I purchased six boxes this year! And we only kept one box for ourselves. If you have never tried it, you are missing out.

I also like their large selection of old fashioned candies from childhood. Candy Kraft is a warm and welcoming candy shop. Their candy is arranged beautifully with a great layout.

NOTE: This location is CLOSED. The nearest location is at Rotterdam Square Mall…read more You deserve a chocolate break! What a cool slogan. Gertrude Hawk is one of my favorite chocolate shops, which has locations in only NY, NJ, and PA. This location opened recently at Colonie Center (lower level near Sears). Locally, there are other locations at Rotterdam Square and Wilton Mall. The store carries a good variety of boxed chocolates, candy bars, Smidgens, chocolate tubs, prepackaged candy, chocolate covered pretzels, and confections on display. These chocolates make great gifts for that special someone. The friendly staff was handing out free samples. The main draw for me to Gertrude Hawk are the chocolate & caramel dipped apples and the HAND DIPPED ICE CREAM BARS, especially the latter. Not all Gertrude Hawk locations offer hand dipped ice cream bars including the Langhorne, PA store in the Oxford Valley Mall. I was bummed out there and told to go to Cold Stone Creamery in the same mall. Anyways, I was very thrilled to see this store now open and I treated myself to a hand dipped ice cream bar, Whitey's vanilla ice cream dipped choice of chocolate, (I chose peanut butter sauce), which came out to $3.01 with tax. The ice cream is cold and refreshing, but the sweet crunchy coating is the best part!

I don't get this place. For a specialty chocolate shop they are only mediocre, as a place of…read morebusiness, I'm astounded that they're still going. Every time I go into or even just walk past this place, there is no one there. While I've had employees wander off on me here, recently they are not to be found at all. If I were a less honest person, I could easily walk out of there with most of what's on the floor. It's not like the employees are gone for a few moments, we're talking about 10-20 minutes of absolutely no one around, even after shouting "hello". Maybe it's just me, but when I'm in the mall, especially on a weekend, I don't want to have to go hunting to someone to cash me out. I'm amazed that their inventory doesn't walk right out the door. Their prices are fine, their selection is okay, but the complete and utter lack of staff is something I just can't get past.

Out of the m&m, peanut butter, and double chocolate chunk, I recommend the last option.
