This place is dangerous and close by too. I hear the best item here are the chippers. We decided to give the chippers ago. Mostly milk chocolate with a thin ruffle chip piece. It's just the right amount of chocolate and dessert with a slight crunch from the ruffle chip. It's good. Best to stop by after eating a sufficient meal. read more

What's there to say? We've been loving Widman's candy for decades. It's always the same- delicious!

A place to buy gifts for others and yourself. There is an endless range of homemade chocolate and candy. I have so much fun looking around and seeing candy apples, varieties of chocolate, specially shaped and molded pieces, licorice, lollipops made of chocolate and peanut butter, peanut brittles, chocolate dipped potato chips (chippers), and so much more! Small and bigger sized portions and sugar free or reduced sugar options also. read more

Best chocolate covered potato chips in the US & Canada. They even ship with cold packs throughout the USA. Shipped 2 boxes to our granddaughter in Delaware for her bridal shower gift. They arrived crisp and cold. She loved them. Very friendly North Dakota staff goes the extra mile for their customers. read more

Busy busy busy place . Bought lots of chippers for family members for Christmas . Same great service as always & I appreciate the sample candy every time I buy something love this place ! read more

I'm from Washington state and have never been here, however, my friend's Mom lives in Grand Forks and occasionally sends Chippers. Wow! We always say "the perfect combination of salty and sweet." Thanks Widman family! read more

All categories are well served, candy, polite and helpful staff is professional Chippers are always a hit and well liked as they disappear quickly read more

We were lunch at brewery next door and on our way out caught a glimpse of a sign that said chocolate so of course we had to check it out. Quaint little old shop in the old town area. Lots of shelves with pre-packaged goods and then a counter up front full different options. My friend that lives here said I had to try the chippers (chocolate covered potato chips) since that's what they are known for. I picked up a bag of milk chocolate and a bag of dark chocolate. I also grabbed some white chocolate blueberry zingers and a bag of dark and milk chocolate coconut cremes. The staff was super friendly and offered a free sample as we placed our orders. I sampled the cookies and creme and it was rich and creamy. As we walked out the store I tried a piece of each of the things I ordered. Everything was absolutely delicious. Nice and rich chocolate and the chippers were the best combo of sweet and salty. I usually eat a bunch of chips or popcorn and then crave sweets so at least with the chippers I get the best of both in one bite!! read more

I heard about the chippers! Tried the dark chocolate ones. Out of this world and so addicting!

The chocolate is delicious! I highly recommend that you try their chippers. We were visiting the University of North Dakota, and read the reviews for this place. This is a must do activity, especially if you are out of state. read more

Wow. This chipper thing is out of this world. Visting family in Angus, MN we stopped in town to have a couple drinks and sightsee. We were told it was a must stop at Widman's. When I came the year before for a wedding I walked right past the building and had no idea. Fantastic! Suggestion- Try the chippers. I won't tell you what they are. Just do it. Moose Out read more

This is the BEST chocolate I have ever had! This local candy shop is beloved by the locals and I now know why. They're famous for these wondrous candies called "Chippers" that a friend of mine told me about as he spent his childhood here in Grand Forks. This family owned shop offers a whole host of things covered in chocolate and I tried their chippers and their milk chocolate covered pickle. DELICIOUS!!! read more

Whenever I think about Grand Forks I think about Widman's. I grew up having chippers and it is a staple in our family for holidays and presents. Any time I come home to visit a trip is not complete without a stop at Widman's. Favorites: chocolate covered green olives, fritters (perfect chip and chocolate ratio), the toffee, baby spuds (potato chips, marshmallow creme and chocolate), peanut butter chippers, and the sea salt caramels. I know the chocolate covered green olives sound like a stretch, but seriously TRY IT. Perfect ratio of sweet and salty. read more

Widman's Candy Shop - Why I come here. - Candy Stores Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

Great candy shop. Real old time homemade chocolate. Enjoy! La de da, la de da. What else can you say. Great old timey candy shop with gourmet chocolate. read more

This place has an amazing assortment of candy and it's all so delicious and home-made, but they got rid of the chocolate covered bacon bits which takes this place from an absolute 5 stars to 2 stars. Will not be visiting again unless they bring it back. But I highly recommend going here for your candy needs. read more

Great chocolate and without a doubt an iconic location in Grand Forks. Messed up my order slightly for Christmas but was still great! Also sad that they took away the bacon chocolate and the chocolate pizzas which was a highlight of my childhood. read more

Okay - so I've never actually been to this candy shop, but my boss is from the area, heads back at least twice yearly and brings those delicious "Chippers" back for me!! Yes, rippled potatoe chips, covered in chocolate...weird, yet YUMMY. He's also brought back their jalapenos covered in chocolate, though I doubt they're called "chippers" I will eventually find myself up NoDak on business or some such and I will for sure be stocking up on the "Chippers" and whatever other chocolate covered goodness they got going!! YUM! read more

Every few years I make it to Grand Forks. This time I came, my mom put in an order for Chippers. Leaving with three pounds of them and other assorted chocolates read more

I have not been to the candy shop but have enjoyed the chippers when friends come to visit and bring us a new supply. The chocolate is delicious! If I was a traveling person, Widman's would be on my list of places to visit. read more

The dark chocolate oatmeal clusters are out of this world delicious . 1/4 of a pound was not enough!

