He kept a note pad in his shirt pocket with her favorites. Basically anything but maple creams. (And I agree). Just a personal preference.

We tried this candy shop for the first time last weekend and really enjoyed the castle-ambiance…read more Kids would love it too. They have a huge selection of chocolate based (and some non-chocolate) based candies. They also have a ton of sugar free options which is great for those watching their sugar. We tried a variety of treats which were tasty- I particularly enjoyed the chocolate caramels. I was a little disappointed that the kind girls working behind the counter couldn't explain what some of the candies were, but they did offer to let me try one which made up for it some. We also tried a box of their chocolate covered strawberries, but were a bit disappointed as they were a little sour and not very good. However the other chocolates we got were amazing and worth returning!

This is a little hidden gem in White Oak! Customer service was on point. The raspberry creme…read morechocolates were full of filling and had great texture. Would go back!

Nice little store…read more The chocolate is good. Only complaint is we had to stop by 3 times to get there while they were open. The hours listen aren't at all when they are open. Which is a little frustrating when you promised kids you would stop by and pick up items. So make sure you call again when planning to go. Other than that, they do a lovely job on small & large orders. I suspect they're probably really the best for larger quantities and plan to use them for an upcoming anniversary party. Their presentation is on point.

After driving by every day, I had to stop and see what was available. I am so glad I stopped by…read more So much chocolate!!! I loved the creativity - from smores to emojis, to candy trays and peanut butter cups, there is something for everyone! The chocolate covered nutter butter was fantastic, and now every time I drive by, I have to talk myself out of stopping for one. If you have young kids, come here and experience the joy of a kid in a candy store. If you have a sweet tooth, come here and indulge in all the sweet goodness. Service was genuine and kind. Prices are very affordable. I can't wait to come back!

Candy, candy, candy!…read more I think it's great when a town has a place that makes their own sweets. But that's not all they do here. They are a fully functioning candy store. Set up kind of like one of those in a mall, but better. Of course I had myself a bag and filled it with all the essential candy one may chew on. Sour patch kids, chewy Sprees, gummy worms, Swedish fish, and the list goes on and on. They also have packages of candy too. No need to mix and match if that's not your thing. They make their own chocolates, and the display case inside was filled with very delightful items. I was tempted to ask for one of each, but I was able to keep myself in check. There are already packaged chocolates so you can just grab and go. If you want a certain mix of chocolates they are more than happy to oblige.

Chocolate Boutique is a local store that sells chocolates (of course!) as well as numerous types of…read morecandies and snacks. The store is a large size, and the assortment of goodies is large. Prices are moderate. I have been a customer of this store a couple of times in the past couple of years. During my first visit, I purchased several chocolates in flavors such as turtles, raisins, peanut butter, raspberry, creme brulee, and cherry cordial. An employee patiently waited while I chose my preferred flavors of chocolates, and then he carefully boxed them. Another employee spoke courteously to me and accurately rang up my purchase. At home, I thought that these chocolates were so tasty that I ate all of them in one sitting! During my most recent visit, I purchased several types of chocolates that were already prepackaged: turtles, Fruity Pebbles white chocolate, chocolate-covered raisins, chocolate-covered marshmallow, s'more, and truffles. The cashier made friendly conversation, and she correctly processed my purchase. I enjoyed the flavors of these chocolates.

Very good selection. A bit pricey. Also not easy to get the individual / personalized group of…read moresmall chocolates. Otherwise if you like chocolate and candy, you're good to go

This place was very cute and very helpful. I got a lot of stocking stuffers…read more It reminded me of a candy shop I had as a kid. It took me back. There was a comfortable vintage family vibe. I do wish they had vegan options though.

The owner is passionate about his work and can tell you in detail what makes good ice cream, what companies make the best gummy candy, and what would be fun to try! Not only do they sell some of the best ice cream I've ever had (which is saying a lot), they also have in-store dehydrators to make creative versions of your favourite candies. Freeze dried Skittles, anyone?

