I decided to make a little road trip to Abdollah Candies on my way to bingo at Treasure Island and…read morealthough it was a bit out of the way, it was completely worth it. I could not believe how big the store was. There is so much variety and such a wide selection of both candy and gift items. The candy is incredible. They feature a candy of the month and even offer samples. While we were there, we tried a truffle with raspberry in the center and it was really good. One of my favorite finds was tucked in the back corner...kind of a hidden gem. They have marked down candy that does not quite meet their quality standards. It might look a little different or vary in size, but it still tastes the same. Totally worth checking out. We picked out a variety to bring to bingo including butter toffee, sea sale caramel, peanut butter cups, and a pecan cluster. Everything was delicious. The store itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, and it smelled amazing from the second we walked in. My only callout is that the employees were not especially friendly. We did visit about 45 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a role, but it was not the warm welcome I had expected. So much so that I felt weird taking photos (which is reflected here). All in all, still a really fun stop and absolutely worth the trip.

Masterpiece Chocolates is a fairly new store that focuses on making high quality chocolates with either local or sustainable sourced ingredients. The assorted truffles we sampled were all of very good quality. I especially liked their Raspberry Truffle, it had a bright and fresh berry pop with each bite. Turns out the raspberries are locally sourced from their own backyard garden. They have a standard menu as well as a few rotating feature flavors to choose from. They are still a pretty small operation so hours are somewhat limited but well worth the trip to try out the chocolates! A lot of love goes into their products and you can taste it!

They had a special for $26 for 30 lollipops. If you have never had a See's lollipop, they are better than any lollipop you have ever had. Super rich and creamy and flavorful. They have a lot more flavors than they had when I was a kid. There was only chocolate and caramel and butterscotch when I was a kid. Now they have flavors like sugar free stuff, coffee, vanilla, just too many to name. They are so wonderful. The lady at the checkout was very nice and we even got a few samples of a chocolate coconut piece of candy when we went in. See's was a big thing in California, so I am glad to see some in Minnesota.

I did end up getting the wedding cake cupcake. It was okay. The cupcake itself is a bit dry and the frosting is not sweet (the baker did warn me). I quite enjoyed the lemon filling but don't know if I'd be returning due to the flavor. They do offer treats for dogs so that's a win! They also have macaroons and non cupcake treats. It is very quiet and clean inside, great for an intimate conversation or study session. Glad I was finally able to try this place!

I was immediately offered a gingerbread chocolate as a free sample. I thanked the woman and continued to browse as I savoured it. Another woman came up to me and offered a sample. "Do you normally give out more than one sample?" I asked her. "No. Did you get one?" she asked me. "Yes, which would explain my answer," I replied. "Oh, I didn't know," she replied. I knocked off a star in my rating for a lack of communication between staff members handling samples. If I weren't so honest, I would have inhaled two gingerbread chocolates. Not horrible, but it wouldn't sit well with me. At the rate that they are going at, they could slowly lose their inventory with dishonest moochers. They need to give the impression that they know what they are doing. I was so happy to see no-sugar-added chocolates. I bought a few of them to taste-test. They were yummy. They were also sold by weight, so it can add up if you feel like getting a pound of chocolates. I went to pay for my items. I didn't know that Lindt has a rewards program, so I signed up for it. I used a credit card to pay for my purchase. Done! Even though a bought a small bag of chocolates, I brought some of them back to Markham. Still yummy. Still deadly. No complaints here. If I am craving chocolate, it's worth dropping by this Lindt store. If you feel like getting more than one free sample, I'm sure that you can get away with it! (468)
