    Winter wonderland entrance
    Julie F.

    The company is one of Florida's largest producers of chocolates. It was privately owned for sometime. And has been hosting holiday displays for quite awhile. And in December 2013, Hoffman's Chocolates was purchased by BBX Capital Corporation. Since the purchase, there have been some changes. Some new locations have been opened.(one in downtown Lake Worth opened and closed before the acquisition) . The main location in Greenacres has remained open and is somewhat of a landmark. They've expanded and added on an ice cream parlor. One of the more popular items that my mom's friends always used to buy there as gifts were their chocolate covered pretzels. It was the go to place whenever you needed to get a house warming or hostess gift. I'd been meaning to go to their Christmas holiday display for a number of years. But finally decided this was the year. I figured if we went early, we'd be fine. As it turned out, even late on a Saturday night, they were packed. They had people directing you to the back parking lots. The parking was free, but quite a distance away for older folks or young kids to walk. The winter wonderland area was a lot of colorful lights with Santa's, reindeer, a huge Christmas tree, nativity scene, and the like. There were ample photo ops for the family, too. Plus they had a wreath competition by various organizations. They give you tickets on entry to vote for your favorite one. There were also a couple companies with booths handing out information in exchange for their sponsorship. Entry to the winter wonderland portion is free. Up front was an ice skating rink area sponsored by the panthers. It's made with real ice. There is a charge for that (I think $15 which includes skate rental) with monies going to the panthers foundation. We watched some of the kids (trying to) skate. In the shop you could purchase chocolates of all kinds. Some of it is quite pricy. But they did have lollipops and individual pieces if you just wanted a taste and not a half pound or pound box. The biggest lines were for ice cream as it was a very warm evening. This event runs through December 30th. But you can always come visit the shop any other time to buy chocolates... and after the wonderland event is over, you can schedule a factory tour.

    Hoffman's Chocolate Factory is a must around the holidays! I come here every year to see their Christmas light display and I was pleasantly surprised this year. They added a ton of additional lights and displays that made this an experience to remember. My niece absolutely loved it and had a blast running around looking at all the wonders they had. They also usually have Santa and Mrs. Claus with a big, beautiful velour couch that is great for photo ops! They also have a wreath contest this year as well, which are created by some wonderful foundations such as Habitat for Humanity and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. In addition to the Christmas display, they also have ice skating. It's fun for kids because let's be real- how often can you ice skate in Florida?! Their actually chocolate shoppe is pretty amazing too. You can see them making the chocolate so it's entertaining for little ones. They have preboxed chocolate, freshly made chocolate by the pound, and even an ice cream parlor attatched. My one recommendation is they need some free samples like Ghirardelli

    $300 fifteen pound Santa !!

    We came in here in on the Saturday morning before Christmas around 10 am and the parking lot was full. We got the last spot which was weird because there were only 4 people in the store and they were both a couple. We wanted to get a box of a few assorted chocolates behind the counter. We stood at the counter while the employees help 2 other people who had came in after us. The one person went up to the register and then came over to the assorted counter and was picking out his stuff. I'm pretty sure the woman should have helped the people already standing there knowing what they want but there are no signs telling you where to stand. After she was done with him we ordered ours and it was $20 for a small box of chocolates. The chocolate itself is very good but service is a little slow and prices are in the high side. I didn't make it back at night time for their light display but would probably go next year and will go for my chocolate fix after a holiday and buy the discounted chocolate.

    Love this place at Christmastime. They do a Winter Wonderland which is a gorgeous walk through light display which is beautiful. They have an ice skating rink as well. Inside the store you can peer into the chocolate factory and watch how all the sweet treats are made. I believe you can also sign up for hours. Their chocolate is delicious. They have pre packaged as well as a counter where you can mix and match and pay per pound. They have homemade ice cream as well and you can also purchase coffee and hit chocolate. I've never gone any other time of year so I'm not sure what is in place of the wonderland but the store itself is worth the trip

    I went for the chocolate making class, tour, meet santa, and to view the light display. It cost $25 and reservations are required. They have you decorate a large rectangular piece of chocolate with dark or milk chocolate melted chocolate, M & Ms, sprinkles, gummy bears, etc. They wrap it up for your to take home. Next up, was a tour of the factory. We got to see the staff making chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, and caramel apples. After the tour, we got a scoop of ice cream. I had the carrot cake that tasted fresh and creamy. Afterwards, we went to the back of the property to view the light display. It is small, but perfect for young children's attention spans. During the light display, parking is at the school, which is a 5 minute walk. They have people directing traffic. The inside of the store has all of their yummy items for sale.

