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.

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!

Also, they have such deep expertise in how to prepare any of their meats and are happy to give you advice. I am especially gratefully to the folks at Heybeck's for their help and support this past weekend as we prepared slow cooked pork, for the first time, for our big gathering.They gave me so much advice - and even written instructions - to ensure that the pork would be ready on time and cooked to perfection! Moreover, they were so gracious and patiently answered many phone calls throughout the day of the event when we had questions about preparation. The pulled pork was fabulous! Heybeck's quality and expertise is amazing - and a great reminder of the value of local businesses!

The portion sizes are quite large and I had my sandwich cut in two pieces. I was trying to only eat half but eventually I wanted to eat the whole thing fresh. They have flavored teas and coke products as well. I made my sandwich however I wanted and everything was delicious. I will definitely go back.

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!

I got a box of assorted pastries to bring home and each one was incredible. My kids didn't like any of them... but ambrosia won me over. This is a refined place. The flavors are classic and textures are notable. Rich dark chocolate, real strawberry cream, flaky and intentionally packed with texture. No candy flavors or artificial stuff. Each item seemed like it was expertly crafted from a 150 year old recipe. This is a trek for me, and I'd happily make a morning trip to come here again.

I love that it is light, rich, but not overly sweet. I am a huge fan of chocolate mousse in cake and they have perfected it. And to top it off with the chocolate ganache... YUM! I told my husband it's probably the best birthday cake I've had and I hope he remembers that for next year. We also picked up some almond croissants and chocolate croissants and both were delish... to me they were a bit on the smaller side though. The cafe is really cute and clean with a sitting area. We came an hour before closing, so options were limited but they do have a big display case and would love to go back and check out what else they have to offer. I am a fan of flourless cake- so hoping to get to try a slice the next visit.

At $27 per pound had to easily discard 1/3 due to a huge vein of gristle and sinewy fascial fat. The rest was tough and tasteless. Despite it's packaging, no way this was butcher cut prime meat. Never going back and I will keep to Thuringer's from now on. At least when I pay a premium price there I can trust the quality. Honestly, I've found better top sirloin at Jewel. What a complete waste of time, money, and my family's taste buds.

Can't wait for the fall as they have heaters set up.

Large piece, cooked to perfection along w some excellent mashed potatoes. A had the branzino - it was a filet which was different, but she loved it (and is a branzino snob).
