Meet us where chocolate and toffee entice
You can’t miss the distinctive hot pink and lime green awning of Lilett’ Candies. And you certainly won’t want to miss the free sample of English Toffee that customers receive when visiting the shop!
We’re willing to wager that you won’t be able to stop with the one sample. The selection at this traditional candy shop is just too good to pass up!
Try the Pecan Caramel Nut Paws or the Fudgeballs. Delight in the Petite Pecan Patties or the Peanut Butter Cups.
This is the perfect place to find a gift. The sampler boxes or the Hometown Collection that includes Chicago Toffee and Chicago Truffles make for great gifts.
Lilett’ Candies is open Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 3:30pm. The store is closed Wednesday and Sunday.
Samplers start at about $25 for a variety of chocolates or truffles. Fudgeballs start at about $25 for a one-pound box. The English Toffee also starts at $25 for a one-pound box.
Karen Gula is the owner of Lilett’ Candies. With a long background in fine chocolate and candy making, Gula built her shop into the gourmet candy shop you see today.
Gula studied chocolate and candy making at the Wilton School in Woodridge and built a wholesale chocolate business, which connected her with the chocolate community and the then-owners of the candy shop. She worked with those original owners, Jim and Lillian Manusos, often helping out in the candy kitchen.
She purchased Lilett’ from the Manusos in 2000 and ultimately moved the shop from Brookfield to La Grange.
Lilett’ Candies is located at 104 Calendar Avenue in La Grange. It is steps from the La Grange Road STop on the BNSF Metra Line.
