They make all the chocolates in house and they also have some vintage chocolate moulding. The lady was pleasant to interact and very good customer service skills.

You should not missed any Candle stores when visiting PA. Visiting this kind of store does not…read morenecessarily mean that you would only see candles, they offer more than that. This brand store has huge location. It's offers candies, snacks, ice creams, desserts, decorations, mementos, souvenirs, Knick knacks and many more. It opens up a jewelry section with Pandora selections at one corner. It has a boutique inside with fabulous displays both for men's and womens fashion wear. An interesting gift shop is laid out at the end before exciting the store. What a fantastic way of completing the visit. I enjoyed my visit here. I would definitely returning if ever around the area.

From the candle factory on the premises to the Yankee Candle section, from the candy section to the specialty wines, from the Christmas and Halloween displays to the Country decor and Jim Shore art, there is much to see and to purchase including Pandora jewelry and Brighton. We make it part of our itinerary everytime we visit! You will love it!

They have all of the candies and the weird sodas. It's a great candy store…read more But the most important thing (to me) is that they have jelly bellies where you can buy individual flavors by weight. Much like former president Jimmy Carter, I love jelly bellies so much... but actually only about 14 out of the 49 standard flavors. So I hate buying bags of jelly bellies from the store, especially since the company is charging for them like they're gold bars. I went to Macy's the other day and they were selling the 2lb bag for $30! Like maybe we should start setting the U.S. dollar on the jelly belly standard. But I digress. The point is that you can buy jelly bellies here, but only the ones that you want.

There were even international candies! It is located on Main Street so there is street parking available. We treated ourselves to dessert so they serve Hershey's Ice Cream which was yum! They are known for their $5 candy buffet. Service was friendly. This store is every kids dream! Worth a stop if you're in town.

They have the classic stuff like root beer and birch beer and then offer cotton candy and pickle soda. The train going around overhead took me back to my childhood. The $5 candy box has always been a favorite of mine since I first visited the strip district location years ago. The staff was turning the store over from Halloween to Christmas when we visited but were still friendly and welcoming.

On our trip back to NY from visiting my daughter in camp yesterday, my younger daughter spotted…read morethis "sweet" little candy shop so we decided to stop in. Opened in December of last year, the beautiful displays of gift baskets, assorted candy and cookies are a such a welcoming and pretty sight as you enter the store. The candy and cookies are not homemade, but you will recognize several of the brand names that they do carry, such as: Jelly Bean, Mrs. Prindables, Corso's Cookies, The Popcorn Factory, Lindt, Ferrero, Godiva, Ghiradelli, Hammond's Candies and several other favorites. There are pre-made baskets filled with goodies to celebrate Birthdays, a New Baby, Religious occasions, Get Well Soon, etc., but they can also custom make any other basket that you ask for. The section my daughter immediately ran to was where an entire wall was filled to the brim with many different types of chocolates and jelly beans you could possibly imagine. There are bags to the side that you fill with these delights which sell for $8.95 a pound. My daughter chose the malted milk balls and minature peanut butter cups. We took 1/2 pound of each. The chocolate is so fresh and delicious, I am very surprised there was any left by the time we got home. This is a great store to visit - definitely stop in if you're in the area and satisfy that sweet tooth! I shall be returning!!

I stopped by Eats & Sweets just before closing on a Saturday night, in search of a sweet treat…read moreafter a full day of adventuring. The menu here is HUGE--everything from hot foods to ice cream pies to traditional ice creams, sundaes, and shakes. I had my eye on the Ice Cream Flight (how fun is that?!) but ultimately went with a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a cherry. It was the perfect way to ease into pumpkin spice season--smooth, creamy, not too thick or too runny, and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor without being overpowering. The total came to $9.06, which feels a little steep for a milkshake, but not outrageous for a seasonal specialty. The ice cream quality was solid, and the staff was friendly, though service felt a bit slow given how few customers were there compared to how many staff were on. Overall: Good ice cream, a fun menu, and worth a stop if you're in the area--just be prepared for prices that can add up quickly if you're treating the whole family.

We came here after a stay at Great Wolf and wanting one last treat before hitting the road. The…read morestore front is very pretty but sadly very little parking, so we had to wait for someone to get out in order to order. This sounds silly but because it's a busy highway, there was no where else to park for us to order. As for the ice cream itself, I just thought it was ok. We got these HUGE scoops which at first seemed amazing, but the ice cream itself was just alright. My husband ordered a salted caramel flavor that tasted really off, like too sweet and not salted at all. This is his favorite flavor and we have ordered it in so many places and it's never this overly caramel-ly. I got a chocolate that was not very rich and just tasted like a Wendy's blizzard. I wish that for the price the ice cream would've been better. Otherwise, the store itself is very cute and clean. The customer service was also good, so maybe it was just an off day for the ice cream.

Boxes of chocolates covered cherries regular $16.95 marked down to $4.25, boxes of peanut clusters regular $14.99 marked down $3.75. Service was excellent and I saved nice amount of money. Came out happy. Here is the history of Gertrude Hawk Chocolates: The company was started by Gertrude Jones Hawk in 1936. Hawk began her career at the age of 12 after the death of her father. She took a job in a candy shop and later began making chocolates in the kitchen of her home in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Following World War II, her son Elmer Hawk invested his service pay in the fledgling business enabling the family to purchase mechanical chocolate making equipment. The family also used their products in fundraising sales through area churches and schools. In 1959, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation took Gertrude's home for an Interstate 81 bridge. The family bought a piece of land in Dunmore, Pennsylvania and built a factory there that opened in 1962. In addition to the factory, the building housed a full-service restaurant and a retail area. The restaurant was converted into a candy shop in 1973. In 1988, the company constructed the Gertrude Hawk Corporate Center. The company is now a $90 million annual business with four divisions. It employs over 1,000 people and operates 75 Gertrude Hawk Chocolates Chocolate Shops throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.

Cute local chocolate store based in Pennsylvania! Lots of unique designs and flavors…read more I love fresh chocolate displayed behind glass. I always go for the white chocolates and my favorite is definitely white chocolate covered pretzel. Very delicious! As for something better than chocolate? It's definitely Ice-Cream! They also serve hand dipped vanilla ice cream bars in your choice of vanilla, milk, or dark chocolate and add on the topping of your choice which are sprinkles, peanuts, and coconut flakes. Their vanilla Ice-Cream dipped in milk chocolate and peanuts is delicious! A hint of salty ness reminds me of the sea salt chocolate flavors. Perfect texture and crunch! I will definitely come back. The lady who prepared my order also wrapped it in wax paper and placed it in the freezer for a few minutes to prevent it from dripping. Very worth it for $4. I would get this everyday if I lived near one.
