Burke Candy is a gourmet candy business with a family tradition dating back to 1929, operating from locations on Fratney St. and in Whitefish Bay. It is an old-school candy factory with a true factory store and a very cute storefront. The family makes all their candy in small batches using the finest ingredients, with recipes dating back almost 100 years alongside newer creations.
Customers consistently praise the great and unbelievable chocolates and candy. Specific recommendations include trying the mints, the caramels, the big round ones with chocolate, caramel, and pecans, the English toffee, the sea salt caramels, the crunchy peanut butter truffles, the chocolate-covered toffees, the sea salt truffles, the s'mores, and the tiramisu and mint meltaway truffles. Everything is described as delicious.
The business is also noted for its incredible, amazing, and awesome customer service from a super friendly staff who offer great recommendations and samples. They provide a great presentation with beautiful samplers, Wisconsin-shaped candy baskets, and gift bags with tissue paper. The small space is deemed well worth a visit, with many customers buying and eating more than they intended and planning to return.
My 87 year-old uncle drove to Burke this week to get candy for his sister in another state. He was also kind enough to get some for us as a “delivery fee”
It is so delicious! I look forward to visiting Milwaukee again and specifically making a trip to Burke.
