My grandparents grew up in Honeyville, not far from the Idle Isle shop, so my mom has many fond memories of this shop. Her favorite (and the shops most popular) item is the Almond Toffee cremes ..... they are super delicious!! When I went into the shop I was greeted warmly and given plenty of space to peruse the shop. All of my questions were answered kindly and I was served promptly. I snagged a box of the toffee cremes for my mom and I snagged a few of the dark chocolate nut clusters because I couldn't help myself!! If you are in Brigham City you have to make a stop at this historic site!! read more

I love these chocolates. My family has been buying them for several generations. I've never met a child who didn't enjoy their marshmallow squares. Everything is good and worth trying. read more

If you want a good candy shop, this is the place to go. The gal that was working was so helpful. I came in to find my dad's favorite (he calls them bon bons) and she helped me to find the right thing he was talking about. I also got some fudge and other chocolates and those all were so delectable. The store has so many options and there's plenty of space to browse. Great stop on the visit. read more

I love this candy store, I can say I love it more than Sees. So go get yourself some sweets and injoy.

Idle Isle candy store is a step back in time mixed with a little bit of modern day candy for those that want something familiar. They have an assortment of chocolates under the case and a variety of brightly colored candy on shelves in the middle of the store-right at eye level of the children. Smart placement. There's not a huge variety, but a modest selection of candies. Notable assortment of cotton candy flavors as well as a variety of flavored pretzels. Service is friendly, although kind of passive. It doesn't really have that old fashioned feel with the shopkeeper providing customer service directly, but instead a pleasant enough teenager that is happy to ring you up, but won't likely make a recommendation on which chocolates will get you out of trouble with the wife. read more

Giving Idle Isle nutballs as gifts is one of my mom's traditions and since I've lived out of state most of my adult life, it's a gift I look forward to every year. Their toffee and fudge is also incredible. A Christmas treat I love! read more

This place has the best chocolate! Staff is friendly! Cute store! It's chocolate!!! What more could u ask for!!!!!

Great little candy shop in downtown Brigham City. The nut balls, turtles, and fudge are my favorite! They have great gift options for sharing these chocolates in small amounts or large boxes. My boys love the rock candy, and the variety of candy cane type candy sticks. read more

Our family has received/purchased these most wonderful chocolates for at least 5 generations. Consistently wonderful for my 61 years of eating them with my grandmother down to my grandkids. We no longer live in Utah, but have them shipped to us each year. Truly special chocolates read more

When traveling near anywhere, my first order of business is to locate any chocolatiers at my destination, or along the way. Seriously, I will research this prior to booking a hotel or car or planning any other activities...I have my priorities in order! On a recent trip from SLC to West Yellowstone, my candy options were limited, but I was going to at least one chocolate shop, so Idle Isle made the cut. Our visit required only a 5-minute detour from I-15 to downtown Brigham City. I had never been to BC previously, and the area is perhaps a little run down and small, but also sweet and kind of charming in the way many slightly dated main streets tend to be. One could happily spend an hour or few meandering through other shops and settling in for a meal at one of the neighboring cafes. On a Friday morning, we easily secured parking right along the street. The bricked exterior of Idle Isle is cute, displaying a fantastic antique-y neon sign, and even offering a bench should you desire to enjoy your selections outdoors. Inside, it is not so attractive, with plain walls, scant decor, and old office-style carpeting, but you're also not hanging out here for the ambiance, so no big deal. Glass cases display a variety of colorful Boden stick candy, fudge, nostalgic sweets, cotton candy, and some bagged treats not made in house, but come on, chocolates are where it's at (I would have tried the fudge, but it looked a little dry, and paled in comparison to my selections). They have a variety of sugar free options, too! One thing I found very smart, was their use of a container to gather up everything you have chosen, which is then placed in the appropriate size box and weighed. Often, I go to a chocolate shop and have to determine ahead of time how many pieces or what size package I'll want, only to invariably select more than I'd intended! Of note, the chocolates are not placed in traditional paper cups, instead rather unceremoniously dumped into the box. This did not bother me as I was purchasing for myself, in fact I appreciate that it is less waste, but is something to consider if you are intending to give them as a gift. I did not feel the presentation suffered much, especially as I found the proclamation of "SUPERLATIVELY fine candies" in old-fashioned script running across the top of the box adorable. I tried a variety of treats, and noted that both their toffee and caramel are well made. The toffee, especially, was wonderful, nearing burnt, and I wish the caramel had that same characteristic, but it was still excellent (particularly when paired with salt). Many of the fillings are fondant based, and while this is not something I necessarily love, theirs was smooth and luscious. A few had noticeably artificial flavors, but the majority tasted natural. I particularly enjoyed the penuche, opera, and tangy huckleberry. Their square of soft and moist marshmallow was definitely housemade, and delicious in dark chocolate. My overall favorite was the nougat: not too sugary, with a fantastic chewy-crunchy, but non teeth-breaking texture, plus generous nuts. The other favorite was a total surprise: their strawberry macaroon. I ate it chilled, so it was perhaps harder than would be at room temperature, but man, the filling was this fantastic toothsome texture, all fruity coconut perfection. Their house specialty are Almond Crèmes: a soft almond flavored filling coated in milk chocolate and rolled in thin flakes of almond. Compared to most of what I tried, this was not THAT wonderful, but I certainly would have enjoyed them more in dark chocolate. Other than these and the English Toffee, they offer almost everything in either milk or dark, and, though it is always my preference, I think dark is especially appropriate here as all fillings ran quite sweet. Prices are excellent at $19 a pound (a few dollars more for the two goodies above). Boden candy is $12.50 lb, everything else was just as reasonable. Idle Isle offers true old-fashioned and well-made goodies, and is worth going out of your way for. I admit I finished my near-pound box within just a few days, and hope to make my way back up to Brigham City for a restock soon! read more

