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!

Nothing, well maybe it's a little hard to find if you're not…read morefamiliar with the area by the Old Chicago Stockyard, it's primarily a business park area now. Other than that, if you're in the area or live close by it's the place to go to satisfy your nut cravings. It's no secret that I love raw, unsalted nuts, and I eat a serving or two daily, and I've heard all the nut jokes so don't bother trying to come up with a new one. You can choose from all sorts, for instance, almonds raw, roasted, skin on or off, whole or slivers, salted or unsalted. I get raw, unsalted, skin on for my Greek Yogurt. They also usually run a special on their famous mixed nuts. I love looking at their various trail mixes, I bought three bags, two at 2.99 and one at 1.99. Can't wait to get into the one with dark chocolate, dried mango and a mix of nuts. I like to stop here before going out of town to buy some bags to throw in my carry on, the prices at the airport are insane for the same stuff. There's also a great selection of candy that can be bought in bulk, some of it is wrapped so you can buy it to put in a dish in your office, business, or hand it out on Halloween. The ladies working the store our friendly and helpful, you can try samples before you buy if you're not sure and need to compare. Really easy parking right in front of the store at the curb.

Why get traditional candy when you can expand your horizons and try something new?! The store front is very organized and makes it fairly easy to find your favorites. The distracting part was looking at all of the options and seeing which ones you didn't know existed! I appreciated that the candy is pre-portioned in little bags so you can sanitarily grab one. I grabbed a bag of sour pickle flavored strips to give as a gift and a bag of red licorice scotty dogs for myself. (They were sold out of my favorite red shoestrings...sad day.) The employee, like, tells you about yourself based on what you are purchasing like a horoscope so it came up that the pickle strips were absolutely NOT for me, haha, and she took the time to add a lovely bow and put a branded sticker on it to make it more presentable--and at no charge, too! I posted them in my story and they were so quick to thank us for coming in--just above and beyond customer serivce! I look forward to visiting again when I am in the area and expanding my candy tastes!

The employee that answered the phone was very helpful. It's a treat exploring this store. There's some popular candy and some uncommon candy. I took my time looking around and even got myself a bag of candy. They have gummies, salt water taffy, chocolate, and even a large selection of black licorice.

We wanted a special Chinese word--double happiness; you might know it--made from chocolate. CCD was more than willing to try it out. Working with them was a breeze. They were prompt and had the chocolates finished on a compressed timetable, even though we only were able to provide one mold. My fiancée used to work at Teuscher, and while CCD's chocolate isn't exactly at that level, she was more than pleased with the flavor, consistency, and tempering. (Of course, it also came to less than half the price per pound!) The chocolates came out gorgeous. Sharp transitions, smooth edges, no significant burrs or voids. I posted a quickie snapshot. Marilyn clearly takes pride in her work and it shows. Best of all, they were substantially less expensive than having it done in the city.

They are wonderful to work with. Marilyn is fantastic! The candies taste delicious, and they looked superb. The artistry and the attention to details are just fantastic. The candies were ready on time. Their toffee is mouthwatering; it is by far my favorite. A special treat is to walk in the shop when they are making the toffee... such wonderful smells! Mmmm... I also love their Tizzy Lizzie and Graham Cracker Crunch. And their dipped fruit and orange peels. OK. I don't think that there was anything I didn't love. Custom Candy Design does amazing work and their products are heavenly!

3 Musketeers: This candy bar was first introduced in 1932 and is manufactured by the "Mars" candy…read morecorporation. It comes in shiny silver packaging and consists of chocolate-covered, fluffy, whipped mousse. The bar supposedly got its name from the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers because the candy originally had three pieces in one package (flavored chocolate, strawberry and vanilla). During WWII the strawberry and vanilla flavors were dropped due to rationing of sugar. I very much enjoy this candy bar as you can't go wrong with its light and fluffy filling. It's perfect for when I'm in the mood for an overload of just the mousse filling. 3 Musketeers is essentially a Milky Way bar minus the caramel, so if caramel isn't your thing (or you want to OD on mousse filling) then 3 Musketeers is the candy bar for you. My favorite candy bars: 1. Whatchamacallit tied with Whozeewhatzit 2. 100 grand 3. Snickers Crunchy Peanut Butter 4. Kit Kat Mocha + Chocolate Duos tied with White Chocolate 5. Hershey's Gold 6.

I was amazed by the steady stream of customers coming through the door--many of them regulars who clearly knew exactly what they were there for! The sales associate was absolutely delightful and took the time to explain the different sizes and varieties available. I also enjoyed learning a bit about the shop's history. It's a charming little store that has been around for 53 years. Although the original owner sold the business to her neighbors about a decade ago, the original recipe has remained unchanged. The chocolate-covered toffee is simply outstanding. Each piece has that perfect buttery caramel crunch, coated in rich chocolate, making it incredibly addictive and well worth the price. One fellow customer even shared a great tip: save the crumbs and mix them into homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for an extra crunchy, toffee-filled treat. I'll definitely be trying that! This is truly a hidden candy gem and a place I'll happily return to whenever I'm craving something sweet. Highly recommended!
