me of their current sale and all the various product options they offer. He was so helpful as it helped me make an informed decision and purchase. I will definitely be back! Great store and service!! Thanks!!”
“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.”
