Went downtown for the first time and stopped here — a great selection. We bought a couple items of candy and 1 pound of assorted chocolates. Sorry, nothing special — the chocolate seemed to be the quality you’d find at a gas station and the candy was tough. I’ll buy grocery store chocolate before this place.

Exactly what a locally owned candy store should be. This place had everything, great candy, friendly staff, and a scenic location. The owner was an extremely kind man that you could tell loves what he does. He spent some time with my friancee and I, and showed us a little of everything they do. He let us try some of their more specialized candy including their Angel Food. If you haven’t had it, you need to try it, that stuff is incredible. It’s got all the flavor of a chocolate caramel treat, but it’s crisp and doesn’t feel like you’re eating a block of sugar. They had everything you could want, gummies, truffles, chocolate pretzels, and every combination of chocolate nuts caramel raisin oreo etc that I could think of. This place is truly great, and well worth a visit.

If you find yourself in town and want to check out the shops downtown, then this is the place if you are craving chocolate and candy.

The woman working there was pretty unfriendly and acted as if I had interrupted her when I asked for help. The candy selection is unimpressive, and it appears that everything comes to them prepackaged and they don’t make anything themselves. I got a few truffles and fancy chocolates, but they were only ok and very overpriced. I could find most of that stuff in a big box store.

This is a great little candy shop. I tried some of their truffles, and they were really good. The butter pecan is the best I’ve tried to date. The staff is friendly. They also have a good selection of hard to find penny style candy. My only complaint… do away with the candy cigarettes. Not cool.

When I lived in Wisconsin– I was introduced to a candy I had never had before. .. .angel food. Not angel food cake, but angel food candy, sort of a caramel crunchy inside covered in dark chocolate in large chunks. Delicious! Since moving to Chicago, it has been a long time since I had this Christmastime delight…until I wandered into the Candyman in downtown West Bend. And there in front of me was an entire tray of these delicious nuggets! And there were plenty of other treats that were all beckoning to me. The staff was helpful in boxing up my indulgence and I was on my way in no time at all.…with just a little bit of Wisconsin Christmas memories in my bag.
