Sugar addicts beware: this husband-and-wife-owned Roscoe Village sweet shop is habit-forming. Freestanding cases boasting all kinds of treats are surrounded by delectable, lime-colored walls and swaying chandeliers. Chocolate-lovers: Look no further than the chocolate-covered blueberries and chocolate-and-nut-covered toffee. Craving ice cream? A scoop of pistachio should do the trick (flavors rotate weekly).
As the name promises, you can also buy suckers, including smiley pops, swirly pops, gourmet suckers and even "safety" suckers for small children. Bulk candy takes a retro turn with wax lips, licorice whips and saltwater taffy. Also check out the novelty toys: balsa wood airplanes, scuba divers and cork guns. Hosting a party? Order custom-filled bags and baskets.
