Kehr’s Kandy Kitchen

This place is cute, love the displays of candy… especially at Easter. The giant chocolate bunny and the big filled eggs are worth a look.
The candy they make is old fashioned, just ok tasting, not really premium ingredients for the price. I stick with the purchased items like the triple dipped malted milk balls… those are amazing!
They do have ice cream that is ok, not great. Grocery store quality but ask for yesterday’s pints and it’s discounted.

Got a homemade custard (The Hawaiin /​Pineapple) for the walk back to the hotel.
Awesomely good.

It doesn’t get any better than this!
Truffles, truffles and more truffles. I mean if they don’t have it, you really don’t need to be looking for it. Their selection was outstanding. They also have a decent selection of sugar free candy!
I snagged a dark chocolate covered rice krispie treat, a big ass jawbreaker, some sunkist candies and a bunch of other stuff.
The staff was friendly and patient while we were making our selections. Great place for a treat or two before you leave the Market!

Willy Wonka has been by and he’s dropped off a slew of sweets. Gummis, chocolates, chocolate covered gummies, the possibilities are endless. I had my eyes on the chocolate covered oreos, but held back since I already had a bag full of cookies.
JC purchased cinnamon gummi bears (gross, to each its own), and Swedish fish.
Reasonably priced, wonderful selection. On our next trip, i’m going for the gold and purchasing some pieces of chocolate

Kehr’s is great for gifts since you can choose your own box. The staff was very nice and helped me pick out an assortment. The truffles are great. My favorites were the red velvet and the rum flavored one. This is not the type of place I would go to on a regular basis just because specialty candy isn’t cheap, but I will keep it in mind for gifting!

The man who waited on me was right — their English toffee is the best!

The malted milk balls are my crack! Triple dipped chocolate malted milk balls are fantastic. This place reminded me of the local candy store in St. Charles, MN when I was a kid. That store is long gone but the memories remain. The candy store has many homemade sweets sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Service is good and staff is friendly. The market place is a must visit in Milwaukee but remember to plug the parking meter as parking enforcement is a priority during the week. The river walk, which is across the street from the marketplace, is a great way to walk off those sweet calories!

Avoid the custard. I had the banana. It sucks. Fake color, fake flavor. Tastes like that bad penicillin I had to choke down as a kid. It’s an insult to real bananas to say its «home Made» I took it back and asked for the chocolate. It is passable but anemic compared to Kopps custard.

While I no longer indulge in their candy I still buy some from here as gifts for grandma and mom. Turtles for grandma, cherry cordials for mom. They love them. I used to order truffles and chocolate covered oreos for myself (everything dark chocolate). The oreos, amazing! The surprise I found was when I ordered a little variety box of the truffles. My favorite was the root beer one (try it, I SWEAR its good), in second was an orange colored truffle (mango… I don’t remember). Yes, they do deliver (I have used this a few times for grandma) just ask them for info. They do have sugar free candy if you need them. My husband also tried a berry wine ice cream once and it really does have alcohol in it (he could feel it a little) so this particular flavor is not for kids. Cute shop, great for gifts, tasty treats. Have fun! :-)

My mom’s birthday is two days after Christmas so my tradition is to buy her a box of chocolate, soft caramel and toasted pecans also called the trademarked name of «Turtles». This year I purchased a box from Kehr’s Kandy Kitchen to support a local business. The gentleman who took my order was very nice and even put a nice red ribbon around the box.
Side note: I have occasionally gotten sea salt caramels here. My girlfriend thinks Whole Foods’ Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels taste better.
**Unchain and support local businesses**

While the offerings of chocolate are impressive, the service at the counter left a poor impression and I shan’t return. I purchased over twenty different varieties and the clerk attending to me acted as though I was wasting her time in my purchases. She offered no additional, complimentary treats for my large purchase and offered no personalized service to my order.

MMM. Candy.
Chocolate is pretty darn good. Large selection. Man of La Marshmallow. Mmmmm.
I, as Rachel mentioned, am also glad I did not try the ice cream. It amazes me that they could mess up ice cream so badly!

