Used to be good. But now it's just over priced nasty candy. I actually heard the old lady behind the counter say chocolate is good for at least two years. Makes me wonder just how old all that candy is. I doubt it's highly trafficked anymore. In my opinion it's a major rip off and not worth the stop. Go anywhere else. The women running it are sloppy as well. Not very presentable and certainly unprofessional. ETA: heard recently from a friend that she bought hollow chocolate bunnies and her kids found MAGGOTS inside them. Gross!!!!! Another ETA: A relative of mine walked in to attempt to get candy for Valentine's Day. She was so incredibly grossed out by the smell of smoke and absolute filth in this place. Dirty candy molds, old crap everywhere and the office looked like a hoarder lived in it. The lady behind the counter was moving so slow no one was checked out in the 5 minutes she gave it and in that 5 min is when she made the observations and left. How has this place not gotten shut down?! read more

We took an hour & a half trip to visit this store, hoping it would be as wonderful as the now closed Paramus location store was. What a disappointment. The women working in the store were not only unfriendly, but flat out rude. The store is unorganized, and the selection of chocolate is poor. The quality of the chocolate is nowhere near to that of the Paramus store. We will never take the ride again. Go somewhere else. read more

From the minute we parked the car and I saw the mold growing on the awning, I knew this was a bad choice. Also, a fallen down aluminum Christmas tree that has seen better days, was laying on the porch. Why? This is April. As I climbed the steps I told my husband get back in the car. But too late, he was ready to go in and check it out. The door to a "back" room was open. Don't know what they do in there, but it was dirty. We took 5 steps in and left. Even the sales person was not really presentable. We found another shop in another shop in a nearby town that really puts hanna krause in Toms River to shame!! read more

My first visit today, I've always wanted to stop in, I was looking for the best Salt Water Taffy and found it there. The smell of chocolate hits you as soon as you walk in the store. What a pleasant surprise. The owner and staff are very friendly and of course knowledgeable due to the fact it will be owned and operated by them for 40yrs next August. All chocolates are made by the Krause family. I love dark chocolate and theirs was perfect, so many unique chocolate covered varieties, its hard to chose. The fudge was very creamy and doesn't leave you with the feel of a sugar bomb going off in your mouth but rather a rich, silky texture of yumminess. My boxes were wrapped to be given as gifts and I was very happy with the experience. Can't wait to return. read more

Me and three others saw this candy shop on the way back from Seaside Heights. It was 6:15pm on a Sunday when we pulled in and saw that they close at 3pm on Sundays. Before we could get back in the car, a man came up to us and told us to wait as he would have his wife open the shop. We protested that he didn't have to do that but he was already gone and two minutes later we were entering the store. As soon as the shop's door was opened the most wonderful smell of chocolate hit us. It smelled amazing! The store was packed with home made fudge, a wide variety of chocolates, taffy and more. We spent over 20 minutes in the store as the owner, Gail, shared story after amazing story with us. The recipes used to make these delicious treats have been passed down through her husband's family for 100 years. We wound up buying several types of fudge and a variety of chocolate and they were all great. One of my friends said the marzipan was to die for and another said the taffy was excellent. Don't waste your time and money buying chocolate and taffy on the boardwalk. This is the real deal! read more

Gail is the wonderful person that took my order over the phone. My friend has a wedding this weekend and I wanted to send a special gift from the west coast for all to enjoy. Well, Gail helped me select a wonderful present to make the happy day a special occasion. Customer service. Excellent. Attention to detail cannot get better. Do you want a company to send a gift across the country or next street, call Hanna Krause in Toms River and you will be happy and your special person will also be in amazement. This is your best selection to ensure your special occasion will be memorable. Enjoy and you can rest assured this person getting the gift will be extremely satisfied. read more

The gal working was super nice and helpful. The chocolate was delicious but a bit pricey.

The best chocolate I have ever had in my life. Well worth the stop, well worth the trip one of the last of homemade candies, even the salt water taffy's are theirs. The salt water taffy's are much different than what you would get at the boardwalk and so much better. Just got some for my brother and got chocolate covered strawberries for a friend read more

By far the best chocolate around. Chocolate covered Oreos are to die for!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else for my chocolate needs

The place is a dump both outside and inside but the chocolate is absolutely world class.

The chocolate dipped strawberries are the best you will ever have along with others goodies at the store. It's nice to have a hometown candy do close and in our town of Toms River. If they ever move so will I. Lol read more

Had ordered ahead to have chocolate strawberry's made fresh dipped same day for gifts. The feedback they gave me "phenomenal" and "outstanding" was what they told me. read more

One of those old time candy stores that has everything you remember and still want to have again. All fresh candy and you can smell it as soon as walk in the door. Not much to look at from the outside but lots of great stuff inside. We got a variety of candy and chocolates for post vacation gifts and it was all welcomed and delicious read more

Went there with my mom and children (ages 9 and 5). The store is very small, dark and dingy. It was an awful and shocking experience. A store employee (maybe she was an owner) accused my daughter of stealing. She came in from the back of the store and told me that her security company called and they saw my daughter taking her hands in and out of her pockets. She was 9! I immediately asked my daughter if she stole something and searched her pockets in front of the employee. Nothing in them!!! My children do NOT steal. We were shocked and she did not apologize. We left the store purchasing about $70 in Easter candy. I was so dumbfounded, I should have told her to take the candy and shove it. Every time I pass the store I regret giving them any business. It was a horrible experience for my child. Do NOT buy anything from this place...the customer experience is beyond bad and the candy is average at best. read more
