On our trip back to NY from visiting my daughter in camp yesterday, my younger daughter spotted…read morethis "sweet" little candy shop so we decided to stop in. Opened in December of last year, the beautiful displays of gift baskets, assorted candy and cookies are a such a welcoming and pretty sight as you enter the store. The candy and cookies are not homemade, but you will recognize several of the brand names that they do carry, such as: Jelly Bean, Mrs. Prindables, Corso's Cookies, The Popcorn Factory, Lindt, Ferrero, Godiva, Ghiradelli, Hammond's Candies and several other favorites. There are pre-made baskets filled with goodies to celebrate Birthdays, a New Baby, Religious occasions, Get Well Soon, etc., but they can also custom make any other basket that you ask for. The section my daughter immediately ran to was where an entire wall was filled to the brim with many different types of chocolates and jelly beans you could possibly imagine. There are bags to the side that you fill with these delights which sell for $8.95 a pound. My daughter chose the malted milk balls and minature peanut butter cups. We took 1/2 pound of each. The chocolate is so fresh and delicious, I am very surprised there was any left by the time we got home. This is a great store to visit - definitely stop in if you're in the area and satisfy that sweet tooth! I shall be returning!!

Most recently got gifted some chocolate peeps which absolutely made my day. This is such a perfect store for gifts and sweet treats so I highly recommend stopping in. They have such high quality chocolates of all different flavors and assortments. It's such a gem in the town of Saugerties. I actually haven't gotten the chance to stop in myself so I look forward to doing that one day!

My favorites are the dark chocolate "jelly ring" (although it's not a ring, but rather a cube), and the milk chocolate covered pretzels. Both items are simply off the charts good. They have plenty of options for children and adults alike. There is one huge problem though......After tasting a confectionery treat from here, you'll never want to go back to the commercialized garbage you find in most stores. Get here. Try some. Enjoy tremendously.

My family and I have been loyal customers of Krause's Homemade Candy for many years. We've bought…read morechocolates for ourselves, holidays, and gifts, and visiting Krause's has always been a tradition whenever I returned to New York after living in Florida. In fact, it was the very first stop my husband and I made because I couldn't wait to enjoy my favorite chocolates again. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. The first thing I noticed was the new logo and packaging. While I know businesses evolve, the new design loses the classic, elegant feel that made Krause's so special and instead looks much more generic. More importantly, the chocolates themselves are not the same. Many of the pieces are noticeably smaller than they used to be, and the chocolate tastes different. Several pieces even had bloom, which affected both their appearance and texture. I purchased a variety of chocolates, including individual pieces from the display case, chocolate bars, and peppermint patties, and every product seemed to reflect a decline in quality. To make matters worse, many of my longtime favorite pieces were no longer available. I've happily recommended Krause's for years because it consistently offered some of the best homemade chocolates in the Capital Region. This time, however, I left feeling disappointed and honestly saddened. I truly hope the owners will consider returning to the quality, recipes, and traditions that built Krause's outstanding reputation, because many longtime customers remember how exceptional their chocolates used to be.
