Illinois Nut & Candy: Raising the Candy Bar Review and Giveaway

Illinois Nut & Candy has been serving sweet treats and Raising the Candy Bar for over 25 years.  Until recently, I had never heard of this company and was thrilled at the opportunity to sample some of their chocolate treats.


I chose their 16 Piece Box of Truffles!  These truffles are handmade and delicious.  Each truffle was so pretty, almost too pretty to eat.  The hard outer shell blended perfectly with the soft truffle center.  They will literally melt in your mouth.

My delicious truffles, they sure didn't last long!

With over 600 delicious confections to choose from, it wasn't an easy decision.  From delicous chocolate treats to chocolate covered nuts to sweet chocolate dipped fruits to gourmet dog treats!  As you can see, they have something for everyone!

Illinois Nut & Candy is the largest Kosher candy store in the Midwest and offers sweet treats that are:

  • Gluten Free
  • Lactose Free
  • Sugar Free
  • Organic
  • Vegan Friendly

    Chocolate Multi Colored Drizzled Taffy Apple




    Their customer service is top notch. My e-mails were answered promptly and by the friendliest staff. Their goal is to provide the highest quality in candy and confections and service and it shows. Illinois Nut & Candy will go above and beyond to satisfy their customers.  I've experienced this first-hand!













      WIN IT:

       ONE lucky Being Frugal and Making it Work reader is going to receive a 4 piece box of truffles and a chocolate heart lollipop

      Mandatory Entry:

      Visit Illinois Nut & Candy and tell me what your favorite product is.
