Riverside Chocolate Factory - McHenry, Illinois

Be P. W.

I have stopped there a third time to see if I get a better taste of dark chocolate and I got attracted by a sing that said Dubai Sundae ice cream with fresh strawberries. Their chocolate has never stand up in line of dark chocolate. Everything is packed with tone of extra sugar and way overpriced . Pretzel stick with Carmel $10.99 in plastic bag (way too much ).
Dubai sundae was the most obsessively disgusting and obsessively sweet ice cram I ever ate. The amount of of sugar will literally cause your body damage. Ice cream it self tasted like vanilla ice cream just super sweet ,it has some sweet pistachio paste all around it and then extremely honey sweet little crispy things you make baclava from . Then it had strawberries on top and extra sweet thick layer of milk chocolate and whip cream. I would say sugar count probably 10K . It’s $12 and literally not edible. I ate a dubai chocolate downtown and it was so dog .
Dubai ice was way,way too sweet and after 4 spoons it went to garbage

Stopped here after visiting Stade’s farm. Got some delicious caramel apples 🍎 but the highlight for me was the freshly dipped frozen banana. I had dark chocolate with roasted peanuts 🥜 oh em gee. So amazing !

Just walking in itself is a treat! I've had to pass here many times and finally decided to check it out and I sure am glad I did! The selection and unique chocolate they make are amazing, the taste is unbelievable, so good! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Against the better wishes of my dentist I will be stopping here each time I pass by!!

It's always a pleasure to visit the Riverside Chocolate Factory. Every employee I've met here is so helpful, kind, and patient.

It's amazing seeing all the rows of different candy and the awesome chocolates and fudge they make in house. If you get a chance to stop in I would get a sampler of a few different flavors of fudge to try and something from the chocolate case like the toffee. They have a great selection of both milk and dark chocolate as well.

Had a few questions about their products and got answers quickly. Nice staff, good product. I bought a gift box of assorted chocolates and later the receiver shared it with, the flavors were really odd. The mint flavor from one of the chocolates in the box seemed really strong and spread to every chocolate too. Prices seemed a little high, but not too bad. I'll be back when I go through the neighborhood. I've had other great experiences with them, and don't consider this one bad experience the normal.

They offer all the chocolate goodies one can image. Their goodies may be a bit more on the expensive side , but once you get a taste , it’s totally worth it . I personally love their Chocolate covered strawberries . They’re so good that even my kitty tries to take a nibble from them from time to time 😂. I also love their chocolate covered gummy bears and the pecan ice cream they sell. Highly recommend this place ☺️ !

Small section featuring "Old Time" candy which brought back many childhood memories
