We live over an hour away so I ordered it online, it's pricey, but WORTH it. She said it was the best thing she's ever tasted in her whole life. I also ordered the stuffed caramel chocolates and the stuffed biscoff cookie butter chocolates. The caramel is perfect, the chocolate is smooth and delicious. I haven't tried the cookie butter ones yet, but they'll be soon!

It had a stronger chocolate flavor and was not overly sweet. It's funny I was thinking about it when I tasted it. But didn't ask for more information about it. The store is cute.

Ye Olde Pepper Companie is the oldest candy store in the United States - they have been open since…read more1806! They are famous for their Gibralters and their Blackjacks - I of course, took home both. The Gibralters come in lemon and peppermint flavor - they are big pieces of candy that are made to be broken and shared. I also took home two of the blue raspberry flavored fruit jellies which didn't make it very far - I'm a sucker for anything blue raspberry flavored. The inside of Ye Olde Pepper Companie is very small, the line took up the entire store and people actually had to wait outside until people left before they could come in. The line moved quickly though and they were very organized when helping customers. There are no tables to sit at, just tables, cases and shelves of candy! They offered chocolates, fudge, Saltwater Taffy, caramel corn and even brittles. Is it the best candy in the world? No, but I love knowing that I got to visit and purchase candy from the oldest one in America. Staff were very friendly and they gave me a See's Candy vibe minus the cute little outfits. I will definitely visit again if I get the chance! Check out a part of history!

I've been buying chocolates from Stowaway Sweets for 10+ years. Due to illness last year, I missed…read morebuying from them for Valentine's Day or other events. This year, I ordered online instead of visiting in person. I noted that the prices had gone up significantly, but my past experience was that their chocolates were fresh, creamy, not-to-sweet, and delicious, so I ordered anyway. It's clear that ownership and/or the chocolate formula and recipes have changed, because the chocolates I received were no better than a Whitman's Sampler. The chocolates were very bland and too sweet, without the creamy mouthfeel. They were so bad, in fact, that I drove to Phillips in Dorchester to buy replacements-- they, at least, are still high quality and worth the price. It appears from some research and asking around that their ownership has changed-- and that my experience of the serious decline in quality and value is similar to others'. If you were inclined to buy based on past experiences, skip it.

I walked into this quaint shop and was welcomed by three workers. Super sweet and welcoming. I went straight to the fudge and they had a lot of varieties to pick from. I asked the nice lady behind the counter what are some of the most popular and she started listing some. I first decided on one square of chocolate peanut butter and after looking more, the worker suggested I should get one more. Yes, she was right! Got some cookies and cream fudge too. They last well in the fridge and more to share. The fudge was priced very well. I was expecting more but it was a great price. Had some fudge tonight and they both are delicious!

I'm happy to add it to my list of places to stop at whenever we visit NE. We had a nut allergy in our group, and they were very accommodating and told us about their protocol to prevent cross contamination (washing blades and pans in between batches) and packaged the items for our nut allergy friend separately. Although there isn't a 100% certainty, I'm happy to say our friend did not need an epi pen and was thrilled with his fudge!