    This place is magical. First of all, as a total disclaimer, I wasn't too excited about going to a Chocolate factory. I'm not a kid; I'm not a whilly Wanka fan, and it certainly doesn't strike me as the most masculine of activities (let's be realistic is not like watching the game - any game). But to my surprise this place made me feel like a kid again. The first thing to notice is the factory's facade. It is built to resemble a Swiss/Austrian mountain house (one of those houses made famous by stories like Heidi - don't judge me for knowing about Heidi, lol). Either way, it's a perfectly fitting design for a chocolate factory considering the fact that Swiss are known as the greatest chocolatiers. In order to get the full experience we decided to buy tickets to the tour they have through the chocolate factory showing the chocolate making process. Truthfully thought it was a bit expensive at $25, but in all reality what businesses take you behind the scenes for you to see their secrets and the way they make their products? The answer- very few. Additionally, you get to make your own chocolate (I must clarify that we were 15 minutes late to the tour which starts at 5pm exactly and they were extremely accommodating).So I'll classify it as worthy. The tour was extremely informative. Our presenter taught about the 4,000 year history of chocolate from it's beginnings in the Americas under the Mesoamerican tribes to its reluctant adoption by the Spaniards and it's eventual modernization in Europe within the last 200 years. After the tour through the factory we were treated to a complementary scoop of ice cream. I picked a delicious Red Velvet Cake flavor. It blew my mind. Additional disclaimer, I'm not an ice cream person so, I'm not very versed on ice cream flavors and could be easy to impress. Lol. Outside, and in front of the factory they were polishing an ice skating rink they built in partnership with the Florida Panthers, our local hockey team, according to our tour guide. Sadly since they were working on it at the time we passed by we were not able to take advantage of it. Next time I guess. The night ended in the Christmas garden. They have a huge garden decorated with Christmas lights, Christmas sculptures and designs which is perfect for kids to enjoy, or as we noticed many times throughout the night, for a romantic getaway with a date. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I wish I had known about this place earlier. Ps: when you order chocolates at the front desk, they have chocolate bites you can eat for free. Go take some, and keep coming back as many times as you like. Truthfully, they don't seem to mind! Lol!

    Awesome chocolate shop which is perfect for holiday gift giving, classes or just a sweet treat if you're feeling up for it. Hoffman's is a staple in Palm Beach County and while they have several different shops scattered throughout the area, this is the main location where the majority of the chocolate is produced. Hoffman's makes delicious chocolate for the holidays. I especially love their chocolate-covered Oreos, which are decorated with different designs during the holidays. The store does a lot of production during the holidays and the lines can be pretty long if you're coming in, especially around Christmas. Still, this is a good place for gift giving. There are plenty of pre-wrapped packages of chocolates in fun shapes and they even have a Christmas light spectacular and an ice skating rink during the Christmas season.

    I was looking forward to my visit here because their product is good. At least at the Boca store anyway. Even the prepackaged boxes of Chocolate Covered Pretzels they sell at Publix are good. I think I had high expectations since I thought they made the chocolate daily at the Lake Worth location. At the very least I thought the chocolate would be fresh. I was wrong and left very disappointed and empty-handed. The store was bright and cheerful but unfortunately the employees were not. The floor had lots of tables that had beautiful displays of easy grab and go gifts. Cute boxed sets, baskets, chocolate Christmas trees and quite a few Hanukkah items too. The thing is that the store looked clean but it really wasnt. I was looking to buy gifts for my coworkers and I thought a sweet treat would be perfect. I was in the store for about ten minutes and I was not acknowledged by any of the employees. The one person I asked to help me was clueless and had no desire to find out the answer to my question. Aside from the table displays of grab and go items there wasn't much else to see or buy. I was really surprised that the display cases were not full of freshly made chocolates. I would think that the weekend right before Christmas and Hanukkah the shelves would be full of delicious mouth watering chocolates. Instead I saw dirty display cases with a small inventory of chocolate. Two rude ladies who were working behind the counter had no holiday spirit. They seemed miserable and I observed them taking out their frustrations on the few customers they had including myself. I understand working retail especially around the holidays could be tedious. The thing is I was there early in the morning before the crowds even arrived. I don't know what turned me off more; the dirty shelves or the snarky employees. When I finally found someone to assist me I asked her how many days the prepackaged Gourmet Chocolate Covered Apples would last. Her response was about a week. When I asked her if they were made that morning she said no and proceeded to walk away. I followed her and nicely asked her to find out when they were made. She returned and told me three days ago. So in reality if I purchased them that day the remaining shelf life would be just a few days. No thank you. I found the perfect gifts from Chocolates By Mr Roberts. I needed seven gifts and it was a pleasure working with them to create something special for the girls in my office. They were thrilled to help me and because of the personalized customer service I received they now have another loyal customer. The bottom line is that I can't possibly recommend this store. How can I possibly do that??? The chocolate cases were dirty and the employees were downright rude. Based upon those two facts I will not be back.

