Truly a hidden gem. NC Chocolatier has always been one of those places I drive by daily and say…read morehey I'm going to stop by one day. Well that day came, and I'm forever grateful I did. Located in a small plaza and can be confusing with the Illinois Nut and Candy sign but when you walk in the sweet smell of chocolate fills the air. There are glass closures of bon bons/ truffles that I've learned are hand painted, chocolate covered everything, gelato and more. They also have taffy apples, some with just the caramel, some with nuts, some with chocolate chips. You can never go wrong! Their chocolate is kosher friendly and I'm obsessed with the cookie bark, I could eat that all day. Highly recommend going on one of their chocolate tours too that's available on sundays. Make sure you book first as I found out they do sell out. You get to learn the history of chocolate and make your own taffy apples and chocolate dipped goodies. They also ship nationwide, I am definitely going to order some goodies for birthdays coming up!

As you walk up, you'd think that it's just an average chocolate shop. But, this place is anything…read morebut average. Everyone was unbelievably kind. It felt as if I was appart of their family. The place was sparkling clean. There was chocolate as far as the eye could see. And, the chocolate fountain was amazing! I could swim in that stuff. Pure heaven! The bonbons were to die for! I got the blood orange one and it was decadent and delightful! It was zesty and sweet with a pop of bittersweetness from the rich dark chocolate. It was a dream. I couldn't recommend this place more! We started out the night with learning all about chocolate and how to make it. Then, we learned all about the history behind NC chocolate. Which, I found absolutely fascinating! After, we dipped cookies in chocolate and pretzels. Then, we got to decorate them! Which, I loved! It felt as if I was a kid in a candy store. Then, we got to make our own caramel apples covered in peanuts, cookies, or cereal. Which, was a blast! After, we were given lots of samples and treats to take home. Along, with a swag bag! Thank you, Kesha, and NC company for making this wonderful experience possible!

One of the finest candy stores I know of, and my go-to place for food gifts. Prompt, friendly…read moreservice. Good selection of fancy chocolates and other candies. Everything in the store is kosher, some items are dairy (dairy items are clearly labeled) and the staff is knowledgeable about allergens and can guide you appropriately if you inquire. Prices? Well, if you want cheap candy, go to the supermarket. Candy Squared is a boutique selling upscale candy with fine presentation, and it tastes at least as good as it looks, so in my opinion, the prices are very reasonable for what you're getting. In addition to everything else, Candy Squared is a woman-owned, local, independent business that's well worth supporting.
