The prices were fantastic and very fair, which was such a pleasant surprise. So many chocolate shops tend to overcharge, but here you truly get quality and value. Everything is made right in the back, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The chocolate is pure, rich, and full of flavor. The maple truffle is my personal favorite! This place is a true gem in Plant City -- great people, amazing chocolate, and fair prices. We'll definitely be back!

Tons of options! You definitely need to check this place out! Like a kid and a candy store? You…read moreknow it!

Aunt Laurie's Candy Jar originally opened in Collingswood New Jersey but today Lake Wales is lucky…read moreto have this sweet shop in their historic downtown. As soon as you walk in to the store you are transported to a magical land of candy. You can find one of a kind sweets and candy you haven't seen since your childhood. Aunt Laurie's carries a wide variety of confections including house made chocolates, nostalgic favorites like moon pies, pop rocks and wax bottles, novelty candy like gummy Lunchables, candied nuts, taffy, fudge, truffles, rock candy, chocolate roses, caramels, popcorn, and children's toys and beanies. The candy may be filled with sugar but nothing is sweeter than Aunt Laurie who wants to be everyone's favorite Aunt. She greets you with a silver tray of candy because you are family and no one can walk around her store without eating candy. I wanted to purchase a chocolate dipped pretzel covered in Rolos and she insisted on gifting it to me along with a freshly dipped chocolate covered Oreo. I had to insist on buying something so I purchased a chocolate dipped pretzel covered in Snow Caps. The chocolate dipped treats were amazing. I wish I had gotten more but I had a long day ahead of me in a hot car. Next time I visit I will be sure to bring a cooler. Auntie Laurie also does gift baskets and party favors. If your child is celebrating a birthday be sure to bring them in to visit Aunt Laurie for her special love and attention. The candy is wonderful but just being around Aunt Laurie is enough to put a smile on your face.

I have been passing by this place for I think about 25 almost 30 years. I never once stopped by…read more The ambience of the store it's like an old town vibe funky not bad but different. I can appreciate older times and then today's times the staff was friendly. The clerk was undeniably charming he even offered me samples to taste of the goat milk fudge just because I was so excited to be there . I've always wondered what goat milk fudge tasted like and out of the blue one day I just stopped in and it was amazing. It took me back to my childhood, the unique toilet paper and toilet paper holders was nostalgic , old-fashioned handmade candies and ice cream, toffees and taffy the while experience was wonderful if you're ever in the Polk County area stop by have some try it the experience you will never forget it was unbelievable. Good time.

They also sell citrus chewy candies, goat milk fudge, fruit wines, and various gift items. They have out samples which of course hooked us. The prices are similar to any gourmet candy shop and they had some unique finds. The ambiance? You are surrounded by delicious candy... what could be better? They are also attached to a Dunkin Donuts so you can get a caffeine fix too

It's the kind of place where it would be very hard for a child to walk out empty-handed. Even though we didn't buy anything this time, we had fun browsing and taking it all in. I always enjoy looking at the creative displays and imagining how excited kids must be when they visit. It wasn't the right stop for us on this trip, but it definitely has that over-the-top, magical Disney vibe. If you have a sweet tooth--or kids with one--you'll probably want to plan a stop here. I saw so many kids with big smiles and some brides even were here when we stopped by! Something for all ages!

I think the first time we came here was back in around 2009 but it has been a couple years since…read morethe last time I stopped through. It's a good drive from where we live and I usually stop if I have other things in the area the vet we use is near here And sometimes I combine it with a trip to them, but this time was after a medical appointment. This is a really long building and when you first stop in, you might think there are multiple businesses, but it's all open inside with one store. Every time we stop here the people working are friendly and helpful. They always have free samples on some of the candies and occasionally on some of the Preserves that they sell. I'm a big fan of their jellies, jams, preserves, and conserves and more. On this occasion, we picked up an assortment of their candies and a couple of jars. One is a raspberry jalapeño jelly and the other one is a blueberry conserve. These are both new ones for us to try and they both sound delicious. I like shopping here because you get to support a local business and everything is tasty. The places well lit and always clean. If you're traveling, they also provide shipping on many of their products. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.