This is an emotional stop for is. My husbands family has been patrons for 5 decades. The site is always clean with a great offering of various chocolates including sugar free. Thank you for keeping the legacy going! read more

At $25 per pound, the price is right up there, however the candies are good and the selection is huge.

Good heavens! Some of the most delectable Chocolate I have ever experienced. Bravo to this small slice of local heaven in northern Utah!

If the peach shake wasn't sweet enough for you, come down to the middle of the Historic District and get your sugar fix! Homemade chocolates and fudge with enough varieties to put you comfortably in a sugar coma. Being a dark chocolate fan, I was impressed that the Idle Isle isn't scared to go a little darker than most. Pricing is extremely reasonable and you won't find yourself paying huge prices for homemade delicacies. The money saved can be applied to the dental co-pay. If you are in Brigham, well worth the stop. read more

The nut balls are as amazing today as they were 40 years ago when I first tried them. This is an enchanting little store in a town from a couple of generations ago. It was fun to visit again. I don't know how the rest of the candy is. I tried the toffee and it was pretty good but probably not the best. read more

Kitty corner from the idle isle restaurant on main in Brigham city. I always see the chocolate bombs in the store but didn't know they had a whole chocolate shop. Great selection of everything but truffles. read more

I have lived in Willard for 13 years now and yet had never discovered the deliciousness of idle Isle candies. I had had their famous nut balls but that is all. But my husband gave me an assorted box of idle Isle chocolates for our anniversary and I just can't believe how good they are!! The marshmallow squares, the chocolate coated Brazil nuts, the caramels, and my favorite- a small nut topped chocolate full of delicious cherry filling. I am kind of a chocolate snob and have tried chocolates from all over the world and I must say that these are some of the very best I have ever eaten. I will be back! read more

Used to get toffees here every year for Christmas. I called to ask if they were doing curb side pickup due to covid and they were incredibly rude. A simple no would have sufficed, I don't know why they needed to have an attitude. I knew it was a long shot but thought asking couldn't hurt guess I was wrong. Also had tried to order online prior to asking about curbside but it was buggy and wouldn't ever get to checkout. I usually like to shop local but this kind of attitude makes me want to never come here again. read more

They make my husband's favorite candy, the nut balls. I personally don't love it. They are a bit too sweet for me, but I do enjoy their fudge. Not too many better out there. read more

This is my favorite place to buy chocolates, they have always had what i wanted! Best fudge and chocolate in town:) good pricing too!

Their chocolates are great, but they run out for weeks on end, especially during the holidays. I get that is going to happen on occasion, but it seems odd to me that if they are making them there, as they claim, they could make more? Their Cherry Chocolate cordials are the absolute best, but the last two years they have been out an entire week before Christmas, and said they would not have any more until after the Holidays....makes no sense! read more

Simple set up inside, delicious candies. I stop here every time I visit Brigham City. You feel like you're stepping back in time, which makes sense as many of the recipes haven't changed in 30 years. They will give you samples and guide you through the process of choosing, but YOU MUST GET THE ALMOND CREME TOFFEE BALLS! Dorothy is sweet and always helpful. Treat yoself. read more

The best chocolate! All hand dipped and delicious! And the almond cream toffee is amazing! Definitely the best chocolate store around!! Go in and buy or order online or on the phone!! You won't regret it, it's the best read more

I recently visited Brigham City, Utah. A highlight of my trip was dining at the Idle Isle and buying a box of chocolates at The Idle Isle Fine Candies. I wish I had bought more and hope to have some sent to me in New York. read more
