They have chocolates, confections, and bakery items as far as the eye can see. I got my free donut and coffee but also picked up some huge muffins to have the next morning. The donut was light and fluffy and the muffins were packed full of flavor. There is a room in the back for evets and parties. When I was there, a birthday party was being held in the back room. I highly recommend Morkes Chocolates!

TBE candied apples, taffy apples, etc. I had em at some place in Crystal Lake and am still to make the pilgrimage to Richmond BUFU to the OG Anderson's, but this Barrington location has been there since before covid. Long live chocolate. Expensive AF, but worth it. Life changing really like the first cathode ray TV, MP3s, 4D movies, or being with me. Once you do it, your life is changed. No more taffy apples anywhere else but from here. Hand made. THEY ONLY HAVE THEM APPLES DURING FALL THO. Chocolate covered, taffy, etc.

Anderson's Candy Shop was the perfect quick stop for an anniversary gift -- honestly felt like…read morewalking into chocolate heaven. The young gentleman helping me was incredibly personable and friendly, even sharing the history of the store with such pride and enthusiasm. You can truly tell he loves where he works and values the family/business behind it. I was amazed by the variety and quality of chocolates -- definitely not your average commercial candy shop. Everything felt unique, thoughtful, and special. To top it off, he beautifully wrapped the gift in a box with a ribbon, which made it feel even more personal and meaningful. Definitely returning again -- both for gifts and for myself!

This place is inside of Cold Stone Creamery. They take up half the display area. I'm thrilled…read morethey opened up because I love chocolate! Who doesn't! They have lovely samples and the owner was on hand to answer my questions. There is one section of premade chocolate and one section for taffy apples galore. The chocolate is just AMAZING!!!! They have sugar free chocolate - yay! Definitely worth a visit!!

What an awesome, full featured confectionery shop. The prices aren't cheap but you can tell with…read moreevery bite that you're getting delicious, high quality treats. The decor in here is super cute, with all the different products being displayed in an organized and attractive manner. This alone makes this a more fun shopping experience than buying candy from a standard grocery store. At times, it may be difficult to determine the price of different items, but the staff is very helpful with helping shoppers navigate their way around the store. There is definitely something for everyone here, but this is especially good if you are a chocolate lover as there's a very wide assortment of available options here. This is particularly true if you're into truffles, with some interesting options such as jalapeno margarita, tiramisu, rum, and others in addition to the usual selection of fruit, coffee, caramel, etc. flavors. This is also a great spot to get interesting looking gifts. Outside of the usual gift boxes and tins, you'll find chocolate in fun shapes (like birthday cake), seasonal confection options with cute decorations, pretzels, nuts, chocolate pops, gummies, and more. Overall, this is a great place to shop for delicious sweets and competitive in price to other premium candy shops. If you're looking for something unique in both design and flavor, definitely come here versus going to a chain store.

There is a wide variety of chocolate, donuts, and other confections to choose from. A true chocolate lovers paradise. We got the chocolate dipped cookie sandwiches and peanut butter meltaways. They are phenomenal. The cashier was friendly and pleasant to talk to. Plus it feels good to support a small local business. I highly recommend Long Grove Confectionery!

Little small but mighty! They were so kind and let us know what was popular and the deals they had going on for the strawberry festival. It look like family working there because a kid was working the chocolate case and parents were handling the checkout. They were so kind and even cracking a few jokes. We got some butter toffee, toffee pretzels and chocolate covered strawberries. All soo good!! The strawberries were so fresh!

We tried the white fudge with peppermint today and it was so festive. You can't go wrong with pretty much any chocolate treats here, like their pecan or cashew "tuttles" or toffee, if you don't have any nut allergies. The ice cream is rich and creamy and a nice ending to a meal at any of the great restaurants nearby. The gals working here during my visit were super sweet and grateful for our business. I appreciate the pre-wrapped boxes for gift-giving, especially during holidays.

Grabbed a couple of scoops of ice cream and some little chocolates which I had for a midday snack the following day.

I ordered these boards for 2 events that I was throwing. Rosanna, the owner and maker, was such a pleasure to work with. She was organized with all the information I provided, responsive, genuine, and just overall a kind person! I'm definitely gonna get more boards from her for other holidays or events I have coming up. She also delivers right to you and has many charcuterie options, like jarcuterie for example. The actual charcuterie was phenomenal. Candied walnuts, prosciutto, halved dates, spiraled salami, pitted cherries, cheeses galore - the meat & cheese board was robust to say the least. The sweet board was sweet tooth heaven. Brownies, chocolate covered everything, Rice Krispies, various cookies, and more. Needless to say, the charcuterie boards were a HIT at my event. Seriously using any excuse just to come here and get more boards. Support women owned & local and order some bomb charcuterie from here!

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try one of the delicious boards recently and the…read morequality did not disappoint. The board was arranged beautifully from every angle with a mix of cheeses, crackers, meats, chocolate, cookies, olives, and fruits. I really like the effort that was put into including a variety of meat arrangements, cheese shapes, colors, flowers, and other components that made this a stunning work of art to look at. Fortunately, the board tasted just as good as it looks! I found that overall the flavors were a bit more muted, so that you can graze on this over time without feeling fatigue by being bombarded with strong flavors. I feel this may also be to ensure that the components are attractive to a wide audience. Overall, this definitely is worth buying if you're looking to entertain or hold a special event.

They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.
