You know what I really like? chocolate…read more I was in Erie for work last week and after making a little detour to TJ Maxx I decided to stop at the little chocolate shop next door, Pulakos Chocolate! This little shop is full of a ton of different types of treats and chocolate bars in the shape of animals, ballerinas, crosses, instruments, and all other sorts of things along with offering fudge, sponge candy, truffles, chocolate pretzels and literally everything else under the sun. After walking around for way too long I finally settled on the chocolate covered pretzel sticks, sponge candy, a chocolate ballerina for my girlfriend, and some discounted heart marshmallows because why not? When I finally got to eat this sweet little treats I was in tasty chocolate heaven. All of the things I got were delightful and helped my sweet tooth guide me back to Buffalo. Overall, I was a big fan of Pulakos Chocolates and would love to return in the future. The employee working was extremely friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the chocolate was delicious. Do yourself a favour and check this place out!

When you enter the store, the proprietors always are helpful in picking out just what you're looking for. It's a small family candy business with delicious meltaways, fudge, and every other form of soft and hard candy you can want. As a kid, my favorites were the gummy turtles and rock candy, but I appreciate the Marzipan, Mint chocolate meltaways, and Dark Chocolate coconut clusters now.

I will say that I am a sucker for some good old-fashioned candy. And knowing how much of a sweet…read moretooth I have, that could get me in trouble. So when taking a drive a bit off the beaten path of W. Lake Rd. in North Springfield PA, I was amazed with how charming the exterior of this place was. This is none other than "Peggy Gray Candies and Gifts". This has been here for over a full century having opened their doors for business back in 1922. Since I actually didn't plan on visiting this place, it was a surprise to me which made this all the more exciting. I will say that the exterior painting on the side of the building is what really drew me in this place. It showcases so much charm that honors Christmas, Halloween, and children eating candy which is why I loved how well thought out this was. I even liked the small steps that led up to the entrance under the red awning as this building could easily pass as someone's home in Erie County. During my visit which was on the afternoon of Thursday 9/14/2023, I came around 12:35pm. Parking was easy to find as this is a relatively quiet area and I was the only customer upon entering. Upon entering, I absolutely loved the assortment of candies; many of which seemed as if they were from a bygone era. This is what made this place unique with so many choices. This includes suckers, truffles, gummies, licorice, salt water taffy, homemade fudge, and the more popular well known options such as Charleston Chew, Pez, Dots, Nerds, and good old Hershey's. I mean we are in Pennsylvania, home of Hershey's chocolate. I even saw chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered potato chips. I purchased a few small items to take with me as well as a Boylan's Cane Cola that has a sweeter taste than big name Coca-Cola/Pepsi/RC Cola. Since this is also a gift shop, they carry a neat amount of non-perishable items as well. The lady that rung me up was very sweet and accommodating as much of the traffic that comes through the door is out-of-towners on their way to Erie, PA or Cleveland, OH. Best of all, they're open for business seven days a week; Monday through Saturday from 9:00am-5:00pm and Sunday from 10:00am-4:00pm. With the uniqueness this place has to offer, above average customer service, huge assortment in a small building, and overall great prices, I am giving "Peggy Gray Candies" a perfect five-star rating.

Around 10pm EST on the date of April 3rd 2017, I was physically assaulted by a stranger in the…read moreparking lot of this grocery store. I watched a man get into an argument with his significant other, throw her groceries on the pavement, and take their child, and drive off. I was sitting in a parked car nearby and I felt the need to intervene. I got out and helped this woman collect her scattered groceries as she was hysterical on the phone. She barely acknowledged me as I helped consolidate her things. It wasn't long before her SO pulled back into the parking lot and continued the argument with her. I was still stacking canned goods and bottled water on the pavement. (I will also note that around this time, someone's great grandfather walked by and loudly commented "SOMEONE SHOULD DO SUMTHIN BOUT ALL THIS!" The woman's SO turned to me and remarked with profanity that I needed to stay out of his family's business. I kindly reminded him that he was verbally assaulting his his girlfriend in a very public space and that it was now everyone's business. He then informed me that I should "get out", and that's when I told him he should "get his *house* together." It was around this time that he started punching me in the head. Upon reflection, I think his response was not very diplomatic. I decided that being assaulted by a stranger in the parking lot of a grocery store wasn't what I wanted to do that night, so I started walking away. Our friend disagreed with me and pulled me closer. It turns out he was not done hitting me. We respect the commitment. Eventually, I made it into the store (I wanted to buy cookies (THEY WERE SO DELICIOUS)). An associate asked about all my bruising and general disorientation. I let them know that there was a very punchy fellow outside. They shrugged it off because usually there is a cop outside to stop the punching. The cookies were those flaky sugar ones with the sprinkles and super thick frosting. So good. I had a craving for them that night and they absolutely hit the spot. I know this might sound controversial because a lot of people do NOT care for those cookies, but this is my truth. Nothing stops a man on a mission.
