I smelled something foul outside this store, but inside smelled even Fowler…read more Not really, though. It doesn't smell at all. They actually make really good sponge candy. It's not as amazing as Alethea's but it's in second place for the Western New York Region. The only reason I don't usually give these Fowler locations five stars is because of the prices. It can cost you a ridiculous amount of dollars to get yourself some sponge candy. It's kind of crazy. And the rest of the candy is pretty overpriced too.

On a sunny day there is nothing like walking down Main Street in Williamsville and trying the local cuisine. For a great after dessert, I would recommend walking down to Sweet Jenny's on Spring Street just off of Main. I've done this on many occasions and their ice cream is always a delight. There's usually a long line, but it goes really fast and the service is with a smile. I like a nice scoop of strawberry ice cream, like the one you see in the picture. As an added bonus, if you get there before 6pm, there is a comic book store inside on the upper level! I scored a Dr Strange #6 from 1974. So grab your ice cream, and sit in the shade and read your comic books to the sound of a waterfall at Glen Park located just behind Sweet Jenny's. There's nothing like it.

After an outstanding dinner at Hayes Seafood in Buffalo we made our way to Alethea's Chocolates for…read moredessert. Alethea's is named for the great grandmother of the current owners who started making candy in Greece over a century ago. The current shop is located in a charming, historic house in Williamsville - everything is made on the estate. Alethea's has an outstanding selection of icre cream and chocolates. We opted for the two-scoop almond butter toffee sundae which has vanilla and chocolate ice cream infused with almond butter toffee crumbles from the chocolate store. Drizzled in home-made choclate and caramel sauces and topped with freshly whipped cream, the ABT sundae is a decadent tribute to the fine art of creamery perfection. On our way out, we bought a pound of a Buffalo staple - chocolate covered sponge candy. Alethea's is a must-stop for anyone with a sweet tooth!

I used to go in there for ice cream sundaes all the time with my mom and they were always so good and I'm sure they're still the same way. They have a nice selection of chocolates in there. They have a lot of sponge candy. Milk, chocolate, dark, chocolate, and orange sponge candy. They have tables inside so you can sit down and eat your sundae or whatever else you order. They have all different kinds of candy, not just limited to chocolate. Like I said, they are expensive, but I think that goes with any specific candy store. I wanted to buy so many things in there, but did not have the money to do it. If you've never been in there, go and look around, have a Sunday, sit down and relax, and it's nice air conditioning.

They sold butter beer, which any Harry Potter fan would know of. It's alcoholic too, so you'll have to show your ID if you don't look your age. They also had two tables of gummies and one table entirely of chocolate. I didn't try the chocolate, but I tried every one of the gummies they offered. I still found sour belts to be my favorite though. But be creative and try their white Russian gummy and the margarita gummy. As for their packaged candy, IT'SUGAR offers plenty too. They offer Japanese snack packs, jumbo sized popular candy, and kinky themed candy. The extra large rice crispy treats caught my eye. It was large enough to be used as a birthday cake! They also sold super sized pink starburst that only contained the pink ones. About time starburst figured out that people only like the pink one.

The chocolate is smooth, creamy and perfectly dark or perfectly milk - either and both, as they are true to their names! The orange chocolate was "just a bit orange' - it isn't ORANGE chocolate, and we saw right off why this is a fave! The sponge candy - some wrapped in orange chocolate, some in dark and milk chocolate, and some sponge is even peanut butter! We were given generous sized samples, and bought enough for us and as gifts! The prices were all great, and considering the quality - VERY reasonable! The candy shop has truffles, candy by the piece / pound and just so much to choose from. We LOVED the smaller sized pieces, as we wanted to try a good number and we did! ALL have been excellent! Okay, the staff - they too could not be better! One young man said if we had any questions, just ask. He was IN THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! But I DID ask him, he came out and gave me great info. Not that I want to make chocolates - but I love knowing all that I can and it was just the best place! All of the folks know so much about the company, their products and so much more! They are so friendly and kind. It was an amazing place to visit and shop at! AND, they have videos that show you all about the orange chocolate and the sponge candy! It shows the process, the ingredients, and tells about "secrets" that make Platters Chocolates THE BEST! Below the video screens you can watch the processes they use to make their candies and it too was fun to witness and learn from. Chocolate is just the best, and you can never know too much about chocolate! Platters was the perfect place to get a soft-serve cone as well. They have a good selection, and of course I was looking forward to Orange Chocolate. Nope, my husband chose that and I had S'mores soft-serve. Those cones were huge and absolutely DELICIOUS! Ultra chocolatey, but not "just chocolate"! The orange essence shown in just the right degree and the S'mores was very chocolatey (I was delighted for that!) and had all of the s'mores ingredients shining in it as well. Okay, we did share and I was happy about that too! The factory part of Platters is fun, informative and live for some - video for other parts. The "chocolate shop" where you enjoy the candies and ice creams, is open and inviting. It is busy enough, but enjoyable too. There is just so much to see and try, and so many choices that you just have to go back!
