I guess really my only complaint is I was a bit shocked at the pricing. My hubby and I did go the mix and match route for the chocolates, but even that was close to $15 in a small carton. Thankfully the chocolate was all delicious, so I want to say it was mostly worth it.

I've been a lifelong jersey resident and I cannot believe I didn't know about this place. But of course once I mentioned it to my parents they were like "oh yeah, we know Damask ! They're delicious!" If I remember correctly, the nice girl at the counter was telling me they've actually been there since 1950. It's completely family owned, homemade candies. And let me tell you this chocolate is absolutely delicious! And so nice of them to offer samples at the counter. I've never had a sea salt caramel that tasted so good. And the chocolate covered pretzels are to die for. My mom absolutely loves the buttercream, and my dad is a toffee fan. But you cannot go wrong with their signature "Candy" which is actually oyster crackers dipped in chocolate. You absolutely have to try this place if you pass it. They are only open from October to Easter so get there while you can! I wish I remembered to take pictures, but we ate the candy too fast lol. Next time!

They had so much candy or all different finds from truffles and prepackaged chocolate covered pretzels, to hand dipped chocolate covered peanut clusters and vintage candy like razzles and sodapip! A perfect place to purchase a nice, small gift from or to stop by after grocery shopping for some treats. Their space is small and a bit overcrowded, but they have so many options! They are expensive, even compared to other fresh chocolate places in Middletown, but the staff was so kind and knowledgeable and sweet, I felt great supporting them!

If you're looking for something in particular they probably have it :)

The end of block looks like city blight, hope some new businesses locate here across from the Penn Station walk up area. The chocolate is not inexpensive and quite small for the price/value. That did not stop me from buying a few items that quickly added up to $50. Upon tasting them, good not great compared to European chocolates. Oh well, good to support local businesses and enjoy some sweetness along the way.

First of all, I had to get several of the retro postcards that they sell. The artwork is so charming I can't resist and I always feel like I have to share it with others. And it changes each season so you really can learn about greeting card history by looking at the cute details of the art and the postcard. Chloe was very kind and she knew the history behind a marshmallow caramel chocolate that they sell, especially at this confectionary. Another thing I like to pick up is one of their gingerbread cookies. They are hand pressed and I just feel so spoiled to get to enjoy this beautiful and very special cookie. Thank you all so much for all your hard work. You make such wonderful treats and are also a tour guide of your historical shop. You're historians on chocolate and this city. Thank you so much for all your hard work . Past , present and future ! How wonderful we can enjoy even to this day this beautiful building and see all the beautiful candies and chocolates and cards . And here are wonderful stories . 160 years of sweet treats. I'm really grateful that you carry on this lovely tradition. Thank you for everything.
