The crushed nut ones are nutty and flavorful, but not overly oily like what you'd expect with western peanut butter. And the red candies were chewy and lightly sweet and sour. The texture is just right, not too hard or soft, and leaves a clean after taste. I can't rave enough about this candy store. I loved everything I've tried so far. Loved how it is rich in variety and depth of labor, the texture is just right and not overly sweet or greasy. I ordered some pastry for a party and every guest loved them!

There are traditional western varieties such as hazelnut, praline, coffee, and vanilla, as well as fruity options and other Filipino-inspired flavors.

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!

Mrs. Prindables is a great gift to give or receive (or order for yourself)…read more We have received them and gifted them (the apples), and they're always well received as a treat with a healthy center - but a LOT of treat on top. The packaging the apples come in is gorgeous with their brand color of purple, an adorable branded purple or red bow, and a box of the highest quality that you'll want to keep for storing other things (I put craft ribbons in one of mine, as an example)! There are about a dozen flavors to choose from for your candy apple, so you'll definitely find something amazing to order/send someone/grab for yourself. When you unbox the apple, you'll see they are gigantic and are definitely shareable between a few people. Or you can cut it up and save for later in the fridge. Mrs. Prindables has many other chocolaty delicious items too, like candy boxes, chocolate covered pretzels, and caramels and nut mixes. But just to reiterate, the apples are the absolute best thing to get! And best of all, for such a luxurious item and beautiful packaging - they aren't really that expensive, when you consider how much you spend on a gift usually. Definitely consider them for an upcoming gift or treat for yourself!

I had to stop here a couple times because the first time I stopped they didn't have them; they came in a few days later. That second visit I'll assume for now was an anomaly because when we stopped in initially, we were greeted upon entering even though there were several other customers but the subsequent visit no one even talked to us until we got to the register, and the shop was empty. They have a couple tables in the window which is cute. There's no dedicated parking but there is parking in the area and across the street at the library (the library parking, at least, is good for three hours).

Then I don't remember when I was introduced to Fannie May's Trinidads, creamy chocolate truffle center in a pastel coating with a touch of toasted coconut, that was so good and I became obsessed! And I have not found any other brands that have a similar product that compared to it. I used to go to the Fannie May inside Deerbrook Mall for years until it was permanently closed. Then I found one in Northbrook Festival Mall and another one that had opened in Deerfield, I happily went to those, but sadly they had closed permanently as well. Occasionally, I would go to the one in Skokie if I am in that area. Now, the one in Niles across from Golf Mill Shopping Mall is my go-to Fannie May. Like any other Fannie May stores, it is bright and clean, delightful looking with chocolates aroma as soon as I stepped inside. Somehow every time I came to this store, I was greeted by a different staff member. Good thing that they were all nice and friendly. This time I only needed to buy a box of Trinidads as gift. The lady advised me that the pre-packaged ones were the same as the ones inside her glass case, and both had the same expiration date, but the pre-packaged box was $28 while the one that she would put together would be $32 a box. I usually would have the staff put together a box, but with her information, I just went with a pre-packaged box. She also told me that two one-pound pre-packaged boxes would be $40. It was very tempting, but I decided that I don't need to eat extra sweet, so I declined. Very tempting, though! For many, Fannie May chocolates, including Trinidads, evoke a sense of nostalgia or tradition, whether from family gatherings, holidays, or special occasions. I will continue to buy their high-quality chocolates as gifts. Well, occasionally to indulge myself too! Hope that this Niles store will remain opened for many years to come!

The mint meltaways are icon as well: rich, soft chocolate with a whisper of mint.

I thought I'd try a few but I guess he was right, the whiskey taste wasn't overpowering and all the chocolates were gone.