This place is a blast from the past! Nice little candy shop that has a awesome product called Chipper! If you haven't had chipper you gotta try it! YUM! The two things i have tried here and didnt like though are Chocolate covered Olives and the Chocolate covered jalapenos, those two were not that great IMO. But the rest of the stuff here is so good its hard to pass up going here! read more

This is is the best chocolate I have ever had! Growing up in GF, I grew up on it, from Chippers to Chocolate covered Pickles & Jalepenos, you cant go wrong. For little ones, the Chocolate dipped Cinnamon Bears are a must! If you like Butterfingers, they have "Hot Air" (Dark Chocolate is my fav) Give them a try, they do ship!! read more

Great tasting chocolate! Loved their Chippers!! Second time in Grand Forks and I'm making sure to stope by again to get some more to take home! read more

I love this little shop, a true gem in Grand Forks. The people working inside have been as sweet to me as the candy. They give you a free sample every time (YAY!). They have a lot of different items so I usually try one of those (chocolate covered olives, jalapenos etc). My favorites are the dark chocolate covered salted caramels. Like heaven. Go here and get some candy, NOW! read more

A throwback to old time candy shops, and their chippers (chocolate covered potato chips) are the most addicting things ever. Get their early cause they sell out, and be sure to try something because you get a free taste when you're there! Just a great family run place. read more

My sister lives in Grand Forks. Every year she sends us a box of Chippers for Christmas. They are delicious & go like hot cakes. Everybody asks about them. Love 'em. read more

I was reading the reviews and learned I needed to purchase and try "chippers." I got them in dark chocolate and I have to say it is a must try. I think it is a little unusual and would probably like a thicker potato chip and less chocolate, but that's just me of course. I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate covered bacon bits and jalapeno. I think the chocolate covered jalapeno was my favorite. Again, unusual, but somehow a VERY perfect combo. Going to buy more before returning home!!! read more

Unique candy shop near downtown Grand Forks. The outside doesn't necessarily scream "candy store" (and it's next to an adult store, which makes you wonder if you're at the right address, haha), but the inside is an explosion of pastels and chocolate! I tried an assortment of the Chippers, which weren't quite as exciting as I hoped, but the peanut butter was my favorite. Of the items I picked up, the spuds were my favorite. They also have a great souvenir gift - North Dakota Products, which includes different chocolates coating soy beans, sunflower seeds, and some Chippers. Another unique item I saw was a chocolate turtle "dish" filled with little turtle candies. They have -so many- things, including an array of sugar-free items. Things seemed a bit pricey to me, but still impressed by selection. read more

Just say YES to CHIPPERS. The challenge is trying to stop eating them. Mmmm.

Took my sister here, she is visiting from out of state and I thought it would be fun to try something new. The lady at the front was rude to us. I felt very disrespected by her attitude and that my business was not appreciated. I've heard great things about the shop and was very disappointed with my experience. I do not plan to return based on how they treat new costumers. read more

So not sure where you live, you reader of this post. But...you need to come here and get some chippers. I'm sure their huge candy selection is wonderful but those chippers are worth going for...wherever you live. I was skeptical trying a chocolate covered ridged potato chip....but I did...and then I tried one more to just be sure and next thing I knew the whole box was gone. They should change the name to magically disappearing chips...because they do. read more

I'm a Widman's Candy fan! The Chippers are great! Chocolate covered potato chips are the best. They also have other things you can't find anywhere....like chocolate covered jalapeno peppers, or pickle chips. A great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! read more

I absolutely love Widmans! Chippers and chocolate covered caramels were always my favorites until they offered me a free sample. On a whim I gave the jalapenos a shot and I was hooked! A good old fashioned candy shop is hard to find and one of this quality is totally worth tracking down. Only a couple blocks off the main drag, its easy to miss if you're not looking for it, so GO LOOK FOR IT! read more

Widmans candy shop has been there in Grand Forks as long as I can remember. I grew up in the area and our dad would take us there sometimes. Mr. Widman would always offer us a sample of something before we would decide on what to get :) We went back to Grand Forks this last summer and we stopped in at Widmans, and they still offered us a sample of a candy :) We go back to this wonderful candy store whenever we get back to Grand Forks, it wouldnt be the same if we didnt... They have the very best candy I have ever had! If you have never been there, you should make it a point to go there, it will be worth your while!!! read more

My brother in law is from ND. His mom brings "chippers" to NY for us. Love them, she says other make chocolate covered chips but that these are the best! Don't settle for less. read more

I just received a gift from Mr. John Marshall of these chips!! They are Fabulous!! I will enjoy these very slowly.

Widman's has been a family favorite for years. Although we no longer live in North Dakota, we always swing by the shop for chocolate covered potato chips on our way to visit relatives. The quality of their candy is exceptional. read more

Joe brought back some chippers back with him from his vacation. They are pretty awesome and speaking from a fat kids point a view I wouldn't mind eating a couple of boxes over some video games. Being that I live in Vermont this probably wont happen but one can dream. read more

I'm amazed to find no reviews for this Grand Forks institution. Great, old-fashioned candy. The chocolate-covered potato chips are worth trying. read more

It is not just amazing candy, it's an experience!! I love taking my boys into this store, it's so much fun. The little shop is so cool and it smells amazing!!! I take all my family and friends who come to visit to Widmans! read more
