TBE candied apples, taffy apples, etc. I had em at some place in Crystal Lake and am still to make the pilgrimage to Richmond BUFU to the OG Anderson's, but this Barrington location has been there since before covid. Long live chocolate. Expensive AF, but worth it. Life changing really like the first cathode ray TV, MP3s, 4D movies, or being with me. Once you do it, your life is changed. No more taffy apples anywhere else but from here. Hand made. THEY ONLY HAVE THEM APPLES DURING FALL THO. Chocolate covered, taffy, etc.

The young gentleman helping me was incredibly personable and friendly, even sharing the history of the store with such pride and enthusiasm. You can truly tell he loves where he works and values the family/business behind it. I was amazed by the variety and quality of chocolates -- definitely not your average commercial candy shop. Everything felt unique, thoughtful, and special. To top it off, he beautifully wrapped the gift in a box with a ribbon, which made it feel even more personal and meaningful. Definitely returning again -- both for gifts and for myself!

We also bought the amazing rice krispy treats (dairy free)- one covered in jelly beans and one covered in nerds. Again, the jelly beans were so soft & fresh.

I quickly took the detour and was sure glad I did. I walked in and all I could smell was a sweet aroma of the many different flavors of popcorn being freshly prepared as I stood there drooling wondering if I should snack on sweets or go for the real treat... The Vienna all beef quarter pound hot dogs! Naturally, being as I am from Chicago and I love all things Chicago, and in preparation for my trip to the Bears whipping of the Green Bay Packers tomorrow, I decided to have a Chicago dog and the chili Mac dog. Both were delightful, the Chicago dog came the way it was meant to be served if you were downtown Chi town. Poppy seed bun, sport peppers, mustard, not a chance there would ever be any catchup on it nor would you be asked to put catchup on it because that's not how you make those things! It was wonderful and filling, the chili Mac was amazingly good also. I did not purchase any popcorn this time around but I feel I will get some before Christmas because the flavors in the selection looked wonderful! Make the trip you will be pleasantly delighted!
