Chocolate covered strawberries
Wes K.

Mahalo Hawaiian Paradise Candies for the nice chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my wife's workplace on Valentine's Day! She really enjoyed them.

Chocolate covered Oreo cookies

Easy and delicious party favors at a descent price! Ordered 40 chocolate covered fortune cookies for a surprise party and they turned out great. The ordering process was easy. I placed my order through their website and received a reply a few days later with confirmation. You can choose from a variety of pre-made designs that could work perfectly for a first birthday, anniversary, 60th birthday, graduation, etc. They also give the option of adding a cute personalized label inside, which was free and I paid on the day of pickup. I've also ordered the chocolate covered Oreo cookies before...and those were delicious as well! They're located right on S School Street near the Pali Hwy exit. There's parking right in front of their building, which made it easy for quick pick up. If you're looking for easy and delicious party favors, Hawaiian Paradise Candies is the place to go!

Chocolate Covered Oreos

Anybody can make chocolate covered Oreo's, but nothing compares to the fudgey, cakey goodness that came out of Hawaiian Paradise candies! We are from the south, so we are used to custom sweets, but these blew us out of the water! No chocolatier on the island can craft treats like this couple. Mahalo for your Ono (yummy) deserts. Be back soon !

If you're looking for customized fortune cookies that actually taste good - this is the place! I have a friend who lives around the corner from this business and for the life of me, cannot remember the name! So I have resorted to calling her to find out what is around her corner. The name and owners have changed but the location remains the same (I had ordered cookies here many years ago but it wasn't HPC - I believe it was Kona Paradise then). I am assuming the past owners sold the lot and business. The storefront is confusing as hell and but parking is easy (assuming there are no other customers other than you). There is no signage to indicate that there is an actual business until you are actually at the store's front door. This is located on school street - next to the Chevron gas station. Like I said, no signage but look for a house with a wide open carport - park there and ring the doorbell. The interior of HPC has changed from what I remembered it to be. Gone are the displays of candy, cookies and samples and in it's place is a tiny, makeshift room with a sofa, coffee table and a few shelves with product. I called my order in and emailed back and forth with the owner (I'm sorry to say that I've forgotten the name). But the rapport was completely professional and even when I made changes to the fortune cookie insert I was assured that those changes would be implemented. I did I not have to come in to pay or place a deposit for my order but was simply told, "oh, you can pay for your order when you pick it up." That's unheard of for many businesses that deal with customized orders. I loved it since it saved me a trip to town. I had ordered 50 chocolate covered fortune cookies with a personalized message inside. It was $1.50 each for the order and although I know I can get it cheaper at other places, the cookies here are tastier and slightly bigger than those cheaper ones. Each fortune cookie was wrapped individually in clear plastic bags with their logo on it. I'm sure if I had the time to be creative, I could've asked them not to seal the bags and I could've tied it with a coordinating color that compliments the event but since I was pressed for time I went with their packaging all together. The cookie was a huge hit at this event since it was a giveaway/treat at a Chinese Restaurant for a private party. Loved the customer service and the product! Will definitely be bringing my business back here many times in the future.

My Spam Jam 2019 haul. This was the only booth I spent money at.

Their chocolate-dipped spam Spam Jam 2019 exclusives were kind of gross and expensive. A bag of 5 half-slices of spam that aren't even fully dipped in chocolate was $5 and they tasted like a rawhide dog chew treat dipped in chocolate. I guess if you want to kill your dog (chocolate in high doses can be lethal to dogs), this would be the way it would want to go. 1 star. Update: ran into some people who had also bought some but were afraid of it, lol. OTOH, their butters and jams are good. 5 stars. At Spam Jam their booth had samples of all of them (but not of the chocolate-dipped spam - maybe they knew no one would want to buy them if they tasted them, lmao). My favorites are the lilikoi (passionfruit) butter and Kona coffee butter. The jams are good but I don't mind living with the Hawaiian Sun lilikoi jam I can get back home. Wish we could get the pineapple jam at home too. 1 plus 5 divided by 2 is a 3 but that weights a single limited run item too high so they can have a 4. It was awesome of them to provide all those samples. It encouraged me to buy more as I wasn't afraid of getting a whole jar of something I ended up not liking. Wonder if they do that in-store normally or if that was just at the festival.

Ordered here years ago for work and recently ordered again. Forgot how great this place really is!! & the items are all so yummy & beautifully decorated!! Definitely a great place to get items for any occasion!!

So cute and customized

This is the 2nd time I've used paradise candies for favors. 1st was for my wedding and after that great experience of course I had to use them again. I ordered 60 chocolate dipped fortune cookies customized for my dads 60th birthday party. The cookies are pretty big and taste delicious. The price is awesome. It came out to about $130 for 60 customized cookies which is way cheaper than going to big island candies or Honolulu cookie company. The service is very helpful and efficient. They reply to emails in a couple of days and make the process painless and easy. Planning a party or wedding can be stressful so the little things can make a huge difference. They are a bit hard to find but I use google maps for everything due to my lack of direction so I suggest you do the same. Looking forward to my next event or if I'm lucky sometimes they set up in Pearlridge so I can get my cookie/candy fix!

Fortune cookie half dipped in chocolate.  Very generous with the chocolate and it was a thick layer.
Annie K.

