The shop itself was cute, but maybe a bit crowded since they're tight on space. It was fun to watch the workers making peanut brittle right in front of us, and we couldn't help but admire the other tempting goodies on display, from fudge to candied caramel apples. Overall, a sweet stop in the heart of Gettysburg -- just be ready to pay a little extra for the prime location.

We stopped here in Gettysburg yesterday and purchased the Turtle Sundae which was really good. Service was very friendly and prompt and the inside was basically spotless. The candy section the caramel apples and their selections. Everything was well presented. If you're in the area, we highly recommend stopping in here. Be careful on the parking because Gettysburg has parking meters that you need to be aware of so you don't get a ticket.

Inside the chocolate shop, the store is very organized, unique items, and an impressive chocolate counter. They were doing chocolate dipped strawberries when we went, they were AWESOME!

How did I not know about Macris Chocolate until now?! This place has been hiding in plain sight on…read moremy daily route--and it just might be my new favorite local gem. I discovered it thanks to their Harvest Party over Labor Day weekend: $42 for live acoustic music, endless wood-fired pizza by Perry Pizza Co., a grand dessert display with seasonal fruits and chocolate fondue, custom-made maple ice cream, complimentary beer and wine, lawn games, laid-back backyard vibes, a sneak peek at their fall chocolate collection, AND an exclusive caramel apple favor to take home. Um...shut up and take my money. I was so in. The shop itself is gorgeous. The historic stone house has been beautifully redone--warm, inviting, elegant but simple--designed to put all the focus (and all the scent!) on the chocolate. Behind the glass cases? Endless chocolate delights. Freezer? Penn State Creamery ice cream (apparently the only vendor on the West Shore). Shelves? A foodie's dream: teas, jams, jellies, spices, trays, utensils--you name it. One of the biggest highlights for me: their sugar-free selection. Coconut clusters, vanilla marshmallow, peanut butter, caramel, butter creams, cordial cherries, peppermint patties...the works. For anyone looking for sugar-free sweets locally, this is gold. The Harvest Party itself was fantastic--wood-fired pizza, hummus, chocolate-fondue-covered desserts, and the star of the show: exclusive Maple Cream Ice Cream by Urban Churn. Sweet, rich maple flavor that made an 80° summer day feel like fall had arrived early. Then came the chocolate caramel apples. Huge. Heavy. Chocolate bliss in every bite. Their website says, "105 years and three generations of small family business and chocolate expertise." And after this experience, I believe it. Beautiful shop, incredible chocolates, and one hell of a party. Bonus points: plenty of parking (thanks to the shared strip mall lot), pristine bathrooms, and a beautifully maintained property. Prices are what you'd expect from a family-owned chocolate shop (about $16 for a 9-piece sampler), and worth every penny for the quality. Now that I know Macris Chocolate exists, I'll be back--often. Can't wait to see what kind of magic they whip up for the holidays!

I recently participated in Georgie Lou's Retro Candy's 6th Annual Sweetheart Stroll, and while this…read moremay have been their sixth time hosting it, it was my first time even hearing about it. I immediately corrected that mistake by buying a ticket the moment I saw the event posted--and then started counting down the days. The concept alone sold me: a ticketed, adults-focused stroll through downtown Carlisle, with participating small businesses offering tastings, experiences, treats, and deals. Sweethearts of all kinds were welcome--couples, besties, gal pals--and dressing in red and pink for Valentine's vibes was strongly encouraged. Say less. Ticketing was super easy, and Georgie Lou's did a fantastic job with pre-event communication, especially via social media. One post in particular deserves a shout-out: a reminder to bring a bag to carry your treats. This is something I absolutely would not have thought about until I was awkwardly shoving sweet treats into my coat pockets. I came prepared with a small reusable shopping bag (pink, obviously), and by the end of the stroll it was completely full of sweets, trinkets, and purchases. Meanwhile, others were struggling with overflowing pockets alongside gloves, hats, maps, and life regrets. Lesson learned. Excellent advice! I found parking around 1pm and headed to Georgie Lou's to check in and grab my materials. The staff were incredibly friendly, checked my name off the list, and sent me on my way with a Map of Hearts, a button identifying me as an official 2026 Sweetheart Stroller, and a small sweet treat to kick things off. I also took some time to explore the shop itself--my first visit--and wow! They have managed to pack an impressive amount of nostalgic goodness into a small space. Total blasts from the past, plus candies I'd never seen before. Super fun shop! From there, the stroll itself was a delight. Georgie Lou's clearly put a lot of care into coordinating participating businesses, and it showed. Most spots offered sweet treats, discounts, or special offerings, but every single business was warm, welcoming, and happy to have folks stopping in. Even though I've done a few downtown Carlisle walk-style events before, I still discovered shops I'd never been in--and every purchase I made that day was from a place I was visiting for the first time. That alone feels like a win. Overall, this was a fantastic way to spend a few hours on a very chilly January Saturday. It got me out of the house, walking downtown, supporting local businesses, and discovering gems I usually zoom past while driving from Point A to Point B. I had such a great time that I jokingly asked if I could pre-register for next year... apparently that's "not a thing yet." Fine. I'll wait. :) This has officially been added to my annual tradition list. Great event, great execution, great vibes. Well done, Georgie Lou's!
