At Illinois Nut & Candy we specialize in indulgence. From Gourmet Taffy Apples to custom confections we have it all. We strive to be the largest niche friendly candy store in the country we offer Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly options as well as everything in our store is certified kosher. Because our items are kosher certified you can be certain that anything marked Pareve is certified Dairy Free, Casein Free and Lactose Free.
OurP selections include crèmes, barks, dipped glaced fruit, turtles, truffles peppermint patties, taffy apples and custom molded confection for any holiday. This does not include the large variety of treats like chocolate covered raisins and pretzels (just to name a few) that are Dairy Free, Casein Free and Lactose Free.

What truly separates us is our commitment to quality, customer service and giving back to the community. This commitment starts with our front door which is equipped with an Inclusion Solutions Big Bell doorbell. This doorbell allows the disable or the mom with multiple kids to ring the bell and ask for assistance. Our web site www.RaisingTheCandyBar is text based so it passes the WCAG 1.0 Priority A (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/) One of the many ways we give back to the community is by working with Keshet. Keshet is dedicated to “enhancing independence, optimizing personal potential … and encouraging community integration for individuals with developmental disabilities”. Throughout the academic year our customer will see young people from their programs working in our store.

At Illinois Nut and Candy one of our goal is to be inclusive. We want everyone regardless of their particular food requirement to have a sweet experience.
