I grew up going to Flesor's Candy Kitchen in the 60's-70's sitting at their original soda fountain…read moredrinking handmade cherry colas. The granddaughters of the original owners brought it back to life & it is even better than before, IMO. The candies are quite exceptional, and they are made by hand on-site every day. The chocolates are truly incomparable, but for me, it has always been their caramel. And I've tried a LOT of caramel in different cities & countries, but absolutely nothing compares to theirs. I now live 1000 miles away. But when I visit, I ALWAYS stop to visit the owners & buy a box of my favorites. Luckily, they also ship & I've taken advantage of that more than a few times...for others & myself. If you are even close to the area, go visit this 1901 confectionary for lunch & some divine hand-dipped chocolates & a caramel apple. You will not regret it.

Greenup is a small town in the heart of agricultural Illinois, and near where many of my wife's…read morerelatives lived, where her parents grew up. We've visited the area a few times since moving to central Illinois a few years ago, and we always make a point of having a meal at the Candy Kitchen. This place continues the Illinois (at least) tradition of locally owned establishments that specialized in making and serving ice cream and candy. Although I can't figure out why I haven't tried their candy, I have tried their ice cream and their (less sweet) food. On our latest trip, with a pile of relatives, we all stopped at this place, that my in-laws used to call "The Greek's". Since the time my in-laws were growing up, decades ago, the place has changed hands (at least once), but you can tell that the current owners care about quality and service. When we arrived, the place was hopping, but with only one server in evidence we were concerned about how long we'd be there. Within a few minutes, though, there were servers everywhere. Seems that when it was seen how busy the place was, everyone was called in to help. On this latest trip, I had a really good patty melt. My wife had a (huge) pork tenderloin sandwich. We all shared around pretty much all of the various fried stuff, including mushrooms, onion rings, and green beans (!!!). My wife swears by the black walnut ice cream, but I prefer some of their other flavors. They're all made there, and all a lot better than you'll find at the typical ice cream shop or supermarket carton. I'm sure we'll be back to the area and I'm sure we'll be back to Candy Kitchen. If I'm a good boy, maybe I'll get to have some candy next time!

Others woud even say that there are many places offering the same,if not better, sweets and carmel corn.

Nevertheless, its a cute little place thats been around like forever, run by good people that offers good products. Still recommend and thinks its worth checking out whenever you find yourself in the area.

I must say Brooke's make some darn good candy, I stopped here during my road trip to Indiana…read more I work in the confectionery business and employed at a major Logistics/Packaging facility in Pennsylvania in a leadership role for 21 years, so I am more than qualified to honestly say this chocolate is definitely very high quality stuff. It's can be a little pricey, but for those who appreciate quality Belgian chocolate it's well worth the cost, also supporting a smaller local business is always a plus in my book. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely purchase more.
