You can’t take a trip through the fictional Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory in real life, but Anderson’s Candy Shop is the next best thing. The Richmond/Barrington-based shop has produced quality fudges, caramels, truffles and chocolate candies for four generations. Anderson’s Candy Shop was named among the best candy makers in North America by sources like the L.A. Times and Consumer’s Digest.
They’re not known for corny jokes, but they do have a cheesecyclopedia. Wisconsin’s unique cheese making heritage has produced excellent eats for more than 160 years. Cheesemakers have long praised the state’s elements as perfect ingredients for producing superior milk and, of course, non-steroid or preservative used cheese. Today, third-and-fourth-generation cheesemakers continue to instill classical traditions, while setting new standards in cheese making craftsmanship and artistry. The state’s 1,200 cheesemakers produce more than 600 varieties, types and styles of cheese.
That moment you realize you can mash three divine eats together is so extra. Bauer's Catering, a Libertyville cuisine genius is delivering waffle ice cream sandwiches to a mouth near you. The family-made scrumptious delight is fresh-made and homemade. On top of the ice cream, feel free to add whip cream, hot fudge, chocolate chips, granola, blueberries, strawberries and a whole other slew of toppings.
