Chicago’s Best Candy Stores

Chicago’s Best Candy Stores
Chicago has a sweet past with candy. Iconic sweets such as Juicy Fruit, Baby Ruth, and Lemon Heads were all invented here. Still today, major companies and local candy makers alike create and sell their own candy confections throughout the city. Check out below for the best places to visit when you’re in the mood for something sweet.

Blommer Chocolate Company

Many Chicagoans know the Blommer Chocolate Company as the source of the chocolate smell that occasionally makes its way throughout the Loop. Inside the entrance of the factory lies a small store where chocolate and candy made fresh from the factory is available for sale. Even if you don’t buy anything (which is almost impossible), it’s worth stepping inside just for the aroma.

Blommer Chocolate Company, 600 W. Kinzie St., Chicago, IL, USA +1 312 226 7700
