Burke Candy & Ingredients

This review is for the storefront, which is technically in Whitefish Bay, WI. We stopped by both their manufacturing facility and the storefront this past week when I was in town attending the Retail Confectioners International conference.The storefront is very cute. The proprietress gave us samples of their crunchy peanut butter truffles and also their chocolate-covered toffees, and I ended up purchasing a few things: some sea salt truffles from their $1 bin in the front; their s'mores, for $5; and two truffles, a tiramisu one and a mint meltaway. Everything was delicious.They also do a great presentation: you get one gift bag with tissue paper for what you buy, and I believe you can buy extra bags if needed, too. I gave my dad the s'mores today for Father's Day and we split it with my mom, and everyone liked it.Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Though my chocolate "needs" have gone down in recent months, I would go no where else in MKE as a first choice for chocolate. I bought 3 pounds for Chanukkah treats last month. Nothing but rave reviews.

I'm a chocoholic, and anyone who is needs to visit Burke!While taking a shortcut home, I happened by Burke Candy, which is an unglamorous industrial area. I checked the website and saw they are open during the week until 4:30, so not always easy to get to.Some time off this week provided the opportunity to go and my expectations were low, mostly because of the location and that I hadn't heard of them before. Walking in, however, I was transported to a blissful land of chocolate. Eat your heart out Willy Wonka.Beautiful, artistic and enticing chocolate treats were everywhere and Julia, one of the owners, shared her passion. So many options, and everything I tried was chocolate perfection. The toffees are a great place to start, especially the English Toffee.Make a point to discover this hidden gem. It's special and a chocolate oasis. And you don't even need a golden ticket.

This place is a very special place.... everything is made with great care and all the candy is awesomely crafted with love! Went to get my wife some toffee for Mother's Day Julia the owner was there an excellent very helpful to assist in making the best selection! This place is a treasure to the community and so worth making a trip to!

Holy guacamole, Batman. I have lived in Milwaukee for over 30 years, and never knew about this place until I was browsing Yelp one day. After reading the reviews and being a self proclaimed chocolate expert, I had to check it out.First off, diamond in the rough is almost a literal description of this place. While it is obviously not a literal diamond, it is an amazing place. It is down a random side road in a commercial district. You would NEVER know there is an amazing candy store on this street without the address. You park and get to the door, still wondering what you are about to experience.Once you go in, the shop area is tiny. Probably less than 10x10 of shopping area, check out, and standing room. AWESOME. For the locals, you know when you walk through Old Milwaukee section in the museum? This is a modern form of one of those shops. A tiny place hand making delicious candy daily, and selling them with a smile and a friendly word. It feels like you are walking into a late 18th century shop where the owners make the candy, sell it, and have a relationship with the customers. Incredible. After sampling some toffee, I went for a mix of toffee and caramel. I would say they were both some of the best candies I have had. The prices were high enough to know you are buying quality, but not outrageous. The shocker of the experience for me was when the lady got out her iPad and square to take my payment. I love seeing technology working for small business. When she asked me how I came across her store, and I told her yelp, a smile came across her face. We are doing some good for our community! Now go try some incredible treats and leave with a happy sweet tooth. Don't forget to check in and notice the yelp sticker on the door on your way into paradise.

Nicest people, best toffee (rich and buttery without being too sweet) and pecan turtles. This is my go to place for pecan turtles in Milwaukee.

Be sure to ask if what you are buying is made by Burke, because some of their candies are not, which made me feel betrayed because they portray themselves as family owned, local, and list their ingredients. Why would they stoop to putting their label on something that they didn't make? I think we know the answer. So much for supporting local small business.

We received a Mother's Day chocolate kit for my kids to build a gift for their mother, it was awesome! My kids thoroughly enjoyed building the kit and maybe eating it as well. We also enjoyed their salted caramel chocolates, they were the best I have ever had!I would highly recommend ordering from Burke Candy. They are creative and clearly have a passion for what they do! We will be ordering from them again, especially when I am in the dog house!

I've ordered from Burke's for several years and it is been a wonderful experience. All the chocolates are tasty, especiallylove the Flying T's. In addition, the Flying T's come with manydifferent options to choose from ---- dark or milk chocolate, plusan array of nuts, as well. This is a family business and they care about their customers, as a result the customer service is "outstanding".Thanks to all the folks at Burke's, a special shout out to Julia.

The office I work at orders Grandmother Reilly's Chocolates from Burke Candy often. I'm a sucker for their English Toffee and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels.Their chocolate and caramel always tastes so fresh (if you've ever eaten a surprisingly stale chocolate bar, whether from a vending machine or a commercialized candy shop, then you know how important this is), and I love that the business is family owned and operated. Shop local! Eat chocolate!
