“Are You My Candy Girl?” Yes—Annette Pardun is in Brookfield!

This March 2025, Fill My Jar is celebrating a sweet milestone—10 years in business! What began as a small home-based passion project has blossomed into a beloved local shop known for its handcrafted, small-batch candies and creative flavors. Located at 3726 Prairie Avenue in Brookfield, IL, our storefront is also marking four years of welcoming candy lovers from near and far.

After raising three daughters, I discovered my true calling in the kitchen. Launching this business later in life has been a journey fueled by passion, creativity, and a whole lot of sugar. At Fill My Jar, we specialize in unique, one-of-a-kind flavors made with mostly natural ingredients—each piece thoughtfully crafted with the kind of care only a mother could give.

Whether you’re nostalgic for a classic treat or craving something adventurous, our candies are made with love and designed to spark joy. Fill My Jar is where creativity meets quality—one sweet bite at a time.
