I was a customer here one time during the grand opening of their ice-cream shop in May 2026. First, I shopped in their chocolate store. An employee kindly greeted me and told me about a 50%-off clearance. I felt surprised that many shelves were empty and that they had much Easter candy in stock. I selected a 24-piece box of assorted milk chocolates and one raisin cluster for a total of about $19. Later I ate these chocolates at home and rate them as 4.5 stars. During my visit, I also ordered an Egg Carton Ice Cream Sampler that consisted of my choice of six flavors of Perry's ice creams for $13 plus a tip. Perry's Ice Cream is a family-owned ice-cream manufacturer in New York. Clark Candies's menu listed 11 flavors of premium ice creams, 1 flavor of sherbet, and 2 dairy-free flavors as well as sundaes, cool pops, and more. I ate the Bourbon Caramel Pecan, Cookie Dough, Mint-Ting-a-Ling, Peanut Butter S'mores, Rainbow, and Super Hero, and I really enjoyed them. I appreciated that covered outdoor seating was available, and it protected us pretty well from the rainy weather. I recommend Clark Candies for sweet treats for yourself, gifts for others, and for fundraisers.

The attention to detail, the craftsmanship, and the quality of each exquisite piece really stand out. Every chocolate in the box was beautiful, delicious, and made with obvious care.

Our whole team kept saying the same thing: these are some of the best chocolates we've ever had. If you're looking for a gift that truly impresses--or just want to treat yourself--this candy company is a gem. Highly recommend Valos Chocolate!

Prices are very affordable. I can't wait to come back!

Candy, candy, candy!…read more I think it's great when a town has a place that makes their own sweets. But that's not all they do here. They are a fully functioning candy store. Set up kind of like one of those in a mall, but better. Of course I had myself a bag and filled it with all the essential candy one may chew on. Sour patch kids, chewy Sprees, gummy worms, Swedish fish, and the list goes on and on. They also have packages of candy too. No need to mix and match if that's not your thing. They make their own chocolates, and the display case inside was filled with very delightful items. I was tempted to ask for one of each, but I was able to keep myself in check. There are already packaged chocolates so you can just grab and go. If you want a certain mix of chocolates they are more than happy to oblige.

This is an odd sort of review, because the only chocolates I've eaten from here were the ones she tutored us to create. And...well...they were magnificent. So rewinding a bit... I was looking for gift idea for SB. A friend at work pointed me to a link to a listicle or PG article about a chocolate making class. I'd never heard of it before. Completely in the weeds. When I went to A519's webpage, it was not intuitively obvious to me where I could go to sign up. BUT...it's listed under "products"...https://shop.a519chocolate.com/products/private-truffle-making-class There...I made a link for you. If you love chocolate, or you love someone who loves chocolate, this class was really fantastic. It broke down a bit like this...(2 hours) 1) Introductions/qualifications/backstory (5 minutes) 2) Presentation about cacao to chocolate...bean to bar. Terminology, taste, geography (10-15 minutes) 3) Tasting...taste various types of "raw materials" used to make chocolate truffles, white chocolate, dulce, milk chocolate, various percentages of dark chocolate up to 85% (20 - 30 minutes) 4) Making chocolates (the remainder) Informative, entertaining, delicious, and satisfying. It's a working kitchen, but doesn't take up a ton of space, so a six person class can be a bit cramped, but not uncomfortably so. There was plenty of space for each couple to follow instructions and hands-on. We first decorated molds using cocoa butter sprinkles (a la Jackson Pollock), then painted with an air brush, then made ganache and tempered chocolate and poured and scraped, cooled and broke molds, each couple taking home 24 BEAUTIFUL truffles. SB likes 'experience gifts', and this one was a great experience for us both. And the truffles WE made were amazing, so I can't imagine how good the ones Amanda (owner/chef) produces would be. Strongly encourage (think: valentine's day gift).

They recently opened a pop up shop in central Lawrenceville which will be open through Feb 2018. When I arrived I met Amanda Wright's husband who is in charge of the shop. Chocolate truffles come in different size boxes and are very expensive. You can still order from Amanda either on-line or call her shop where she produces them if you are unable to come out. Boxes range anywhere from two to a box for $4.00 to about fifteen in a box for $30.00. Although they are grouped by category such as caramels, you are permitted to mix and match to your liking. I decided to opt for a champagne filled truffle and a dark chocolate one. They were box very nicely and I ate them when I got home. Believe me as always they are to die for! These chocolates are to be savored. Wine pairing also helps you enjoy the flavors better. I don't mind have to shelve out a little extra cash when I know something is extra special and believe me I have never been disappointed in any or their high end chocolates. If you are able to get to central Lawrenceville during the holiday season this place is a must if you want to get some of the best candy in the city. Amanda can also custom design a box using sports teams or beautiful art. This makes a great gift for someone who is indeed a chocolate lover.
