Fannie May Fine Chocolates

Best Chocolates ever by far. Trinidads are amazing as well are the different candy bars they have. The place always smells so good but do expect of a chocolate store??? I love the samples they give out too.

I was surprised that, 3 days before Christmas, there weren’t numerous displays of packaged/​wrapped boxes. The ONLY product lining their walls and on display: turtles and some choco –cherryish thing (?). Oh, and chocolate crayons. (Note: A Fannie May rep contacted me and explained a warehouse fire caused the product shortage. Thankfully no one was hurt!)
No biggie, though: I was next in line at the counter. They had boxes they were making, so I got my 1# of Assorted Cremes and a ½# of Choco Covered Orange Peels in a jiffy. Good thing it wasn’t during a peak time!
Wrapping is complimentary.
The price tag was heftier than I recall. $ 39.50, but I guess on-​par with a chocolatier by my mom’s in McHenry.

Not the friendliest of customer service but I was pleasantly surprised at the price– I was expecting it to be a lot more expensive. They’ve added some cool new fancy truffles. I appreciate the selection. I find the pricing confusing. It costs more to get a little box instead of the same candy in a bag– FYI.

I have six words for you: Mini Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups.
They are not overly sweet; and to be honest, you would never know they are sugar free.
This is a small store; with minimal personnel. When I have stopped in my aforementioned favorites are usually out of stock.
Not a personnel problem, just a high consumer purchase item.
But if you hit this place when they are in stock, they are awesome!

Why I go to lthis Fannie May location is my own fault, it is not the candy, it is the most rude employees, (older ladies) who will not budge … ok, saturday, at 10:10 am, they just opened the doors, asked for ½ lb cheeries, no problem, they were already boxed… Then I said, may I have ½ lb dark chocolate fruit & nuts, this red head older lady, in the most horrible tone of voice said, can’t you take a pound box, we do not have any half pound boxes made up … The same thing happened last year. there was not one person waiting … just me … with that I went to
Grahams in Wheaton & they were more then happy to hand pack anything I wanted & there was a line behind me… they were also hand packing all the special request & with a SMILE … You go Grahams Chocolates !!! Great Customer Service … :)
