We received several boxes of chocolates at work as a Christmas gift from one of our customers, and wow--what an absolute treat! You can immediately tell this is a family-owned candy company. The attention to detail, the craftsmanship, and the quality of each exquisite piece really stand out. Every chocolate in the box was beautiful, delicious, and made with obvious care. Nothing tastes mass-produced; instead, each piece feels special, like it was created with pride and tradition. Our whole team kept saying the same thing: these are some of the best chocolates we've ever had. If you're looking for a gift that truly impresses--or just want to treat yourself--this candy company is a gem. Highly recommend Valos Chocolate! read more

The best chocolate ever! Cute store with friendly staff! Especially delicious pecan turtles AND chocolate covered blueberries! read more

Cannot recommend this place enough. The employees are always very nice. Chocolate is the best around! It beats Sarris hands down. They had a former police officer directing parking since it's right before Easter. He was kind enough to carry my bag to the car without being asked so I could focus on getting my baby into the car. read more

The ladies that work there are so nice and accommodating. The chocolate is also delicious.

Wonderful assortment of dark & milk chocolates, smooth and creamy, delicious, great variety, good prices.

Fellow Yelpers, thank you very much for your reviews of Valos Candy, so I would know to try the business myself. :) Valos Candy was founded in 1947. It sells mostly chocolates, including boxed chocolates, chocolate bars, chocolate-covered pretzels, bark, sugar-free chocolate, and many other flavors of chocolates. Yesterday, I visited this business's website, and I ordered several types of chocolates. Today (yes, only one day later!), the packaged was delivered to me via the USPS. The shipping and delivery were very fast and cost only $8. Here are my reviews for the chocolates that I ordered: Raisin clusters - 4.5 stars - $11.49 for 7 ounces - These raisin clusters taste like fancy Raisinets. My husband thought that they should have a stronger flavor of raisins, but they did contain many raisins, and I enjoyed the flavor. On the box, I noticed that the font for the name "Valos" looks like "Valor". Holiday chocolate-covered Oreo - 5 stars - $1.39 - The Oreo cookie was very fresh, the milk chocolate tasted very good, and the colorful sprinkles looked pretty. Mint meltaway - 4.5 stars - $1.69 - Mint is not my favorite flavor, but I liked this candy. I felt surprised that the center was solid and that the chocolate and mint were very mixed together. Pecan turtle - 5 stars - $2 - This pecan turtle contained fresh milk chocolate and pecans and wonderfully gooey caramel. Peanut butter meltaway - 5 stars - $2 - I liked the flavors of the milk chocolate and the peanut butter center. Holiday mini pretzels - 5 stars - $1.79 - I really enjoyed the combined flavors of the milk chocolate and the salty pretzels. Please note that Valos Candy's products are sold not only in their store and on their website but also at Giant Eagle grocery stores and even in some pharmacies and flower shops. read more

Valos Chocolates - Raisin clusters and several other chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - New Kensington, Pennsylvania

Very nice chocolates. I never knew this place existed! Valos also sells their chocolates in some Giant Eagles (like the one in Verona). It's not too expensive and definitely quite high quality. I tried out their caramel coated in milk chocolate and solid milk chocolate candy made without sugar. For a sugar free candy, this one was very good! Yes, you can definitely tell it's not the same as a regular chocolate made with tons of sugar, but it's 80% there. I'm glad they make items like this for those who are more health-conscious (its only 130 calories for a decent sized chocolate, and it will satisfy your sweet tooth). The texture is a bit tough but still very good. I also really liked the caramel chocolates. This was a thick candy and also had a pretty decent price. The milk chocolate tasted perfect. Creamy, sweet, melts in your mouth. And they use loads of caramel (which does make it a bit tough to eat. Also, this caramel isn't like Sarris where it oozes out when you open the chocolate; it's quite solid). It will surely satisfy and caramel craving you have. All in all, nice to have a great chocolatier like this in New Kensington. You could even find some of their candies in local shops, like Verona Giant Eagle. Great quality and decent prices! read more

See all

By the way, the milk chocolate nonpareils (Valpareils) are delicious. And I recently had a chance to try the white chocolate that Valos makes. They do it right! Creamy, tasty and not too sweet. Nice! Better than Betsy Ann. Better than the overrated, overpriced Sarris. Actually the best local chocolates I've had. Especially the dark chocolate. Not too sweet. Great texture. You have to try the handmade nonpareils. I have only one issue. Their retail store is only open seasonally. So it's hard to find this wonderful stuff! More retailers need to carry this tasty, locally-made chocolate. read more

Love this quaint shop. So many choices and all of it is worthy of a trip- Don't miss the chocolate covered espresso beans ! read more

My wife drove an hour to pick up chocolate covered strawberries from there store, and when she arrived they told her that they messed up and set the order for next week. Now it is the day of her mothers birthday and she doesn't even have overpriced chocolates for the gift. They offered no compensation or real fix option would not recommend going here! read more

I got a box of Chocolates from my Landlord for Christmas I had not heard of this little "gem" of a candy company but the Chocolate is very rich and creamy not waxy and artificial.I plan on stopping by someday in the future. read more

Valos Chocolates - They taste as Yummy as they look! - Candy Stores Near Me - New Kensington, Pennsylvania

This place used to be good. They claim to only use the "finest ingredients". Really? Then why do you use artificial flavoring in your chocolate? Why do you use vanillin instead of actual vanilla? Avoid Valos and try an actual fine chocolate place rather than people who skimp on quality and then claim they don't. read more

Not entirely sure what the last reviewer is talking about. I've had a lot of chocolate from a lot of places, and I have to say that Valos makes some of the best I've tasted. I try to stop once a week or so to pick up goodies, and they are always on point. Highly, highly recommend their dark chocolate. Great place and great staff! read more

Their candy apples and biscotti are the best around.I send their candy to family around the country. I won't buy chocolate anywhere else.

I just had a chocolate covered marshmallows for the first time and I thought it was really good.

My coworker and I tried the caramel bar and the peanut bar today. The caramel was thick and chewy. We were pleasantly surprised. As for the peanut bar, they didn't skimp on the nuts, and you could taste the freshness. Would definately buy again. read more
