A lifelong love of candy

Hi! We are Whimsical Candy®, Chicago's fun original artisan candy.  Our company is based on a lifelong love of candy—our founder at age three packed her little pink suitcase and tried moving to a candy store. Now a trained pastry chef, she makes small batch sweets that blend a grown-up taste for quality with the fun and classic flavors of childhood candy. 

Artisanal candy that’s pure fun

Our products are handmade with fresh, natural ingredients. We make the candy we want to eat—chewy, satisfying textures and full, balanced flavors. Who says artisanal candy has to be serious?

“I visit Whimsical Candy quite often and I always have such a wonderful experience. The owner takes great pride in her products and they’re always fresh. I love it there!”
