Ahhh, Pease's...the bane of every parent who had a child at Butler Elementary School right around…read morethe corner, and the most pleasurable part of going to school for said students, Pease's is a Springfield institution. Penny candies are displayed throughout the store, with little bags for gathering your selections. Many hard to find and obscure candies available by the piece - it's a great way to blow your allowance if you are 7 and a great way to blow your breakfast change from D&J if you are an adult. The real draw for most people (nostalgia trips notwithstanding) are the handmade chocolates. Pease's has been making chocolates in Springfield since the 1930's and is still family owned. You won't find chile infused chocolates here, but you will find great old fashioned candies, packaged by the sweetest ladies you ever met, it really is a wonderful place to pick up a gift or a little something for yourself.

I would hop on my bright orange Schwinn with the banana seat and ride like the wind to Peases. I would get a small brown paper bag and fill it with penny candies. Everyone at Peases is as sweet as they can be. My Grandmother gets each of us a large cream filled chocolate egg with our name on it every Easter from Peases. Now that my sister, mom and I live in AZ those eggs get flown out every year! It is a family tradition. If you have never been to Peases go you wont be disappointed, well unless your looking for a hamburger then you will be. : )

Review Visit: October 9th, 2017…read more I feel that popcorn needs no introduction or an in-depth analysis. If you've ever gone to the movies or watched one at home, you've probably put down a few hundred, if not thousands of kernels, many pounds of butter, and a few licks of salt. Now, if you've never been to a place that specializes in popcorn, you are in for a world of flavors you never thought existed. Puppy Chow? Yep. Jalapeno Cheddar? Yup. Thin Mint? Like the Girl Scout's Cookies? Yes! There are almost an endless amount of flavors available at the Great American Popcorn Company. I've been to many places and have seen many flavors of popcorn but today I saw new flavors. Moving on from popcorn, they also have a ton of sodas from companies you've never heard of and they also have plenty of fudge, chocolates and other sweets that'll cure any sweet tooth. The lady behind the counter offered samples of any product they have on display, which is impressive since they have 56,389 items to choose from. During my quick visit there, I sampled some Jalapeno Cheddar popcorn and fell in love. I grabbed a medium-sized bag for about $6. Depending on the flavor, the price can go up for down. I also grabbed some Cookie Dough ice cream and enjoyed that outside where they have some chairs and tables to enjoy your treats. I'm not sure what else to say about this place that isn't pure praise, which might be too sweet for you readers. Ha! Luckily if you don't live anywhere near Morton, IL, there seems to be a smattering of these companies out there. Some other locations include: Galena, IL / Grand Rapids, IA.

We really liked the cheesecake and caramel apple flavors. You can choose your flavor and then the size of the bag you want (small bags are generous and under $2!). She also had other treats like popcorn balls available. Some flavors vary by season and she had some yummy Fall flavors when we were in. We a flavor sells out for the day, it's out! It's a small shop, just enough room for a person or two to step inside and order at the counter. There isn't indoor dining or room for a group to step in, so keep that in mind if you are taking your whole family (especially during COVID). Masks required and worn by employees.
