They also have some baked goods and trinkets as well as cute jars for the bark. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They offered samples of the bark as well as the process for making it. They also packaged everything up in cute jars and a bag with a stamp that has the shop's name. I was able to try the toffee bark and the peanut butter bark. All I can say is WOWWW. The bark was so savory and sweet. Rich and decadent. Just wonderful. I also had my family partake and they loved it as well. All in all, I was so impressed and fell in love with this place. I hope to make trips here whenever I'm in the area. Thank you for this experience!

This review is about the Black Forrest Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears - I love gummy bears but I've…read morenever ever ever had a better gummy bear, these definitely are a different variety than what you might think of when you think of traditional gummy bears. These are the most tender flavorful gummy bears I've ever had bar none, they are so addicting, if you buy these or the gummy worms buy lots of them or regret it as soon as you pop the last one in your mouth. I recently attended an event where there were boxes of these sample size packages - everyone was hoarding them. I grabbed a few packages to enjoy later and then decided to open a pack to enjoy at the event. I didn't really think about them again until I got to my office and started unloading my pockets and began filling my desk drawer - I pulled up the news feed on my computer and grabbed a few package to snack on while watching - after about 15 minutes I decided to wrap things up and noticed quite a few empty packages on my desk, okay maybe a few more than quite a few, they are that good, like none other - I don't know exactly where I can buy these or order them online but I'll definitely figure it out...

It's like the mecca of Mexican dulces--from Lucas to Duvalin to Pulparindos to Dulces Vero, they have everything you could ever want. They also have locally-made piñatas and catrinas to add to the vibe of whatever party you're throwing. I was there on a random weekday, and it was pretty empty, which made it great to browse and load up my cart with antojitos as I pleased. Just don't go too crazy--you can quickly rack up a pretty large bill!

This place is every little Mexican kids dream and let me tell you, this new generation has it made. Back in the day my Mom used to take me to pick out my piñata at Abarrotera Mercantil. Right across the street from Cook County Jail. Don't get me wrong that store has excellent merch but Dulcelandia is like walking into a gold mine. 99% of the candy sold in Dulcelandia is Mexican candy. Nearly all of it I've never seen or tasted myself. Here is a list of good starters to try when visiting: (these are a few of my fave) Mazapan De La Rosa- crumbly peanut powder that's packed into a round shape. Kranky- chocolate covered cornflakes. Bubbaloo- similar to Gushers but gum with different flavored juice filling. The rest of the list you probably won't like unless you grew up as a kid eating and developing a pallet for. They're all tart and spicy, not sweet: (Personally I'm not a fan) Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarind Chili Push Up Candy- its a spicy candy gel that looks like hair when you squeeze the tube up. Lucas Chili Powder- it looks like a tiny salt container and they come in different flavors: chamoy, acidito, super spicy ect. I would go for the lime flavor. It's sour and tangy. You pour this directly into your mouth. Vero Rebanaditas (watermelon) & Vero Mango Paletas- these are spicy and tart lollipops. Aside from the plethora of candy choices they sell so many kinds of pinatas, decorations, and party favors. They have Yogolandia where you can make your own Yogurt cup and choose your toppings. They have a snack bar that sells elotes, cookies, hot cheetos, nachos, ect. and a seating area. I would inquire about birthday party packages. I'm not sure if they still offer party rooms and all the other amenities. Def a good spot to venture out. Don't forget to bring the kids!

Old School favorites that I enjoyed as a kid. I walked around mesmerized by the specialized, unique flavors of chocolate, gummies and many other goodies. The candy store serves up chocolate with liquor, coffee, latte, ice cream and other delicious treats that will water your mouth. I selected my 2 pieces of chocolate and purchase some additional treats. I handed the lady behind the counter my money and in return to lays my change down on the counter. I put my hands out for her to place it in my hands. Unfortunately, she missed the hint. She looked down at the money for me to pick it up myself. I believe in supporting small neighborhood businesses. The 3-star review that I'm giving is for the wonderful display of candies from my childhood and the warmth I felt in my heart. I'm happy that there are still old school candy shops around. Not sure I will visit again. Laying my money down on the counter was a bit rude
