The smell that will greet you as you open your car doors upon arrival are alone worth the drive, and you may notice an extra jump in your step as you approach the entrance. The store itself is lovely, and the candies inside? Well. Ladies. Need I say more?
These candies and chocolates are made right in the factory behind the store, so freshness will never be an issue.

These ultra-high quality and eye-catching chocolates are handmade in small batches, using only the finest ingredients found all over the world. With flavors like birthday cake, vanilla bourbon, chocolate-dipped strawberry, and lemonade, these flavors will tempt even the angriest of wives into speaking with you again.
