This is their kitchen (factory) store and it is a great place to visit with lots of different items to choose from. Be sure to call to check their hours as they are open during the weekdays, but depending upon the time of the year... hours may be limited. So many different chocolates and nuts to choose from. You should've checked them out..

Gummy Bears: Quality Candy is easily one of my favorite when it comes to having a superior class of candy and their gummy bears are no exception. I was surprised by the multitude of flavors and colors that came in the pack. As you can see from the pic there are eleven different varieties. A high level of detail is also put into each bear as their individual features are easily distinguished. What really sets these apart from other gummy bears though is the incredible texture. They're chewy, but not overly so. In fact, they're actually amazingly soft. I can never go back to any other type of gummy bear after this, they're that good! Doughboy approved

I went in to get some "special treats" for Easter. The reason I mention this is because the store is very pricey and unless it's a special occasion, we really can't afford to get their candy.The great thing is that the candy is absolutely delicious and so full of quality ingredients. They are freshly made ,smooth and creamy. Sooooo wonderful. If we could afford to have it always-- we would. I got six marshmallow eggs and that was $14 plus tax. I also got very tiny mini solid bunnies and they were $5.15 each and a tiny bag of small chocolate foil covered eggs also $5.15. There was a small discount on the bag items and so I still spent $30 for a very tiny bit of candy.But it WAS mouthwateringly delicious. They had neat choices for the marshmallow eggs. I got just the standard regular marshmallow with milk chocolate covering, but they had raspberry marshmallow, mint marshmallow and maple marshmallow in either dark or milk chocolate.What would have really made my day was if they had a variety pack of the eggs. They could do a variety of the flavors of marshmallow and just stick with either dark or milk chocolate covering. Then we could've tried the mint, Maple, and raspberry. That would've really been great.They also could have had some other assortments of candy is bagged into tiny bags so that those could be purchased for an Easter basket-ready to take. For example a few pieces of fairy food or a few pieces of toffee. But there weren't any extra small bags of items to purchase. They have a counter with many pieces that can be purchased by the pound , but I didn't want to be picking out all of these different tiny things. I would've appreciated some bagged to go type items.Overall the candy was absolutely fantastic, it was just the price and amount that you get for the price that is hard to swallow. It was a special treat and appreciated.

A tradition for us every year is getting our maple cream eggs from Buddy Squirrel in St. Francis. It was a bit different this year with the Corona virus, they had curbside pick up. I ordered the day before online. I felt like it went down like one of those drug deals you see on tv. We honked the horn and they went to get our order. There was some confusion though. I did select store pick up but my order said it wss shipped? I didn't pay for shipping but will happily accept more eggs. It did take about 10 mins yo get our order straightened out. But honestly, i would wait all day!

Had I posted a review of Buddy Squirrel a couple years ago, it would have been without question a 5 star review. As it stands now, however...On the plus side, their candies are indeed delicious. I highly recommend their whipped cream eggs, which are a must every Easter, as well as their solid chocolate rabbits. Their toffee is also delightful, as are their various filled chocolates. They have also put in a display of discounted imperfect candies that are no less delicious than their standard fare.But...With the recent switch in ownership, there have been significant changes to their traditional product offerings. I used to be able to stock my kids Easter baskets exclusively with this store's products. Not anymore. The smaller items were the first to go. In particular, their glorious pectin jelly beans vanished last year. These were the ultimate in pectin jelly beans, but now we have been forced to make do with other brands. The selection of molded Easter chocolates has also shrank precipitously. Their raspberry sticks, a year round favorite, are gone as well.And this year? The selection of whipped cream eggs is down from 6 to 3 flavors. The wonderful caramel marshmallow eggs and the buttercream eggs have disappeared completely. Their new line of Joseph and Lotte candies are nice, but not really unique in the way these vanished products were. Buddy Squirrel products, both in their present incarnation as well as when they were Quality Candy had been a staple for my parents, myself and my children. I just don't know if they will continue to be so in the future.

This is our go to candy store for special occasions and Holidays. It is by far the best chocolate we've ever had! When I was a child my parents always bought solid milk chocolate Easter bunnies for our Easter baskets, we did the same for our kids, now our kids are buying for our grandchildren. Whenever we call or go to the store we're always treated with kindness. Last night it was Christina who greeted us with a smile when we walked through the door. She was extremely helpful, she knows her candy!

I live in Brown Deer. I went to get some popcorn. First, the person working there (only 1 person there) had no personality AT ALL She simply was not a HAPPY person. I bought the large cheese popcorn ($16.00). The popcorn was so STALE it was not edible. I should have checked it before I left but I had bought popcorn there before and never had an issue. I am super MAD and not only will I not go back, I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know not to go to this store.

Love the work you guys do. Thanks for the great memories n good service you do.

Candy and popcorn are good but too expensive. The ladies that work at the main factory location aren't personable at all, don't make you feel valued as a customer either. I feel like they replaced all the friendly workers with snobs within the last 2 years. They also don't offer discounts unless you're a senior or military. Confections in Wauwatosa is way more worth the visit and experience.

The quality of their products is wonderful, however their shipping skills for out of state customers is terrible along with customer service. I ordered over $80 in candies and had them shipped to me in NV. Their packing of the candy was so poor that the bags of fairy food smashed against each other and came in mostly pieces. Yes, USP is partly at fault for their handling. I wrote Buddy Squirrel to tell them and all I got was an apology and they blamed UPS. Since their were mostly gifts, I could not give them to those folks out of embarrassment for how bad they looked. No offer to replace or refund monies for the products. I've been buying their products for more than 40 years and continued after moving out of WI. I have now changed my mind about all future orders. The candies tasted good, if you like crumbs. A simple packing method would have been bubble wrap around each bad or packing worms between packages to prevent hitting each other. Not a good value for out of state shipments.
