We were back in town last week and made a bee-line to Oliver's and filled our cravings for fudge, sponge candy, peanut brittle and of course a stop at the ice cream stand inside. It was a chance to recall fond memories while also thankful that the establishment is still here and still the best. If you are driving by Batavia on the Thruway I'd recommend a stop here.

They have all different kinds of candy, not just limited to chocolate. Like I said, they are expensive, but I think that goes with any specific candy store. I wanted to buy so many things in there, but did not have the money to do it. If you've never been in there, go and look around, have a Sunday, sit down and relax, and it's nice air conditioning.
