Will recommend Will return Visiting the area Use to purchase my smorgasbord caramel covered apples at a different location and that location closed after 20 years so I searched online to find a different location. Found this location online made a call to make sure that they have the type of apples that I was looking for the gentleman, said he did not have that one in particular, but he was willing to make it for me so he took down what I would like on my Apple. I placed the order in the very next day. My apple was freshly made in the morning and I was ready to pick it up My intention was to go into the store and get one apple but as soon as I walked in the store, it was very overwhelming with beautiful chocolates and my husband decided that he wanted a half pound box of chocolates. Everything was made by the owners. They are very nice and informative. Everything was very fresh and very flavorful . Our total came to about $35 very reasonable. The store was very clean very neat very organized and plenty to choose from read more

I was looking to buy some fudge for my father for Father's Day. I went to the chocolate mousse and they had a variety of different fudge. They're all individually wrapped so they stay fresh. Although I am not a fudge fan myself, my father and mother both loved it, said It was delicious. read more

I was looking for a box of chocolate covered strawberries as an anniversary gift. I stopped in at Chocolate Moose on a Saturday. They informed me they only make them on a per order basis since they use organic strawberries which would not last long in the counter. I was looking to have them for that following Monday, of which Chocolate Moose is normally closed. So it looked like I was out of luck. But the owners told me they would be happy to order and have them ready for me to pickup on Monday afternoon. As they are sometimes in the store for cleanup and prep for the coming week. Awesome!!! I pulled into the lot on Monday. The store looked closed. Just when I thought I might be out of luck, the owner opened the door and waved me in. I walked out a few minutes later with the box if chocolate strawberries. And then were absolutely delicious. Great Customer Service!!! read more

The guy was not the nicest fella.... great chocolate though, especially the apples they are fantastic.

Cute little candy and gift shop. I stopped in here on a hot sunny day to cool off and to check things out. The Chocolate Moose offers homemade chocolates (boxed & chosen from the display case), candy apples (numerous candy toppings to choose from), candies, baked goods, cards, gift sets, cool t-shirts, games, puzzles, jar goods, balloons, gift wrapping, and much more. A gift box of assorted chocolates runs around $15. Also, on the main downstairs level, they also have a cafe which serves ice cream treats, paninis, soups, hot dogs, coffee, bottled beverages, and cookies with a couple small tables and a TV. I got a big bowl (Papa Bear size) of Moose Tracks ice cream, vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate bars including peanut butter cups. Very refreshing! Although, the store is a bit cramped, I was pretty impressed with the shop offerings. I will be back again. It's a great and easy place to pick up small gifts, chocolates, and treats for the family and friends. Next time, I'll have to try the Pumpkin ice cream and pick up some candy apples. The staff is more than willing to help out if you have any questions. An overall 4.5 stars (rounding up to 5). read more

Awesome chocolate store with everything you could possibly imagine. It's a great place to get a gift and they even have gift bags and boxes, ribbons and cards! Highly recommended read more

To start, I have never been in there but always wanted to stop in! So, this Valentine's morning, BBB surprised me with the hub's help to a box of chocolates from here It was so sweet and also literally sweet! I have a sweet tooth especially for chocolate! We have finished half of the box, between BBB and I hehehe. BBB was all smiles and knew this was special to having all these yummy chocolates. The hub said he chocolate is made by them, and it is fantastic chocolate! I love how he went local instead of any of the giant chocolate companies too! The hub said they were great with BBB (under 3 yo) and treated him to a piece of chocolate I think I have a new favorite chocolate place! I just need to go in person! Thanks chocolate moose for having awesome chocolate that I got to share and enjoy on Valentine's Day! read more

Chocolate Moose - Just a small sample of what was in the box... Love that peanut one!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

The best homemade chocolate and very helpful owners. Lots of sugar free chocolate. They are opened everyday which makes it very convenient

I had first purchased this item back at Christmas and the recipient absolutely loved it so I ordered 4 more for Valentine's Day. I can't thank the owner's enough for making up the sugar free one's as well as the regular because the elderly lady who received hers was taken back by how beautiful and thoughtful this gift was. And my best friend who received the other one is an artist/ crafter and couldn't get over how beautiful these came out. The chocolate boxes with the fancy ribbons went to my elderly (86) mother's neighbor (83), and she cried because she hadn't received Valentine's chocolates since the death of her husband ten year's ago. Everything I've purchased at your wonderful store is always of the best quality and freshest ingredients. Don't get me gushing over the HUGE chocolate dipped apples, which are a feast to the eyes and tummy. They've gotten rave reviews from everyone I've given them to. I'm from Melrose, MA but will do all my candy shopping needs at your store because from the service to the product you are exceptional. read more