Easy to contact and they are responsive to email messages. I ordered 100 plain fortune cookies with a personalized message/fortune. I also bought some half-dipped chocolate fortune cookies as my own snack. They are very generous with the chocolate coating. The fortune cookie is a good size. It is also very crunchy and tasty. Perfect party favors, affordable, and I like that it's family-run instead of a big chain/company.

$1.75 each

Thanks to my co-worker, who has used Hawaiian Paradise Candies for several events, I was able to order delicious, customized favors for my wedding! Their website is thorough where you can view all their different offerings. I decided to order the large chocolate dipped fortune cookie. It's about the size of my palm (but then again I am petite) and dipped in their signature mix of dark and milk chocolate! They even print out customized messages which they insert into the fortunate cookie for your guest to find (for free, yes, FREE!) The more you order, the cheaper the price is per order. They have a vast selection of designs for the fortunate cookie and contacting them via email is effortless! I made my order online 2 weeks in advance. They emailed me immediately and confirmed all the details. Then, just two days before the wedding, my husband went to their small store to pick up the individually cello wrapped fortunate cookies and paid (they accept cash or check)! Their chocolate dipped fortunate cookies are both personally customized and delicious too! I suggest ordering all your gift giving needs from Hawaiian Paradise Candies. They're a locally owned business too.

Chocolate covered fortune cookies for my sister's graduation came out perfect.
Alana S.

Absolutely amazed by how good not only the products are here but the service as well! They were so accommodating and I loved the family atmosphere here! They were quick, professional and went above and beyond my expectations and gave me everything I asked for and more! My chocolate covered fortune cookies not only taste delicious but were affordable as well as completely personalized. Individually wrapped and ready to go before I got there! Rich and his family will forever have my business there whenever I need party favors or just a sweet pick me up! EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO HERE.

Momi Dolce's owner and confectioner is Michelle Serota who is from Brazil and she brings her tradition to Hawai'i. She sells her brigadeiros (pronounced "Bree-gah-day-ro") by 4-pack or 6-pack. Her featured flavors are: -Dark chocolate -Crunchy chocolate with cacao nibs -Coconut (white chocolate) -Passion fruit or lilikoi (white chocolate) -Kauai coffee -Almond All of the flavors are intense but balanced by the premium chocolate and condensed milk used in making them. I suppose one could compare them to ganache that is used in making chocolate truffles. These brigadeiros are creamy and fudge-like though it melts smoothly as you might pop them in your mouth. The good thing about Momi Dolce is that Michelle can be reached online so you don't have to wait for her appearance at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. You can thank me later... Obrigado!

Thank you Choco Le'a for bringing peace to the world, one chocolate at a time. Seriously, we all need this!

Parking can be challenging, in fact, super challenging. We went on a Saturday (the only day we…read morecould go) and there was no street parking. We saw some people illegally parked on the street right on the corner, but they didn't care, they would brave a citation just for these amazing treats! I am sure the neighbors who live across from this place think this is a massive headache, to have such a popular chocolate place right in their own neighborhood - either that, or a blessing, since they can just walk right across! There are 4 tiny stalls in the driveway in the front of the Doggie Bakery and this place, but it looks far too challenging to get in and out and onto the main street, which is insanely busy on a weekend. We parked in the neighboring lot and purchased something from another business just so we could get some chocolates here. If the parking situation were better, I'd come back. I purchased the Hokkaido Soft Serve (weekends only, I think), it was delicious but I was expecting more fatty mouthfeel for something that was labeled as "Hokkaido". It was lighter than I was expecting. The chocolates, on the other hand, were fabulous and worth every, expensive, penny. By the way, who the heck nowdays says "worth every penny"? Probably old folks like me who knew what a penny was, and now due to inflation and the Federal Reserve nixxing the penny, it's probably worth 0.0012 cents now. Rainbow Shave Ice - it really does taste like shave ice! I came here mainly for this, as I've heard the hype and the hype is real! Hibiki Whisky Chocolate - nice and lovely. Dubai Chocolate - with gold leaf and everything. The Dubai craze is insane. This was good, but the least of my favorites. Six chocolates + one soft serve = $30.

Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I don't really have a sweet tooth-I'm a no icing, no frosting kind of girl. I wouldn't dream of eating a cinnamon roll with icing, that's a no for me. But their donuts are delicious all the same and can definitely scratch the itch if you do have a sweet tooth. As someone who's vegan, it can be hard to find a dessert I actually feel good about, and this is one of those places. Everything is taro-based and cooked in coconut oil, which I really appreciate. Just a heads up-all of their donuts are taro donuts. The flavors come from the toppings, so if you see something like a strawberry one, the donut itself isn't strawberry--it's the topping. Their offerings change, ( they do have their core donuts that don't change-and I usually go for one "naked"--no glaze. Sometimes I'll get the honey and sea salt one. Right now they have a seasonal donut called Black Sabbath that's black sesame, brûléed banana. Every time I've been in, I'm greeted right away, and there's plenty of free parking. They get your order out super quick. If you don't want a whole donut--or you're eating in your car and don't want to make a mess--their little donuts called Holeys are the perfect pop-in-your-mouth option. The place has always be well kept and clean - and they have a very spacious, and equally as clean, bathroom. They also have an app where you can check the menu, keep track of your rewards, and manage gift cards, which makes it really convenient. Also, if you're not signed up for their rewards program, do it. You're basically passing up free donuts if you don't. Give them a go, share your experience and if your taste buds celebrated. SYOY!
