During our recent visit, this store had a wide variety of dark and milk chocolates on shelves and in display cases as well as gummy, sweet, and sour candies on shelves. I found some of my family's favorites such as a chocolate orange, peanut-butter and jelly chocolate, chocolate-covered pretzels, liqueur chocolates, chocolate roses, marzipan, etcetera. The flavors were often unique and very tempting! I think that more price tags could be added to the display cases, but the price tags on the packaged treats seemed to be reasonable, for example, several dollars for one chocolate bar.

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.

Customers may purchase candies at the store or through their website. I placed an online order for two products. Shipping cost $12 for USPS Priority Mail. The website said that they process orders in 1-2 business days, but I did not receive a shipment email or package after several days. I emailed and called, and an employee told me that they would make my cordial strawberries later that day. My package took 10 days to arrive at the post office and then 1 day to be delivered to my home. Cordial strawberries ($21) - 5 stars - My box included 6 strawberries that were surrounded by juices and covered in milk chocolate. I had not previously eaten cordial strawberries, so they were a surprise to me! These strawberries tasted very sweet and delicious, but when I bit into them, a large amount of juice dripped out! If you buy these cordial strawberries, make sure that you eat them over a plate and have a paper towel nearby. Deluxe assortment of milk chocolates ($15) - 4.5 stars - This box of chocolates weighed 8 ounces. I could not figure out all of the flavors, but I think that I received strawberry cream, orange cream, caramel, toffee, turtle, mint, coconut, chocolate, cherry cordial, and a few other flavors. I enjoyed most of these flavors.

Barkus Chocolates sells a variety of chocolates, such as cordial cherries, chocolate-covered pretzels, peanut butter melt-aways, chocolate-covered potato chips, s'mores, pecan turtles, caramel patties, caramel apples, truffles, peanut clusters, and many others. Through Barkus Chocolates's website, I ordered a potato chip stack ($4.25), a peanut butter cup ($7.25), a s'more ($9.50), and an 8-ounce box of assorted milk chocolates ($17.95). Shipping cost $7.87. The next day, Barkus Chocolates shipped my package via the USPS. One day later, the USPS delivered the package to my house. I felt happy with the speed of the shipping. I enjoyed the flavors of most of the chocolates.

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.

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).

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.

As soon as I entered the store, an employee came out to greet me. She patiently waited while I browsed the assortment of chocolates.
