    dark chocolate was nice flavor, not bitter, like other dark chocolate.

    I purchased the lars bar. very yummy. also had a dark chocolate hazelnut bar. Their chocolate is very good. I definitely will stop in again when i travel to Illinois.

    my fiancé and I stopped in today- I had shared some candies with him that I got from my last visit to Richmond and we knew we *had* to go when we got the chance. the shop smelled so good- the smell of sweets hit your nose as soon as you walk in. Katie was so sweet and told us all we needed to know about the candies her family's shop offered. I can't wait to come back in July! (plus we got these little frogs in a blind grab bag from the shop! we both told one another how we got the best item right before revealing them to one another and laughed how perfect they were)

    Chocolate. Donuts. Gifts. It is a happy place! We entered on a cold day walking the streets of Richmond, IL. We took in all their gift offerings like Christmas ornaments, household supplies and... chocolate! Loads and loads of chocolate. The homemade bars are the best. I got a chocolate peanut butter crunch - it is sorta like a Clark bar or a Butterfinger. Those are for reference only because these Anderson bars are in a league of their own! Then, they tell me they have these homemade donuts. I get some - a 12 pack for the family. They are smaller two-biters so don't judge... they were fresh, warm and melted in the mouth type of donuts! So, so good! It was a fun place to be. A happy place to be. My only regret - I didn't buy enough candy bars!

    A Richmond (& Barrington) institution, original family run chocolatier & gift shop. Stopped by today with my Daughter& Bride for some after dinner treats. Picked up their: Dark Chocolate Toffee bar, Orange Flavor, Peanut Butter Cup delicacy, and others that barely made it home. Nothing like fresh homemade chocolates. Their gift shop is also worth a stop & pick up for those hard to please folk. When in Richmond ( on your way to Wisconsin) stop by & buy some...Your worth It! Cheers!!!

    A local delight with kitschy decor, 5-star customer service. A good stop on a laid back Sunday to Lake Geneva. HOUSEMADE CHOCOLATES -- a blast from the past chocolate ingredients and preparation. Niche. RETAIL -- plenty of Jelly Belly selections. Seasonal decor. Variety of hard candy selections.

    Pretzel rods - mmmm. My personal favorite.

    What a delightful shop! My family and I stopped in yesterday after touring some of Richmond's antique shops. I enjoyed a white chocolate-dipped pretzel rod and the rest enjoyed a variety of homemade hand-dipped chocolate bars. My husband's toffee bar was especially delicious! Not a huge assortment of candies, but a great amount of chocolates. Definitely stop in if you're in town!

    Cute shop in the heart of downtown Richmond, Anderson's sells milk or dark chocolate bars with something like 50 different ingredients to choose from, as well as bon-bon type chocolates and gifts. The best flavours in my opinion in the bars are the dark peanut butter crunch (kind of like a richer & more peanutty Butterfinger) the milk Raisin (tastes like a WAY better Raisinette) and the milk Peppermint. If you like chocolate, this is a MUST if you are in this area. They also do online orders too!

    Cute little gift and amazing #candy #store

    Handmade chocolate treats are awesome! Wide selections of different chocolates and solid chocolate bars.

    Had many flavors of popcorn to choose. Was still fresh tasting not stale. Would definitely buy…read morefrom here again on our next trip north.

    WOW! We stopped in here after spending an hour or so at the Lake Geneva museum today. My 2 young…read morekids were indecisive like all kids are, so the young lady making the popcorn let us all try any flavor we wanted to help us decide. We had a lot of samples! In reading some earlier reviews about the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff. We were greeted very warmly the minute we stepped in and my 3-year old was a bit on the cranky side so she dealt with that well too! We had a completely different overall experience than the person wrote from earlier this year. The walls were perfectly in order, stocked with all bagged popcorn flavors and candy. Floors and counters were clean. They also had a beautiful display of gourmet candies to the side of the check-out counter, above it which listed also their ice cream offerings and prices. They had all their various tins with many patterns to choose from on the top shelves. My kids enjoyed watching fresh carmel corn being stirred up behind the counter. She even let us sample the fresh/warm popcorn. The lady was a great sales person, that is for sure. We walked in thinking we'd buy a small bag for the kids to share and we ended up walking out with a 2-pound tin tub, plus an extra bag of cheesy bacon pizza popcorn. We paid around $30, which really was a good price if you look at Garrett's prices! Plus, the lady told us that we could bring the empty tin back anytime (no expiration) and get it refilled with a discount - I think she said 15%. I liked that we were able to get 3 different flavors to fill up the tub. She filled it to the rim too. The tub seems to hold at least 7 of the large bags that were sold individually. My favorite was the 3-cheese that had white chedder, parmesan and I 'think' just regular cheddar. It melts in your mouth. So good! We were just there a couple of hours ago and I think I am half way through this third of the tin. We might need to refill the tin before heading home from Lake Geneva in a couple of days. My kids liked the carmel/cheese that was seedless (tastes like Cap N' Crunch cereal) and a white chocolate one. I might need to have some shipped to me during the year as this popcorn is seriously addicting! My mom is sitting in front of me as I am typing this and she is eating some of the popcorn, and she just said this stuff is so addicting. Agreed!