    I was heading down the turnpike when the advertisement for Hoffman's came over the radio. Chocolate dipped oreos? Next exit here I come. I have previously been to Hoffman's for their winter extravaganza when they open their backyard, decorate it with lights, and have pictures with Santa. It attracts hundreds of people so it is not the best time to shop. The building itself is adorable, it looks like a European chalet. As soon as you open the door you are hit with the mouthwatering smell of chocolate. Easter shopping is apparently a lot less hectic than coming at Christmas. At least on the afternoon I was here. They had an Easter Bunny event last weekend and I am sure that brought a lot of people. Their store has an ice cream shop to the left, the showroom floor, and the factory to the right. Nothing was happening in the factory on my visit. I checked their Easter selection and found the prices to be high. It didn't seem to slow anyone down however. I saw someone arranging to ship $150 of their candy somewhere. For $32 I selected a bunny pop, a box of the chocolate dipped oreos, 2 chocolate dipped smores, a pretzel stick, and two truffles. All of it is going into my daughter's Easter basket. In addition to the seasonal Easter selections they had all of their usual offerings. If you have never been to Hoffman's it's worth a visit especially during the winter holidays for their events and factory tour.

    4 scoops!

I wanted to send something he can nosh on because he loves his sweets. My dad eats cake every morning for breakfast, yet he never puts on weight. At 70 something, I say let him eat cake. I found these giant fortune cookies right here on Yelp! I thought they were cute and would make a unique gift. Each cookie can be personalized with your choice of chocolate and ribbons. I sent my dad a father's day cookie which I had dipped in dark chocolate and it was decorated with tiny blue candies. I chose the dark navy ribbon to complement the package. I also sent a birthday cookie to my dad's wife who's birthday was the day before father's day. The birthday cookie I also had dipped in dark chocolate and it was decorated with confetti candies. I picked a pretty pink ribbon to match the candies. A fortune cookie wouldn't be complete without a fortune. At no additional cost you can personalize your fortune to make the gift truly unique. Basically the cookie is both a card and a present all in one. You can't go wrong. You can order online at www.goodfortunes.com or you can order with a "cookie counselor" over the phone. I ordered over the phone since I had some shipping concerns. All my questions were answered and I felt comfortable placing the order. They shipped my order out the next day and my package arrived in New York in two days. The cookies were packaged well with stryofoam and ice packs. Although the cookies did not melt, the ice pack was almost melted when it arrived at my dad's house. Most importantly both cookies arrived in perfect condition. No breakage, yay! I am holding back the 5th star because the shipping fee was very high. I understand that it was shipped via UPS and arrived in two days but it seemed high to me. This won't stop me from ordering again. If you are local you can pick up your order at their location on Lake Worth Road in Greenacres, Florida. Good Fortunes does everything from corporate gifts to wedding favors. They have regular sized cookies or the gigantic ones that come in at nearly one pound. All the cookies are able to be personalized and you can mail them a gift card to hide in the cookie too. Lot's of choices and it's all up to you to design the perfect cookie to make the perfect gift. I recommend Good Fortunes and I will definitely be using them again.

    One thing about me is I love to shop..shop for clothes, shop for food, shop for presents (yay),…read moreetc...shopping is great! So, when my cousin's birthday was soon approaching I decided I must get her an awesome gift. Considering she lives in Chicago (me in LA) I would be limited in my gifting options. Clothes- No, too hard Jewelry- Nah, that's what boyfriends are for Flowers- Unoriginal Food- Hmm..like what? Candy- Umm..maybe Cookies- That would be fun So, I decided on www.goodfortunes.com, home of the giant fortune cookie!! Now, my cousin and I are both *ahem* getting to a certain age where numbers shouldn't be disclosed, so she decided her birthday was non-existent this year. I wanted to respect her non-birthday wishes, but give her something she could smile about. So, I decided to call up Good Fortunes (this is my second or third time ordering from them) and put my order in for delivery to Chicago. You also get to choose a personal message, which I chose to emphasize her new job rather than engage in birthday wishes. However, I did pick a birthday fortune cookie. I was really happy with my purchase and even happier that my cousin loved my non-birthday gift! So, overall Good Fortunes is a great place for a fun (not to mention tasty) gift that's better than the conventional flower delivery. Everyone loves fortune cookies and better yet these cookies are ginormous AND topped with candy goodness. Nothing better than a cookie candy extravaganza!!! :)
