“This was our first time here. Of course we bought to much. It was all delicious ?. Better than the prepackaged products by a long shot.
The Ladies working the counter very friendly and quick with the service. I was glad to see they were busy and I could tell lot of the customers were regulars.”
“I stopped into Ultimate Confections to pick up Valentine’s chocolate and I’m so glad I did. The mixed box of chocolates was absolutely amazing — every piece was fresh, beautifully made, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality.
And the chocolate-dipped Swedish Fish? Unreal. Such a fun twist and they were seriously addictive.
If you’re looking for unique, high-quality chocolates (especially for Valentine’s Day), Ultimate Confections is a must. I’ll definitely be back!”
“They had unique items for birthday gifts I was looking for. The staff was very helpful. The layout was easy to navigate. They had two levels! They had a wide range of bakery goods, toys, cards, stationary, balloons, seasonal decorations as well.”
“Love this candy store!! It's in some of my core memories as a child.. always felt like I was walking into Wonka's candy store when we'd come here. Love that it's still open! Cannot recommend enough - they've got literally ANY candy you can think of!”
“Amazing fancy apples and turtles! Apples used are fantastic quality; crisp, tart... Perfect balance to the sweet and salty coating options. Tons of apple coating choices too!
It's a must visit in the area.”

“This place is a treasure from the past. They have excellent handmade candies and chocolates. This is a must-stop for any special occasion. They make custom-selected chocolate boxes that my wife loves. And don’t forget about their ice cream as well!”
“Great customer service, history lessons on it being 3rd generation candies, it's been in the community forever and the candy is made in the same building not to mention the quality... whew! A Plus! Yall missing out! ?”
“Winkie's has been part of the neighborhood forever, and for good reason. The upstairs has a great assortment of candy, cards, wrapping paper, gift bags, party supplies, novelties and Wisconsin themed items (including cheeseheads for those visiting from out of town). The downstairs has household items and a nice selection of toys and games for all ages. The staff is always friendly and willing to help or answer any questions. This is a real neighborhood gem, and I need to remember that more often!”

“The Maple Milk Chocolate Eggs are to DIE for!!! The marshmallow is so decadent and melts in your mouth. I don’t live in Wisconsin anymore so Buddy Squirrel is always a treat!!”
“This place is chocolate heaven, my wife and I get a pound of dark chocolate creams on our monthly visits. Their other stuff looks great but we always get the same thing. Being in the Public Market, they don’t take themselves too seriously.”
“Great variety of candy , and they have the cutest piñatas! They customized mine to my liking for any type of event, birthdays , themes anything u need . definitely recommend them.”
“Only went in once, but the two workers behind the counter were some of the kindest, friendliest people I've met, and I can't thank them enough for how kind and patient they were”
“This store is fantastic. Wonderful piñatas, great selection of candies, and an amazing staff. I only wish that I could bring this store home with me so I could visit often!”
“Had to pick up 3 items for a Door Dash delivery from here. And wanted to say thank you to the employee who went above and beyond to help me find all 3 items in record speed! She was so friendly and helpful and kind. She did not make me feel like I was bothering her in anyway. Not many retail stores have employees that truly care about Door Dash drivers or realize that we are out there also trying to make a buck and shopping for their customers. So, I want to thank Five Below for hiring such amazing employees?”
“Half Nuts has it all! This is one of the most inclusive candy shops in the whole of Southeastern Wisconsin. They were the first to carry Candy Raisins when they were re-introduced and the family have connections to the original Ziegler Candy Company. If you are in the area you should make sure to stop here and check out their amazing selection. I never try to drive by without stopping! Friendly staff too!!”
