Candy apples
Dev T.

I love coming to Sweet Caroline's for a chocolate fix! I always get the milk chocolate salted caramels. They are so good! They always have plenty of fudge options and have some really interesting flavors. Most recently we tried the cookies and cream and enjoyed it. The ice cream here is great as well. There is not a ton of seating but I have never seen it get too busy. The staff here is always quick and kind. I will definitely continue to return!

This area of Overland Park is old enough to feel small town, but is so close to Town Center and Scheel's. We came for Jalapenos, but didn't want to miss out on trying this cute little ice cream shop. The interior has the old school sweets shop feel, and has very little seating towards the back. The ice cream is homemade ,and features hometown favorites named after local teams. I opted for the cherry limeade and a scoop of cake batter as well on a cake cone. I also got a caramel apple as well on my second visit. Cherry limeade: so, so good. Somehow creamy, but tart as well. Cake Batter: reminds you of Coldstone's version, but without the chewy texture. The caramel apple:This won't be repeated, I wasn't impressed. This will be a regular stop for us, love it!

Such a cool local store! Sweet Caroline's is like an old-fashioned soda shop with homemade ice cream, candy by the pound, retro treats, and a very tempting display case filled with lots of decadent items. The day we were in, we were the only customers and Caroline's son was working. He was so friendly and funny and told us all about their products. Their chocolate is made in their on-site kitchen. Very impressive. We got several pieces of chocolate to go, and he told us how to transport it home so it'd stay the right temperature, and how to care for it when we got home. You don't get this level of customer service often, so it was so nice to experience. We got fudge, 4 caramels, 2 chocolate covered Oreos, 2 cherry cordials, and 4 chocolate covered orange slices. It totaled just under $20, which I think is a very good deal for handcrafted candies. Our treats were amaaaaazing- especially the chocolate covered orange slices. They're a favorite of my mom's, but are getting difficult to find, or when I do they're made with imitation orange and are disappointing in flavor. The ones sold here are the real deal- SO GOOD! Most of their candy is available in milk & dark chocolate. They also have lots in white chocolate, and even a few sugar-free. They have a huge selection of caramel apples too- they're beautifully decorated. I'm telling everyone I know about this place. It's worth the trek from KC. Go check it out!

Cute little sweets shop. They've got ice cream, candy, fudge, candy apples -- you name it. If you love Sylas and Maddy's ice cream, they sell it here!! I don't have to drive to Olathe to get ice cream anymore! If you got a sweet tooth, you just have to check it out.

All the trappings of an old fashioned candy store with an added icecream bonus! This is not a pretentious fancy store. Instead it's a quaint little shop nestled down between a karate school and a Mexican restaurant. It's so small it's almost squeezed into the strip mall. There is outside seating, which makes for a nice summer ice cream shop experience. Once inside the walking isle around the counter is not very wide. You are greatest with shelves of hand made fudge and other treats with a small shelf of seasonal items to the right. Around the left is a long wall of bins of candy that you can fill bags with and an ice cream counter across from the wall. There isn't a lot of room to move, so browsing people can make it a little congested. Further back there is some indoor seating. The quality of the ice cream is superb. The selections range from vanilla to peanut butter freak. They also offer a wide selection of dipped cones. Except for the lack of space, the selection reminds me of a Baskin Robbins. There is no mixing of candy into the ice cream like a Cold Stone, but you can buy your candy in bags and eat it with your icecream, if you need that. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got a free taste of fudge before making our selections, and ended up buying slightly more than planned. Great place :-)

Peanut butter fudge

This is such an adorable quaint place. There is no seating inside however there is seating outside. This is definitely a chocolate lovers place they have anything you could possibly think of covered in chocolate and they do it beautifully. They have a case of different types of fudge, A case of all kinds of different dipped apples, A case of different types of chocolate covered items and a case of Sylas and Maddys ice cream. They also have a wall of candy by the pound and nostalgic candy's. So many different gift ideas for the chocolate lover you know. The service is beyond outstanding they offer fudge samples as well as ice cream samples. They offer different types of waffle cones and although they do not make the waffle cones in house they do dip them in house. This is truly a hidden gem.

So bummed. High change over with staff and cones continue to get worse. Three bites, finished ice cream = $4.50

So bummed. High change over with staff and cones continue to get worse. We keep telling ourselves that next time will be better. Tonight was the last straw (check photos for proof). When I asked her if this was the new one scoop size, she replied - "The cones are bigger now so the ice cream slips down," said Kendal (cashier name on receipt). Three bites, finished ice cream. Of the last five trips we've made, two have been great experiences - the two times that we had the privilege of Caroline behind the counter. Caroline - you have a great store, a great personality and when you're there, the product is amazing. I wish the experience was consistent; we used to be weekly customers, but are just bummed taking chances. Hoping your girls catch on to your standards of service. We'll try again this fall.

Discovered this little gem as it is less that a mile from my sons new townhouse. We were in the mood for ice cream and were pleasantly surprised they served Sylas and Maddies ice cream. They also had all kinds of great looking chocolates and other sweets. We will definitely be returning!

One of the first stops that caught my husband's eye was the Candy Wizard. We found a couple of things to bring home. Two hanging plaques(to celebrate the year we were born and the year we got married, as we celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year). We also found a couple of booklets for those same years. Next time, we may stop in and pick up pieces for the next set of years that mean something special to us. If you have a sweet tooth, you will be in heaven with this shop. There is plenty to choose from here. From candy sticks, the current favorites out there today. The staff was very sweet and attentive during our visit as well.

They had a sour patch kids flavor drink we had to try. We hadn't seen it anywhere else before. One thing about candy shops, they normally have center displays with chewy candies you can buy by the weight. This allows you to try a bunch of different things in one place. This is the option we went with in addition to the sour patch kids soda. The layout is nice and they really do have options I haven't seen other places. The decor pops and it inviting. Everything is clean and seems well taken care of. The employee was very helpful, a little too much since he kept asking us if we had questions, but we were the only patrons in the store. Overall, it was a more unique shop then some of the stores you might shop in, but still commercialized. If you like candy though, its definitely worth a try. Oh.. and the sour patch kids soda was waaaaaay to sweet. It wasn't sour at all. I thought it would be more like flavored lemonade with a sour punch, but that's not a comment on the shop itself.

Around this time of year, the company's major product is its famous chocolate marshmallow eggs. Marshmallow eggs are okay, but chocolate and caramel is even better. RS's Milk Chocolate Caramel Rabbit is available in 3oz and 7oz sizes. Even though this was my first time having it, I opted for the larger as it was 50% off. The biggest unknown for me was if the caramel filling would be distributed throughout the entire chocolate rabbit or just in the girthier body. Taking a big bite out of the ears, I was delighted to see that even the thinner head and ears contained caramel (just not as much). As far as the consistency of the filling goes, it's more liquid than solid and can be a little runny. The flavor of the milk chocolate and caramel filling is fine, but nothing to get too excited about. I still prefer a Cadbury Caramello, but for the price, RS is a good deal. Doughboy approved.