Chocolates are good. I would agree with the other review, that they rival Sarris. But I placed an…read moreonline order and my package came unsealed. I've emailed the company multiple times and have even followed up. They've offered no solution- to me that's unsatisfactory and unacceptable. It's not safe to eat an open product. And they've done nothing to fix the situation. So chocolate- 5 stars. Service- 0.

I have fond memories of Andersons. Growing up, my parents used to get these gigantic Easter eggs…read more Now, my go-to are the chocolate covered strawberries. They are whole strawberries covered completely in chocolate, like the old Joseph Horne ones of my youth. No Shari's Berries or Anthony Thomas for me. I want Andersons. You are advised to keep them frozen. I live nearly 200 miles away, and it's summer. But I came prepared. I have one of those frozen grocery bags that you keep in the freezer and a big ice pack, and it all goes into my Trader Joe frozen food bag. This place is filled with chocolate. My only regret is I forgot to ask if they make a version of Annaclaires, a childhood favorite from Gimbels.

We (my steady Betty (hereafter "SB" and I) attended a chocolate truffle-making class here. It was…read moreheld at their Millvale location, which is not a storefront, per se, but where the chocolates are made. This is an odd sort of review, because the only chocolates I've eaten from here were the ones she tutored us to create. And...well...they were magnificent. So rewinding a bit... I was looking for gift idea for SB. A friend at work pointed me to a link to a listicle or PG article about a chocolate making class. I'd never heard of it before. Completely in the weeds. When I went to A519's webpage, it was not intuitively obvious to me where I could go to sign up. BUT...it's listed under "products"...https://shop.a519chocolate.com/products/private-truffle-making-class There...I made a link for you. If you love chocolate, or you love someone who loves chocolate, this class was really fantastic. It broke down a bit like this...(2 hours) 1) Introductions/qualifications/backstory (5 minutes) 2) Presentation about cacao to chocolate...bean to bar. Terminology, taste, geography (10-15 minutes) 3) Tasting...taste various types of "raw materials" used to make chocolate truffles, white chocolate, dulce, milk chocolate, various percentages of dark chocolate up to 85% (20 - 30 minutes) 4) Making chocolates (the remainder) Informative, entertaining, delicious, and satisfying. It's a working kitchen, but doesn't take up a ton of space, so a six person class can be a bit cramped, but not uncomfortably so. There was plenty of space for each couple to follow instructions and hands-on. We first decorated molds using cocoa butter sprinkles (a la Jackson Pollock), then painted with an air brush, then made ganache and tempered chocolate and poured and scraped, cooled and broke molds, each couple taking home 24 BEAUTIFUL truffles. SB likes 'experience gifts', and this one was a great experience for us both. And the truffles WE made were amazing, so I can't imagine how good the ones Amanda (owner/chef) produces would be. Strongly encourage (think: valentine's day gift).

I have been to events where A519 handmade from scratch chocolates were featured and they are by far…read morethe best chocolates I ever tasted in Pittsburgh. They recently opened a pop up shop in central Lawrenceville which will be open through Feb 2018. When I arrived I met Amanda Wright's husband who is in charge of the shop. Chocolate truffles come in different size boxes and are very expensive. You can still order from Amanda either on-line or call her shop where she produces them if you are unable to come out. Boxes range anywhere from two to a box for $4.00 to about fifteen in a box for $30.00. Although they are grouped by category such as caramels, you are permitted to mix and match to your liking. I decided to opt for a champagne filled truffle and a dark chocolate one. They were box very nicely and I ate them when I got home. Believe me as always they are to die for! These chocolates are to be savored. Wine pairing also helps you enjoy the flavors better. I don't mind have to shelve out a little extra cash when I know something is extra special and believe me I have never been disappointed in any or their high end chocolates. If you are able to get to central Lawrenceville during the holiday season this place is a must if you want to get some of the best candy in the city. Amanda can also custom design a box using sports teams or beautiful art. This makes a great gift for someone who is indeed a chocolate lover.
