Fannie May Fine Chocolates

Such a treat to be able to bring my kids into a candy shop that I used to come to when I was younger. I saw the same excitement on their faces that I used to get coming here. Who can blame a kid for being excited in a store full of CHOCOLATE?! I was excited myself!
The trinidads are my absolute favorite. There is something magical about dark chocolate and coconut. The mint meltaways are a close second. The kids opted for basic milk chocolate, but they were happy customers… especially since they got it in lollipop form. They thought the idea of a chocolate lollipop was so cool.
This place is always a good option when thinking about gifts for my mom too. As much as she says that I shouldn’t have because she needs to watch her waistline, I can see her excitement. There is never a piece of chocolate that goes to waste when you get it from here. I still need to try the Fannie May icecreams, I am sure they are delicious!

What a SHAME!!! This is not the Product It once was!!! there are no flavors, what used to be rich, creamy, Buttery, Chocolates & fillings are now Just tinted sugery, waxy, flavorless Crap (may not even be real chocolate) I have enjoyed this Product for more than 40 years, it was a treat when my dad would bring home a big box for my Mom, Just the smell would excite me, now even that is gone! I have seen this candy go from 4 or 5 $ to 25 $ per pound. and now they have a gourmet line thats even more! SHAME ON YOU!!! The Truffels are just Glop! the Almond Clusters are Chips! this is not a high end product. I can get real flavor from SEE’S CANDIES and they stand behind their product.

December 2009 we spent the Christmas Holidays in Chicago. When I saw the Fannie May Kitchen Fresh Candy Shop my eyes got bigger and I giggled with a fit of laughter when we made our stop at this sweet shop! Fannie May candy shops are not found in California. Growing up I would see Fannie May sweet confections in Hallmark Stores. The shop is set up similar to See’s Candies.
We stopped into the shop a couple of days after Christmas only to notice they had a huge sale on all the holiday candies (note: See’s Candies never does this type of sale). Service was friendly and fast. There are certain FM chocolates that are my favorites– for example the Trinadad chocolate confections which are a white chocolate outside containing a chocolate/​coconut filling.
Our purchase included a few Trinadad chocolates and sugar free peanut candies for my grandma. They have a good selection of sugar free candies. Chicago is home to FM chocolates– too bad they don’t have a location in California.
Noelle’s Notes
Similar to See’s Candies but Chicago based.