Kehr’s = A O freaking K.
I’ll jump right in…
Service? Five stars. Five whole stars. The folks at Kehr’s were so nice. They offered to gift wrap my purchase for me. They also gave me 10% off just because, and let me try a «hot pepper truffle» for freeee.
Hot Pepper Truffle = excellent.
I like hot things. I like chocolate. Thus, you can see where I’m going with this…
And it was spicy, even for my tastes. I profess to be pretty into the hotness, but these truffles packed a punch. Unique and delightful, in my book.
I also purchased an assortment of homemade fairy food (milk & dark chocolate) because St. Nick was to come that evening. (Excuses, excuses, but I don’t care.) I LOVE fairy food. Best holiday candy ever. This fairy food? A-​OK. Chewier than I’d like, but it had a nice flavor. (I like my fairy food to be wicked crunchy.)
Buddy from «Elf» would no doubt be into a place like this, as they’re spreading holiday cheer with specials and super-​fun, holiday specific candies.
I didn’t have any ice cream, and based on the reviews, I’m glad I didn’t.
WIll return!

I’ve only had the candy here, so can’t comment on the ice cream. What keeps me coming back is the chocolate covered apricots which are really good. They come with either dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
I’ve had some of the other things such as the chocolate covered ginger, but it’s been just OK. It actually has too much chocolate. Now, I know you’re probably saying there’s no such thing, but the chocolate coating has consistently been as thick or thicker than the strip of ginger. I’d prefer a nice chunk of ginger that’s just been dipped in chocolate. I’ve had the same experience with the chocolate covered orange peels.
Some day I’ll give up one of my beloved apricots and try some other things. I’ll update this review when that happens.

I give Kehr’s Kandy Kitchen a one star for misleading the public. Shame on them! They clearly have signs advertising «homemade ice-​cream.» I curiously asked them what they make it from, and I was told, «Actually, it’s from a mix.» They churn it there. Churning is just pouring the pre-​made mix into a machine that turns a paddle to incorporate air into your ingredients! [I make it from scratch.] From a home-​made ice-​cream expert, I assure you, if you are using a mix, IT IS NOT HOMEMADE. I refuse to do business with anyone who tries to mislead the public.

The candy is good & prices are reasonable. I always get the chocolate covered peanuts but wish deep down they carried chocolate covered almonds too…
Keep an eye out for their daily/​weekly specials as you can get some very good deals. Kehr’s offers some nice assortment boxes which make good hostess gifts.
The ice cream… steer clear! I tried «champagne» well, because I love champagne. I don’t recall any bubbly I’ve ever had that tasted just like banana taffy but that’s what this tasted like. And icy, like it had been sitting. Gross!

My boyfriend and I stopped at the market for dessert after dinner the other night. We got custard and a jumbo dark chocolate peanut butter «egg». Freaking yum. While I do agree that if you’re looking for true custard, this may not be the best place (mine was also a little icy), but if you’re looking for something that tastes awesome and isn’t stupid expensive, this is a pretty good bet. I had the coconut custard and thought it was great– not too sweet with definite chunks of coconut. I tried the Blue Moon and thought it a little too sweet for my liking. My boyfriend was boring and got the vanilla, which was also excellent. Our adult peanut butter cup was superb. That’s not the first time we’ve gotten one here, but my boyfriend is pretty picky so the fact that he got another one despite the multitude of options says a lot. I thought the best was that we got two custards and the giant piece of candy for $ 5!

Had the custard here, however, whichever one you choose, the custard will be icy. The texture just doesn’t work. There are many flavors, so if you find one you like, try it with hesitation. We had the blueberry and chocolate cherry, both of which did not have the creamy custard consistency you would want.

I bought ice cream at this store. The middle-​aged man at the counter seemed friendly. Unfortunately, upon eating this tasty homemade ice cream, I discovered 2 – 3 small hairs in it. I can understand that this sort of thing happens sometimes; I took it back and alerted them about it, telling them they might want to check and make sure there isn’t any more in that particular flavor.
At this point, the older employee I had talked to earlier had left, and I was talking to a teenaged-​looking fellow who acquired a sort of deer in headlights look, and took a plastic spoon and poked around in that particular flavor of ice cream, throwing some out as he dug (no clue what that meant), then brought the entire bucket of ice cream over to allow me to peer in (presumably as proof there was nothing there; it really just made me feel very awkward).
He held the bucket up and asked whether I wanted more (of this same ice cream I had just discovered multiple hairs in). Well, not really at that point, you know?
As I left, I walked past the older employee again, and he asked whether I had received the wrong flavor of ice cream, and I said, no, it had hair in it. He made a face, said, «gross,» and kept walking. (presumably he didn’t realize the other co-​worker hadn’t made amends, if any amends are generally made for such mistakes).
I don’t know how they could have dealt with this better; perhaps refunded me the cost of the ice cream. At any rate, I won’t be eating there again, since it’s fairly expensive (and apparently has low quality control).
PROS: nice, small, local business; the ice cream is delicious and has a nice texture
CONS: poor quality control?, didn’t seem very bothered about bad product
