For those of you who did not grow up in the Chicagoland area, you are most likely unfamiliar with Albanese. Albanese is a candy factory that claims "World's Best Gummies and Candies", and if you have ever been there, you know that's the truth. At the two locations, they have just about every candy you could think of at inexpensive prices, some of which are made right there in the factory as well as your favorite candy brand names. The candy factory also offers tours of their candy making, and around holidays, offers pictures with Santa or the Easter Bunny. Here are five of the best sellers that Albanese has to offer!
1: Gummy Bears
The gummy bears are the candy that the establishment is renowned for. They are manufactured in the candy factory, and the bears even sport the letter "A" on their bellies! Coming in a variety of different flavors, from more fruity flavors such as peach, blue raspberry, green apple, cherry, and more, to more creamy flavors such as strawberry banana and orange creme, there is a flavor for everyone's tastebuds. Additionally, you can purchase the bears dipped in chocolate!
2: Buckeyes
Buckeyes are another delicious treat that is also made inside of the establishment. If chocolate and peanut butter is what you crave, this is the candy for you. These peanut butter balls dipped in rich milk chocolate are one of the most mouth watering sweets that Albanese has to offer.
3: Sour Belts
The sour belts at Albanese are my personal favorite. A perfect mix of sour and sweet, these lengthy treats come in a small variety of different flavors, such as green apple, blue raspberry, strawberry, lemon, pink lemonade, and rainbow.
4: Milk Chocolate Melt-Aways
This candy is calling all chocolate lovers. A creamy milk chocolate center coated in even more milk chocolate is guaranteed to melt in your mouth and cure any chocolate craving.
5: Spicy Cajun Kickers Snack Mix
The last top seller to make the list is the Spicy Cajun Kickers Snack Mix. This item is not a candy, rather a snack mix consisting of cashews, peanuts, pretzel balls, chili lemon cornsticks, breadsticks, pretzels and rye chips, all mixed in Albaneses' hot cajun seasoning.
If you ever find yourself in the Region, stopping at Albanese and discovering your own favorite candy will certainly be worth your while.