I'm updating my review and removing a star because the key to a great local business is being able to access that business. Unfortunately, the hours they keep are awful. I've stopped in to buy chocolate for my wife on 2-3 occasions and they've been closed. Once is a bummer, but 3 times is an issue and I will no longer waste time even trying to buy from them and instead head to Sweet Lydia's in downtown Lowell. They've never once been closed when I've headed there after The Chocolate Moose was closed. I suggest they hire someone for $10/hour and keep normal business hours. IF you stop by and they happen to be open you will be VERY pleased with the quality and their prices cannot be touched. Quality of chocolate is amazing - my wife loves everything they make. They are very polite, the chocolate is great and this is my go to place for all special occasions. You won't be disappointed, trust me! read more

I have never been to The Chocolate Moose. BUT, I have had their yummy candy. Our vendor brought them down to our office in CT and I have to say this candy is way better than our local chocolate.. The milk chocolate is so smooth and creamy without being overly sweet. I plan on making a trip up there myself to peruse their store in the near future. read more

This was the first time I have ever stopped in after driving by the shop almost daily. The owner was super friendly, the shop was super cute with lots of different chocolates and prices were very good. I will be stopping in again for some more yummy chocolates!!! read more

Chocolate Moose - a woman and two children on the beach - Candy Stores Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

This is a great locally-owned business. The owner is friendly and very helpful. The chocolate is excellent especially the mint patties.

A small store on Route 28 that specializes in NH made and featured products. Postcards, fudge, candy, syrup, salsas, jellies, toys and NH themed inventory just like the North Country in the summer. It's great for tourists or a gift for someone from here who may have moved away. read more

This is the cutest and most extensive chocolate store I've even stepped foot inside. The owners work the store and couldn't be more accomodating!! Wait til you see the chocolate candy and caramel covered apples they make on site. I stop in there for my Heath Bar Apple every time i am in Salem!! read more

Was nice. Saturday after Christmas. Buying another present there. Owners said they had a busy season. Kids said stuff great/excellent and would recommend. read more

Received a box of chocolates for Mother's Day. These are the very best! So good! Never heard of the store before but now I will buy my own boxes from them as a very special treat for myself and to give as gifts to others. read more

On Friday the 7,my boyfriend and I went to the 42nd New Hampshire RV show in Milford, NH. Although I had never been to the candy store, I was delighted when I saw The Chocolate Moose stand. I was craving some sweet... The presentation of the stand was mouth watering, and I went for the biggest chocolate chip cookie I had ever seen! At first, I thought the chocolate layer on top of the cookie was a bit too much, but I soon changed my mind once I tried it. The inside of the cookie was soft, ,moist and warm and the edges just crunch enough. In addition, they had coffee to follow the cookies which made that experience just perfect! The owner was very nice and patient with me, since I asked my cookie to be warmed. Although he was afraid to destroy the nice presentation, he agreed on warming my cookie little by little until it got to the temperature I wanted. Most important, the chocolate on the top was still intact! The lady at the stand was also very nice when helping me with the payment; which I assumed was his wife and co-owner! The cookie was so big that I left half for latter. As soon as I started to regret not getting their business card or information, I reached for the label. For my surprise, they where right nearby me, in Salem, NH, (I live in Methuen). By the way, I will be visiting the store this afternoon! Aurea B. read more

I have not been to their store yet, but I plan on it!! I was at a Holiday Fair in Wilmington and bought some of their little chocolate turtles filled with caramel...YUM!! They melt in your mouth, soooo delicious!! I thought the prices were good for the quality! I can't wait to try more of their yummy chocolates!!! 5 Stars all the way!!! read more

I love this place. i never have had anything but excellent candy. The dark chocolate is the best around. They are small but they have a great selection of candy & and chocolates. The owners are real helpful friendly people and i can't say enough about the store !! I LOVE IT !! read more

Service is not very good here. If you have young children stay away. Owners are very impatient with children. Store is very crowded and not alot of space to move around. Prices are kind of high as well. I will not be returning. read more

I agree with Steve P, worst customer service. I walked in and stood around for 5 min waiting to be helped. Some lady walks in and is immediately asked if she can be helped. I walked out and will never go back. Ill drive the extra 15 min to go to North Andover to get chocolate rather than go back here. read more

just called to find out if they had a certain candy before traveling over-VERY RUDE ON THE PHONE-did not know the name of the candy so started to describe it-literally on the phone for 4 seconds and the person who answered cut me off and said I am busy just get to the point. Many other candy stores out there will spend my money where I am appreciated as a customer-CAN NOT BELIEVE I WAS SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT! read more

I won a candy basket from here once and was so impressed with the way it looked that I have been buying gift baskets from here ever since as closing gifts for my clients who purchase new homes. Nancy makes the baskets and put the most beautiful bows on them I have ever seen. She customizes each one based on what I tell her about my clients and no 2 are ever aloke. It is always a delight to see what she has created for me and my clients really love them. It's a great way to give a special thank you to someone. read more
