By no means am I a chocolate connoisseur - meaning that, frankly, you stick candy in front of me,…read moreI'll eat it. I know what I like and what I don't, but that's about as far as it goes. One of my colleagues surprised me with a box of the sea salt caramels recently and I wrote him an email that read like this: "Mother of God. These chocolates are amazing. Thank you so much...I want to hate you for introducing me to these, but they are so good, I can't." That pretty much sums it up. I don't even want to try anything else because I'm not sure that it can get any better than those sea salt caramels. They are little pieces of confectionery heaven and I'd go to church if they were served for communion.

The store is advertised as a Pop Mart, but there were only a couple of items that seemed like…read moresomething Pop Mart would actually carry. Most of the store was candy and novelty items. The bigger issue was the atmosphere. It didn't have the cute, fun candy store vibe I was expecting. The exposed concrete floors and dim lighting made the space feel a bit off putting and unfinished. I think the store would benefit from more decorations and a brighter, more whimsical design to make it feel more inviting. Not necessarily a bad store, but it wasn't what I expected based on the name and branding.

Two floors of irresistible candies! I was in heaven !! They have it ALL! Not over priced. You…read morecan build your own bag of candy or just buy individual packs of whatever you prefer.. they have all the original /regular candies.. then some from when I was little that i totally forgot about!

Hilliards Candy is that South Shore stalwart that you may have forgotten until you really need it!…read moreIt's been in the area for, well, forever! and for my family at least, it's been bringing sweet treats for about 40 years. A few years ago the store moved from the cramped space in Norwell at Assinippi Corners to a fresh, larger building right at Queen Anne Corner on Rt. 53, across from Alfredo Aiello. It manages to have to same cozy feeling as the old store when you walk in and are surrounded by whatever seasonal chocolates are displayed, plus the cases full of chocolates, truffles, jelly beans, foil-wrapped chocolates - everything! It's a given that the big holidays - Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day - have everything and everything you could want to make a sweet tooth happy. I've spent many visits to Hilliards picking up waaaay too much candy for big holidays as well as the smaller ones (St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween) because "I need to bring candy to work!" More like, "I need to bring candy home!" Displays are fresh and full, the prices won't make you blink- think delicious without breaking the bank - and the staff is low key helpful rather than hard sell. I especially like that since I like to roam around, walking the hardwood floor, shopping the one-for method: one for you, one for me. One for you, one for . . . well you get it! Lots of parking in the back of the building, so look past the teeny 3-space area in front and just follow the arrows to the back door-and sometimes there're samples!

Amazing store! Great selection! Yvette waited on us and she was fantastic! Extremely personable…read moreand attentive! She had great recommendations! Looking forward to trying the chocolate covered butter butters!

Did you know these chocolate divas at PureFections make an Advent calendar? Nope, I didn't either,…read morebut my hubby did and he bought me one for this past Christmas- It is so cute and sweet, with the perfect little bite of chocolate for each day in December.

I came across this candy shop while walking through the South Shore Plaza in Braintree…read more The store is a decent size and is clean and well kept up. I was there during the early evening hours and there were a few customers in the store but it was not overly busy. There is an excellent assortment of candy there. Candy bars including some hard to find candy bars. Also a variety of candies that you can either buy by the pound or buy some of the pre-filled boxes of the same candies. I got a couple of Zero Bars and I made up a small bag of Mary Jane candies for myself. The cashiers at the checkout area were friendly and professional. I will definitely shop there again.

They responded to my Instagram message by arguing with me and saying that they do sell "reps"…read morebecause some people don't want to pay the full price for an authentic product. But these "reps" are unmarked and customers are responsible for asking whether the product is real or not. Which is shady. I cited an incident where a customer came into the store to return a moldy drink while I was shopping and they didn't acknowledge that at all. So, do with that what you will.

I have tried more than 4 times to try this place out and its never open and never posts its hours…read more I even called and left a message asking to find out when they would be open and never even got a return call. Don't bother!

We placed an order in the middle of August., 3 weeks after placing our wholesale order, we had not heard from the company. So we called to see when our order would ship. Their phone system when to voice mail, and we left a message. Three days later we called them again. Same thing. Let a message with two extensions. Still no call back from them. Let emailed them on their website, and through all email addresses, we have for them. Still nothing. It has been over a month of trying to get a hold of someone from this company so we can at least receive a refund for no goods sent. After weeks of trying to get a hold of someone through all phone numbers and extensions, and email we are left with leaving reviews about them, so you don't get duped, left with less money, and without product purchased.

Nuts Factory in Beacon Hill is a nationwide candy and chocolate chain that has built its retail…read morepresence around elevated confections, with Dubai Chocolate as the centerpiece of what draws most people in. We walked into a location that fits the brand well, sitting comfortably among the other specialty food options in the mall without feeling out of place. The Strawberry and Dubai Chocolate combo is the natural order for anyone trying the concept for the first time. It arrived with pistachio butter and a layered set of toppings that made the whole thing feel more composed than a standard chocolate treat. The chocolate itself is smooth and restrained on the sweetness, which works in its favor and keeps the experience from tipping into cloying territory. The combination with the strawberry is well balanced, with the fruit cutting through the richness of the pistachio and chocolate in a way that keeps each bite feeling fresh rather than heavy. At around eighteen dollars, the price point is the main hesitation. The quality is there and the experience of working through the combination is genuinely enjoyable, but it is more of a one time indulgence or a special occasion treat than something that becomes a regular habit at that cost. As a gift or a novelty stop during a Prudential visit it makes more sense, and the novelty of the Dubai Chocolate format still holds up well enough to justify the trip if you have not tried it before. Decent chocolate, an experience worth having at least once, but probably not a frequent stop for most people.
