I have been ordering online for at least 15 years since a Lockport native sent me some for Christmas. It is the best toffee I have ever eaten. I buy it during the holidays for my mail carrier and UPS driver. They agree it is the best! read more

It's seems they have gotten too big for their britches and left the common person out in the cold, the people that put them on the map. I was even on their maili g list and never notifird that I needed to order in October for toffee in December. I couldn't even get one box for my Aunt's birthday today. Hope you're happy, you just lost my business. Permenantly! read more

Disappointed to find out they are not making Carmel apples this year. Always looked forward to getting their apples each fall. Also disappointed they are only open on Friday and Saturday. I stopped by last week to find them closed, later found they are only going to be open 2 days a week. read more

They have THE BEST English Toffee. I've tried many others and no one makes it as good as Hollingworth. It's been my favorite for years. The store itself is simple but cute and the staff/owner are always friendly. read more

Hollingworth Candies - Dark Chocolate Toffee with Pecans - Candy Stores Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

I've been to Switzerland and there's nothing better than Hollingsworth Candies in Lockport, Illinois. I recommend that everyone drives from far away to give them a try. There's many good places to eat within walking distance. Or by online. You will love it read more

I have been waiting for the toffee caramel apples to come out in october only to find out they are not going to make them! They are know for their toffee (which is excellent) so I don't understand what the problem is. Candy is good, 3 stars because they are not making the toffee caramel apples. read more

Received their signature milk chocolate pecan toffee as holiday gift. The toffee is so good and addictive. I have 2 other brands of toffee with me to compare side by side. Hollingworth melted in the mouth at the right time and the toffee thickest is just right. One brand, the toffee was thicker and had to be chewed and take longer to melted. The other brand had a burned taste in one piece. We will buy from Hollingworth going forward read more

Locally, Hollingworth has some of the best toffee as it is what they are known for. My favorite Hollingworth product is not so popular and I experienced for the first time this year. Chocolate Covered Strawberries! For special occasions (and just because), boyfriend will call ahead and order me a half dozen. They are always juicy and delicious. Even the out-of-season Christmas Strawberries were phenomenal. They are always available; however, most of the time you need to call ahead a few hours in order to get them. read more

Hollingworth Candies - Chocolate Covered Strawberries!!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

Amazing place. Definitely the go to place for anything chocolate or toffee related. By far the best toffee youll ever put in your happy little mouth! Try the white chocolate toffee....its my favorite!! read more

This is indeed a tiny little store. The toffee is available in dark or milk chocolate; they also have dark or milk turtle-equivalents they call "Chesters." The toffee is excellent; they use pecans, not cheaper nuts. They also have a variety of dipped Oreos, marshmallows, etc., mostly in milk chocolate. The marshmallows are marketed as "Lincoln's hats," which is really quite clever. They've been in business since 1985 and have been featured on QVC. read more

This place is a gem. Friendly people and delicious treats! A little set back from the street but I love that they have their chocolates for sale in the front portion of the building and then the back portion is actually where they make the goodies. Will be back for sure. read more

5 stars? Yes 5, 4.6 in reality, but I won't take away their perfect rating. Yummy, made from scratch candies, locally produced. Friendly, courteous staff. Legit. Copper kettles and all, and free samples. AMAZING caramel apples. read more

Best toffee in the world!! Melt in your mouth. Made in the store in a copper kettle...from an old family recipe. The original owner in her 80's still cooks and helps run the store to make sure the recipe is done the way it should be! Great family, great candy...if you haven't tried it you should there are always free samples! read more

This place is delicious. I am not really a candy guy, and especially not a toffee guy, but I full on love their toffee. We first went here during the Lockport Sweets Crawl, which stopped here among other sweet tooth places in town. We got to go in back and make some candy of our own, which was cool. In addition to the great toffee, they have a bunch of other really good creations. Carmel apples, chocolate covered everything, a variety of dipped oreo things, turtles, etc, etc. Definitely worth a stop, it is one of the top notch establishments in town. read more

Seriously, you have to go here if for nothing else is their English toffee. Very smooth and creamy and the chocolate is amazing. They also have excellent chocolate covered graham crackers for $.75 can you beat that price? Stop in and treat yourself you'll be pleasantly surprised read more

I have to agree with the other reviewers; the toffee is absolutely melt-in-your-mouth AH-MAE-ZING! We are lucky to have a gem of an old school chocolatier right here in Lockport! The store is tiny, but they have a great selection. I even saw a lady making chocolate covered strawberries right there in the store. Plus they were friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Rare find in Lockport, Illinois. We lived there for 15 years and there were only a small handful of special eating and snacking establishments. "Hollingworth Candies" is every bit as spectacular as anywhere in Chicago or anywhere where you felt you got a hold of some delicious homemade candies or caramel apples. The buttery potent, yet delicate toffee creations are their staple, also, easy on the teeth, you won't crack a tooth! People have been known to line up outside for their caramel apples....ALWAYS fresh, crisp apples...they don't compromise on this whatsoever. Always will additionally find an assortment of seasonal and holiday goodies to tempt you too! read more

Went in to grab a thank you gift for my girlfriend. It's a tiny, tiny shop, with newspaper articles about their toffee covering their walls. Grabbed a box of assorted toffee, stole some from my girlfriend when she opened the box and damn, that was some good toffee. read more

Received a box of toffee as a gift and WOW! This is the best toffee I have ever had! It's amazing! You have to try it.

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Well I think Hollingsworth has turned that convention on it's head. Wonderful, amazing, homemade quality product. For toffee, and turtles I'm not going anywhere else! read more
