Anderson's Candy Shop

Welllll, chocolate is not my favorite sweet treat, but here it's pretty darn good. I love the caramel and chocolate dipped pretzels with nuts, and their caramels are the best anywhere. It's pricey yes but all worth it and fresh. I remember finding this place years ago and since been living everywhere for years and unfortunately for my waistline, it is way too accessible to me now. Lol. I am glad to have rediscovered it. Worth the money and the calories for when you get that sweet tooth craving.,It can be a long wait on weekends but definitely worth it.

my fiancé and I stopped in today- I had shared some candies with him that I got from my last visit to Richmond and we knew we *had* to go when we got the chance. the shop smelled so good- the smell of sweets hit your nose as soon as you walk in.Katie was so sweet and told us all we needed to know about the candies her family's shop offered. I can't wait to come back in July!(plus we got these little frogs in a blind grab bag from the shop! we both told one another how we got the best item right before revealing them to one another and laughed how perfect they were)

The best chocolate anywhere. Pricey but the candy bars are heaven. Dark chocolate and ginger or orange peel. The caramels and toffee Awesome

Chocolate. Donuts. Gifts. It is a happy place! We entered on a cold day walking the streets of Richmond, IL. We took in all their gift offerings like Christmas ornaments, household supplies and... chocolate! Loads and loads of chocolate. The homemade bars are the best. I got a chocolate peanut butter crunch - it is sorta like a Clark bar or a Butterfinger. Those are for reference only because these Anderson bars are in a league of their own!Then, they tell me they have these homemade donuts. I get some - a 12 pack for the family. They are smaller two-biters so don't judge... they were fresh, warm and melted in the mouth type of donuts! So, so good!It was a fun place to be. A happy place to be. My only regret - I didn't buy enough candy bars!

Very disappointed. Spent over $50 For chocolate to take home. Refrigerated some and froze some... after the first day It all turned white and spoiled. Waste of money.

Their candy is phenomenal - best I've had. I'm not a dark chocolate fan but their dark chocolate is my fave. The vanilla nut cream is excellent also. It's a good thing they're not closer because I'd have a hard time staying away.

A Richmond (& Barrington) institution, original family run chocolatier & gift shop. Stopped by today with my Daughter& Bride for some after dinner treats. Picked up their: Dark Chocolate Toffee bar, Orange Flavor, Peanut Butter Cup delicacy, and others that barely made it home. Nothing like fresh homemade chocolates. Their gift shop is also worth a stop & pick up for those hard to please folk. When in Richmond ( on your way to Wisconsin) stop by & buy some...Your worth It! Cheers!!!

Too notch house made candy. Old fashioned made and the best of the best. Sweet tooth overload. 10 stars

I purchased the lars bar. very yummy. also had a dark chocolate hazelnut bar. Their chocolate is very good. I definitely will stop in again when i travel to Illinois.

The smores bars, and chocolate truffles were fantastic. The entire store has an amazing chocolate fragrance! Super cute gift shop and lovely people. The outside of the building really needs a little TLC because we thought they were out of business from the look of the exterior.