Dundee is a small Central Florida town along the Lake Wales Ridge, 50 miles south of Orlando and 30…read moremiles from Kissimmee. This is where you will find the most uniquely Florida candy store. Back in the early 1900s T. W. Davidson grew oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines near Dundee. In the 1960s his son, Glen, planted his own citrus groves and started Davidson of Dundee. Glen had a career with the large candy companies up north. In Florida he created his own version of the citrus candy, based on a recipe his mother used to make with sugar cane and citrus juice. He used the fresh juices from his groves so the candy retained its full citrus flavor. Davidson of Dundee is now run by Glen's son, Tom Davidson. The candy company has been featured on the Food Network, Fox, CBS, ABC, and has also been featured in Smart Money and Southern Living magazines. The process of making delicious jam and candy starts in their own 200 acre citrus orchard where they grow Valencia oranges, tangerines, and key limes. The harvested fruit is then taken into the kitchens at Davidson where the it is cut and juiced. Jelly is made from juice, jam contains the pulp, and marmalade contains the peel. None of the fruit goes to waste. The juice is also used in the candy. You can watch the process from the large glass windows. Whole fruit is shipped to people all over the country. One of the highlights of a visit to Davidsons is the free samples. Tom still makes the citrus flavored jelly candy his dad created but he has also experimented with new flavors. You can buy the candy in small bags or in different gift basket combinations. In addition to the jam, jelly, spreads, and candy, Davidson also sells chocolate alligators, tea, sauces, dressings, and Florida souvenirs. I couldn't resist the pecan logs and strawberry delight jelly candy. If you can't make it in person they have an online store.

The flashy and diner-esque Sugar Factory is a restaurant (not truly a full-sized candy store if…read moreyou're wondering) located within the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel Tampa. It's located on the second floor of the casino space and easy to locate. If you're wondering, the parking garages that are closest to the restaurant are Lucky Street and Winner's Way at the 2nd Floor/Casino level. After walking into the casino, it's a straight shot to the Sugar Factory as it's hard to miss with its bright and dazzling lights. The Sugar Factory takes a super playful approach at the dining experience as it truly makes everything a photo op. From the physical restaurant to the food itself, the patron is immersed in a "gram"-rich environment (light weight mad that the food here is more photo-genic than I am). It appears to be great for large groups and parties/celebratory events. There is a small candy/sweets section from where you can purchase those delectable morsels by the pound, along with other small trinkets. The menu is similar to other bar/grill-type restaurants (comparable to a BJs and even the Hard Rock Cafe). One main difference is in the focus that they place in their dessert/sweets section. The smoothies and ice cream go hard when it comes to flare and accoutrements (as mentioned before, they look more like art work than food itself). These treats do run on the sweet side... (4th wall break - c'mon look at the name). So, if you want to do it for the gram bring yourself and/or the group to the Sugar Factory at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Tampa!

We've visited this restaurant twice, and unfortunately, both experiences started the same way. Even…read morethough the restaurant wasn't busy, we had to wait 15-20 minutes just to be seated because there was never anyone at the host stand. During our most recent visit, we eventually walked into the dining area ourselves to find someone. Even after asking for help, it took another 10 minutes before someone came to the front to seat us. The desserts, however, are absolutely incredible. They offer a great variety, and while they're definitely on the expensive side, the portions are huge--one dessert could easily be shared by three people. The hot food, on the other hand, was underwhelming and didn't leave much of an impression. We'd consider coming back for dessert, but the service at the front and the quality of the entrées need improvement.

So we were stupid enough to be at Tyrone Mall returning an item. Not quite a month later. We walked…read moreby the store and the sign was up. We walked by about 45 minutes later, and the sign was still up. I understand there was an issue based on the owner responding back to my poor first review. But this was my second time. What's the excuse now? My friend is a jelly belly fan. Normally, he spends about $70 here. Which I say he needs help. But the employees seem to take longer breaks; which is perfectly fine and you are allowed. Just be courtesy and post that you won't be returning for that duration. Which is still silly because that isn't a quantified time.

FAMILY DIRTY SODA ADVENTURE!!!…read more We live this place. We always stop in on Saturdays when walking the downtown Market. It's a great stop for some ABAZABBA Candy bars (HARD TO GET MOST PLACES) and the kids get their Dirty Sodas for a refreshing drink after walking the strip of vendors!!! If we lived closer we would definitely go more often. They have a bunch of harder to get candy options as well as many different drink options. Food to Value: Good, pricing is on par with most other establishments of this type. The Service is always great, the employees are always so friendly and take the time to answer questions. They also have a rewards program from r everyone to sign up for savings!!! We love PALS and we hope you do to!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!! P.S. I will add more photos next time we go!!!
