I was traveling in Germany with my college-aged children, and my daughter is a gummy bear fanatic…read more When I found out that they were made in Germany I immediately tried to fit a factory tour into our plans. Unfortunately, our itinerary made that impossible, BUT we were passing this outlet store location on our way from Dresden to Coburg so it was a mandatory stop! Our GPS struggled to find it - so we just put in Wilkau-Hasslau first, and when we got close we put in the street address and it finally found it. This is tucked away in a little neighborhood, but SO worth it. It was filled to the brim with all sorts of gummies - some shapes we had never seen before (unicorns? Pugs?) Big tubs, small packages, all sorts of container sizes too. And compared to the prices in the states for a tiny little package of gummies, the prices were amazing! We bought a big, heavy tub of gummies for less than a 1/2 ounce package here! So we certainly stocked up! And to be honest - later in the trip, I was regretting not purchasing more while we were there! So if you love gummies, it is worth the stop!!

Came into Camondas Schokoladen - right off the Dresden Market Square and found a wide variety of…read morefrench & local, Saxon chocolates We selected some delicious, local marzipans! One was a sweeter variety & the other less so but both were equally delicious & would not hesitate to get both again! They also had a chocolate bar in the back where they were pouring drinking chocolate - we did not get to taste but promised ourselves a return visit! Plenty of seating right outside to enjoy the sun & afternoon.....be sure to make Camondas a stop on your agenda!

We were visiting Dresden, and just walking through the streets looking at the sights and the shops…read more Then we walked by a big window with the most amazing chocolate sculpture inside - we just had to go in! The store is filled with every type of chocolates imaginable, light, dark, white, prewrapped or in containers, or pick by the piece. The selection of truffles alone was to die for! It was an incredibly hot day when we were there, and we knew if we set foot outside with chocolate it would be a melted mess in minutes, so we had to restrain ourselves. We bought a selection of chocolate dipped caramels in different flavors - just enough for a quick snack, not enough to melt in our pockets! The works of art in chocolate displayed around the store were brilliant - stop in to see them if nothing else! Definitely make the effort to stop in!

very nice small chocolate and pralines manufacture…read more interesting flavors in great variety.
