We were at the cheese shop when we were told we needed to check out the candy shop around the block. Was amazed at the selection of not only handmade chocolates but unique packaged candys, ice cream, bottle sodas, wine and even hard to find alcohol. Helpful staff and a quaint spot to shit and enjoy your finds make this a great place! read more

Confections For Any Occasion - Candy Stores Near Me - Theresa, Wisconsin

See all

What an incredible place! The cranberry turkey wrap was a novel, delicious choice. It came with turkey, spinach, cranberry sauce, candied pecans and I think some mayonnaise. The cranberries and candied pecans together were a perfect balance and new taste delight. I choose fried green beans as a side- another first for me and delicious. All this with small town charm in an old fashioned ice cream and candy shop. Unforgettable! read more

Confections For Any Occasion - Candy Stores Near Me - Theresa, Wisconsin

They have everything and more. I have never seen such a variety Prices are reasonable too. Worth the drive

What a great store to discover in a small town outside of Milwaukee. It is worth a trip up to Teresa to visit this place, and to visit the city itself. Teresa was also founded by one of the founders of Milwaukee. This store has such a variety of Confections, but it also has great food and ice cream. Service is quick and the staff was really friendly and positive. I look forward to visiting again, and they have a great listing of menu sandwiches and more.. read more

Some of the best hand made chocolate! Joel has received many a write up for his chocolates and his business. He makes his own candy as well and having wines and salsa and other items from local companies. You can sit and have lunch there as well although we stopped in just for one of his chocolate goodies. We walked out with some chocolate, wine, and salsa. It came recommended via word of mouth so do try to stop by for a visit if you're in the Theresa area. read more

Just a great place all 'round! Super cute little candy shop, fun novelty items, good ice cream, and great food! Amazing owner as well, and super helpful and friendly staff. Can't recommend the place enough, just give it a shot! read more

This is an amazing little place, almost right out of the 1950's with lots of trinkets and a mixture of just about everything. The Chocolate is nothing short of amazing. Joel has turned this operation into a sensational place to eat, to come for ice cream, or just to look around. It is an experience that shouldn't be missed. Like Widmers Cheese, this is another place that you need to experience. read more

Great local place for all things sweet, a quick bite, and Wisconsin created or home made items.

An absolute fantastic place with good food. But the chocolate made in store is even better.

Best place in Wisconsin for truffles, Joel is an amazing chocolatier. The artisan time it must take for each one of them shows. I go for every occasion and am always asked where did youu find these truffles when I give them as gifts. Truly a gem for Theresa and worth the drive. read more

We stopped in on a drive by after lunch while we were out driving and exploring. A very cute little confection shop on the main drag. All kinds of sweet knick knacks, novelty candy - i.e. giant gummy bear, retro candy - can you say Zotz?! and candy cigarettes?!, local offerings - wine/beer/condiments/etc. Plus chocolates and ice creams. Interesting note: About half way through my ring out I realized that the cashier was sight impaired. I have no idea how he was able to tell which item was what but the total for everything was extremely reasonable compared to a comparable visit to Baskins or DQ type places so I did not worry about it. If you find yourself in small town usa and have a sweet tooth, why not? read more

Very yummy and nice people food is amazing , I would say going for lunch gets busy so call ahead to have youre order made and ready

We stopped by in Theresa on a trip through the countryside. We needed stamps and went to the post office in town, the lady working there gave us some tips on the local area as an additional bonus, one of which was that we should check out Joel's chocolate shop (Confections For An Occasion) not far from the post office which has some great stuff. It turns out the chocolate is ridiculously good. If you have a sweet tooth (and a good dentist) it's worth coming here and tasting the hand-made chocolate. It's reasonably priced and well worth the trip. The only problem is he's in an older building with no wheelchair access. As someone using a wheelchair this normally would irritate the hell out of me -- and it did, briefly -- until I got a taste of the chocolate gathered by the family members who went in the shop. It's that good. They lose a star in my book for being in an inaccessible location that I wouldn't be able to visit on my own. However they do have a detailed website with ability to order stuff online, and -- as I've mentioned -- the chocolate is great. read more

