These 10 Candy Shops In Illinois Will Make Your Sweet Tooth Explode

In Richmond, Anderson's Candy Shop has been here for decades. Some of the favorites: caramel apples, sponge candy, and the Snappers.

Pease's is a family-owned candy store that has been a part of Springfield for decades, now with a new location. They have all sorts of confections that you will love...from the chocolate-covered coffee beans to the caramels. You taste the real butter and sugar and love.

Down in Tuscola, Flesor's has been around since the turn of the century (the 20th century, that is). This place is a step back in time, complete with the old cash register. Everything has that classic candy taste--like homemade peanut brittle.

Over in Pekin, Maurie's has been a staple for over 70 years. If you've never checked them out, you HAVE to. Today. They have over 30 varieties of homemade candies and fudge, caramel apples, and caramel nut apples.

Lagomarcino's has been in business for a while now...since 1908, to be exact. They have two locations, one in Moline, IL and the other in Davenport, IA. Right now, they are serving up some awesome caramel apples (way better than those packaged ones at the grocery store). They sell candies, chocolates, and ice cream, too.

Located in Lincoln Square, Amy's Candy Bar has ALL sorts of candies for you to choose from. They've got local artisan candy, imported candy, and even those nostalgia candies.

Why stop at just American candy when you can also sample hundreds of Mexican candies as well? They have some off-the-wall flavors. Adventurous? Try the "Pollito Asado," which is the spicy roasted chicken, peach-flavored lollipops.

In South Holland, Cunis Candies might not look like too much viewed from the street. But wait till you step inside. It's got all the charm of an old-school candy and ice cream shop. Yes, they sell both! You'll love their house-churned ice cream and all of their handmade chocolates. It's a real treat!
