Score
Public records show 20 inspections at Margie's Candies — Margies's Candies stretching back to 2013. On Apr 14, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near one violation per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
