When looking for something unique to Pennsylvania when to bringing gifts to friends that are out of state or overseas, Asher's has always been my go-to place for chocolate-covered pretzels. The quality of chocolate coming out of Asher's is top-notch and many people I know enjoy it because the taste of chocolate is strong without being overly sweet. The prices are quite reasonable. If you don't care about the presentation, you can buy the bags of loose chocolates on their shelves for a cheaper price. They offer seasonal specials and occasional sales, so it's wise to ask what specials they're offering that day. The store front is the main area to shop from, but you may be able to sign-up for the tours and view the chocolate production process yourself, which I've participated in and enjoyed in the past. read more

Asher's is the sweetest place to shop and eat! Their chocolate covered pretzels are a fan favorite. They also have many other prepackaged selections, including sugar free options. They also have options to pick single chocolates and boxed them... an assortment. Now they maybe a little pricey but, they are worth it. Asher's chocolates is good quality! The employees were really helpful especially when it came to picking out chocolates. The interior has a sweet scent of chocolate. Almost like being on the Hershey Chocolate world... just Asher's. Looking for gifts... this is the spot! read more

Asher's chocolates has been in business since 1892. This makes them one of the oldest running chocolate businesses in the country. Asher's is still considered a family run business. They take a lot of pride in their products. The raw cocoa beans are made and processed at a plant not too far away, and the liquid chocolate is transported on a truck similar in size to a fuel tank truck to the production factory here in Souderton, PA. Very detailed and meticulous care is followed. From aseptic techniques to make sure all machines are impeccably clean to strict quality control measures to ensure consistency in the quality of each product. All shipments are sent out from the plant, all over the country. Careful supply chain management is followed to make sure every batch is freshly made before shipping. Asher's has a great reputation for quality chocolates. Very hard to compare to others on the market. You will always find Asher's at department stores and specialty confectioners. I personally love this brand, and I totally recommend you try some. I love the chocolate covered pretzels!! read more

Asher's Chocolates - Mascot, Gerry Cordial - Candy Stores Near Me - Souderton, Pennsylvania

Asher's is a national treasure. I've had Belgian chocolate and chocolate all over Europe and Asher's is still by far my favorite

Darlene is awesome, knowledgeable, professional and a positive asset to Asher's in Souderton. I'm handicapped and she always goes out of her way to accommodate me. She gets 10 stars out of 10!!!! Steve read more

Terrific chocolate-covered pretzels and chocolate-dipped peanuts alike! (My sister-in-law in Kansas City, Missouri is crazy about Asher's Pecan Paws, but her hubby prefers the dark chocolate-dipped pretzels.) (We live in Oklahoma City, but usually order our boxes of Asher's from The Farris Wheel in Wichita, Kansas.) Five easy Yelp stars for this Pennsylvania-based chocolatier! read more

The minute you walk into this store you are quickly transported back to childhood as you inhale the sweet smell of chocolate. Allow yourself plenty of browsing time, as there is much to so much to see! I went in looking for the perfect hostess gift for Thanksgiving and had many wonderful options. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I definitely will be back for Christmas! They had beautiful holiday cards at a very reasonable cost. Thank you Darlene for your help! read more

Been having it my whole life and didn't even know it! Went on a tour recently and met one of the Ashers. Was surprised by how regimented and organized, this family business was. I guess you never think about what happens at the chocolate factory only what's in your hands! This Asher was very knowledgeable and friendly to all of us that had questions. The rest of the staff was kind as well, from the line workers changing the machinery settings, to the ladies separating and boxing the various items, to the cashiers. Very much have the vibe of a family business. I would highly recommend checking out their chocolates, honestly the coconut clusters are addictive! Also enjoyed the chocolate covered pretzels and bars. Was nice to support a Pennsylvania business & they seem to be involved in the area (with events--beer gardens and the like) read more

Definitely fantastic chocolates but the prices are astronomical. If you don't mind spending the money then this place is golden. They have a bunch of items that are misshapen or broken for a little less money but not much. read more

Really fun place to visit. The tour is self guided. So you basically just watch different videos and look inside the windows is the factory. Nothing too great. But the candy....the candy is amazing. The pecan paws are probably the best candies I've ever eaten. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I give them a 2 star review. The candy rates a 5, but the customer service on their best day is a 1. I placed an order this morning, a gift, and specified where it was to be shipped (Illinois). Paying with PayPal, when PayPal returned me to Asher's web site, the shipping address had been changed to my address. At that time the sale was complete, no opportunity to review and make changes. I will say, PayPal returning my address to the web site is not Asher's fault. Here's my problem: I have called 3 times, leaving a message each time, trying to get someone to talk with to resolve the shipping address issue. As I write this, I've been waiting for just under 5 hours for that phone call! I'd cancel the order if someone would answer the phone or call me back! Totally irresponsible way to do business. read more