WOW! If you are in the area this is a must stop place! A blast from the past! Having candy from my childhood to novelty candy. A must try chocolate covered bacon!!! I know it doesn't sound very appealing but let me tell you the combination of the two, the crunchy salty bacon with the sweet milk chocolate is divine! There you can have something from the grill or a pizza and some of the biggest scoops of icecream cones around. LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

Love this place! There is an awesome selection of candy- both retro and new. There's also delicious homemade chocolates and a big alcohol selection. The food is good too! Takes a while to get it but it's definitely worth it. read more

I found Joel's online searching for the perfect candy basket. I am in Buffalo NY and no one local could give me what I needed, a beautiful basket of hard candies for a friend going through chemo treatments. One phone call and I received the most amazing service from Caitlin, who "got" what I wanted! She listened to my story and took the time to make the gift basket "from the heart", wonderfully presented by a big stuffed teddy bear . She sent me an photo of what my friend would receive for perfect follow up. The candies were in abundance for a big show, but the stellar service and caring by Caitlin and the store made my experience with Joel's OVER THE TOP WOO HOO. Thanks so much! read more

Wonderful! The owner Joel is both friendly and an inspiration. The truffles were great, and they have a huge variety of other Wisconsin-made products. I was able to pick up some delicious souvenirs for my family. read more

A hidden gem in Theresa, Wisconsin. We stopped here for ice cream after visiting widmers cheese cellar. What a pleasant surprise!! Not only did they have ice cream, but delicious fresh made chocolates, as well as local wines, beers, and other goodies. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Joel, who was beyond helpful, recommending other local resources and places to check out. Overall a great experience that satisfied my sweet tooth!! read more

My husband and I stayed at the Audubon Inn and they recommended going into Theresa to visit the local candy shop. Well we went there thinking it was not going to be anything we haven't seen in Milwaukee. Boy were we mistaken.....Joel (who is blind) owns and makes everything and we were both floored by the perfection of all of his candy and chocolate! Joel not only has novelty candy like Jaw Busters and giant jaw breakers but an assortment of Wisconsin wines, cheeses ans salt water taffy. When we went we really thought that he would just have the normal confection chocolate, i.e. bear paws, caramels, toffee, which he does. But he also has chocolate pops in every shape and color imaginable, from animals (we bought a moose) to classic cars, to flip flops, the decision was almost impossible to make. I would have to say that Joel's chocolate is one of the best I ever tasted. I bought one package of 5 dark chocolate covered raspberry bunnies, I was leery, some raspberry filled chocolates are terrible, these are fantastic, it tastes like you are biting into a fresh raspberry, I wished I bought more! This shop is located 1 hour from Milwaukee, WI, I highly recommend going there, to pick up a little of everything and even have lunch! Remarkably....truly remarkable what Joel can create! read more

We found this shop by accident a few years ago and we were so happy to have found this treasure! I have now moved to Colorado but we were living in Mequon at the time and would drive up this way about once a month. Joel always remembered us, just from our voices! It is such a fun place to get holiday candy gifts! The chocolate is delicious and the pizza and other hot foods (I especially loved the flatbread pizza) are really good. This was a great place to stop on the way to Door County or just for a nice drive. I highly recommend this wonderful shop!! read more

Where to start? The services to locals is terrible. Against popular belief he makes almost none of the chocolate in the store he orders almost all of it along with the candy which he puts his own label on. read more

This place is such a delight, I don't know where to start! It is such a treasure to have such a unique place that offers everything from old fashioned ice cream fountain food to burgers, pizzas, and panini sandwiches (turkey pesto is great) to many local food products to homemade candies and fine chocolates. It has a great small town atmosphere where you can find a local group spending lunchtime playing cards while others peruse the shop for local wines, beers, and many other food products, and (still) others are enjoying the many Cedar Crest Ice Cream treats. The real unique feature is the huge variety of handmade candies that are made by Joel and his (EXTREMELY) helpful and friendly staff. You can watch them making the candies in the back room while you eat there. Check out Joel's extensive website, but if you can't find what you're looking for, give them a call and they'll try to put something together for you. They'll put together a unique mix of their fine candies and ship them anywhere you like. If you're traveling in southeast Wisconsin, it's worth the 5-minute drive west on Highway 28 from Highway 41 for a real treat (just 25-minutes north of Milwaukee)! read more