We've tried many different chocolates over the years, but none are as consistently delicious as Asher's!!! The pretzels, peanut butter cups, almond bark, giant chocolate covered marshmallow... all THE BEST! And the customer service is top notch as well. So lucky to have them in our area. read more

I am assuming the chocolate is good, so 2 stars. For the irresponsible, environmentally unfriendly packaging, -1. I would not have ever ordered this if I knew I was going to end up with plastic bags, a large cardboard box, sheets of heavy duty bubble wrap, a large freezing bag, and a huge Styrofoam box. Two 6.5 oz bags of chocolate! I have ordered chocolate over the internet before and never had this kind of packaging. read more

Asher's Chocolates - Absurd packaging for two 6.5 oz bags of chocolate covered pretzels. - Candy Stores Near Me - Souderton, Pennsylvania

Ashers is the best!! Growing up 2 minutes down Allentown Road, I always came here to get chocolate and other sweets! While I unfortunately never have had the chance to go on the tour (yet at least), I have been to the shop plenty of times. There's so much to look at and to discover, not even I have tried it all yet! My personal favorite is the Nonpareils, the best I ever had. The different chocolates and sweets also make for good gifts for the holidays, they get shipped all over!! The factory/store is located off of Allentown Road and sits on Wambold and Schoolhouse Road. It has decent parking and is located very close to the turnpike too! It's crazy to think I grew up so close to an awesome chocolate factory, and I know it will continue to be a staple for years. If you are ever in the area, stop by!! It will be worth it. read more

Standard candy, but unfortunately, after a long drive to get there, not particularly special-tasting. There was nothing of a small candy store taste to these for us. Had we known this was a plant/factory as opposed to a little 'ol candy shop, we wouldn't have made the trip. The candy made at small, family businesses (like Stutz Candies in Hatboro and Warrington, or Bevan's in Media) is a lot more handmade tasting, seems more fresh, and definitely tastes a lot better. Those other places make candy that is a special treat for us, but Asher's big-factory style candy was on par with what you get in a box of at the drug store, just as processed and preserved-tasting, except a lot more expensive. Wish it had been better, we were hoping for a yummier experience. read more

The chocolate tastes a lot like Russell Stover or See's. Raspberry truffles and maple cream filled taste like fake flavoring not actual raspberry or maple. Probably wouldn't buy again. read more

Asher's Chocolate factory gave me the best chocolates ever. when I had a strawberry chocolate I normally have to much strawberry flavor or to little flavor but Asher's brought me the perfect flavor and it has such a strong smell but it smelled and tasted so good. I would definitely come and eat again. if you want the world best chocolate. drive down to Asher's and you will get, not only the best tasting chocolate but the best priced. read more

Very quality ingredients in both sugar-free and regular chocolates. Delicious options.

Love this place. It's close and everyone is so helpful. Love the hurt dark chocolate pretzels

The price of the seconds cannot be beat. And, I am not sure that I would call a piece of chocolate with an "extra" dollop of chocolate on it a mistake - I call that a bonus! The selection of seconds varies a lot from day to day. But, they have firsts if you simply must have a particular type of chocolate. If you like a super bargain, go there a month after a big holiday. I have been there a month after Easter and they have first run chocolate eggs for 90% off. Of course, the varieties are limited but, you could end up with an incredible bargain. read more

Amazing chocolate selection. Whenever my family and I are visiting relatives in Souderton, we always make it a point to visit Asher's for a few treats to have during our trip (and also a few presents to take home to friends in California). Some of my favorites are their dark chocolate covered pretzels and graham crackers. A bag of their "wounded" pretzels is also a must :) Every employee we have come across in the gift shop is always so helpful and friendly. We'll be back for many more stops in the future! read more

I have always been a big fan of Ashers! From the time I was younger, my grandparents would take us there every time we came to visit to pick out special treats, so it holds a special place in my heart. I think it's a great little store with a wonderful group of employees. I like that you can go on a little tour and see the chocolates being made. Every time I come to visit, it's a must that we stop even if she just pick up a few pieces of candy for the hour ride home. They also ship which is wonderful to be able to share Ashers with my family in Florida who might not otherwise get to indulge. If you have time stop in, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

The store is adorable and finding what you need is easy and swift. The women at the register were friendly and relatable which is nice to see in the sales industry. Will be returning soon to pick up more goodies for work :) read more

Best chocolate and the delicious caramel covered marshmallows! My granddaughter loves the chocolate covered animal crackers.
