The sweetest place on earth is the Russell Stover Candies store here in Tennessee…read more For many, many years my dear wife has claimed her birthright to explore this store. Local folks will know that a recent Buck-ee's has greatly impeded the travel in this area. The north bound road from Sevierville may back up for miles due to a recent stoplight granting access to Buck-ee's. This is a very dangerous area; be alert. Now, poor Russell Stover's looks nearly abandoned because visitors do not want to chance a chocolate detour. What was Tennessee Thinking? Surely a metropolitan sky bridge would be applicable; or perhaps new garage which might tele-port customers would be an improvement. Great chocolate for those who would risk great dangers.

I visit this place a couple times a year, it's usually a good visit and I'm happy with the products…read morethey offer. I shopped on March 3, 2026. I usually buy from the overstock and expired section and I know what I'm getting for the lower price. However, this time they were featuring Dubai chocolates. 7 pcs. for $10.00 in the front of the store. I really wanted to try them and they were offering a buy 3 bags (7 pcs per bag) and get a free bag. I grabbed 4 bags at a cost of $32.97 NOT CHEAP! I got them home and wanted to eat one so I checked the expiration date to see if there might be one I should open first. To my shock, the bags all featured an expiration date of .... MARCH 1, 2026. So they were expired when I bought them and I paid full price for them! This is unacceptable. I likely will not be shopping here again if this is how they treat paying customers for high qualify chocolate.

I love a local gift shop, but Bradley's is so much more than that! What started as a chocolate shop…read morein 1995 has expanded into a local hub for Knoxville gifts, as well as jewelry, home decor, stationary, candles, baby goods/gifts, and an in-house chocolatier. They even create beautiful gift baskets for any possible special occasion. This is the type of spot I could spend hours in with a smile on my face, although they do have a user-friendly website that allows you to shop and order online with the option of both shipping or store pickup, too. While I could have purchased the entire store and died happy, I opted for chocolate this time around. After watching chocolate being made next door (glass windows inside the store that look into the "chocolate factory" area), I knew I needed to try the dark chocolate STAT! The workers behind the counter were so darn sweet (pun intended) and helpful. They offered samples galore and recommendations when asked. I ended up ordering dark chocolate caramels, nonpareil dots, peanut butter melts, and turtles. Everything was incredible, but my husband and I have been dreaming about the dark chocolate caramels (the round, gooey version...we didn't try the chewy caramels yet). I grew up obsessed with Sno-Caps candy, and their Dark Chocolate Dots are heavenly. The chocolate is just such good quality, better than any other chocolate shop I've tried thus far. Can't wait to go back for both sweet and gifts for loved ones.

We visited Baxley's Chocolates this weekend. First of all, the young woman who helped me was so…read morenice and enthusiastic about the ice cream flavors they sell. She made helpful suggestions and explained the flavor profile of each ice cream flavor I asked about, as if she was a sommelier. I ordered the horchata ice cream flavor in a waffle cone. It was creamy, milky, and had wonderful cinnamon notes. The other flavor had peanut butter. I think it was called peanut butter melt away. I heard it was good but I didn't try it because I was so happy with my own cone. I would definitely check out this spot if you're in the mountains near Sylva. Their homemade treats are yummy.

They make marshmallows, but also turtles (called catamount paws here), nut brittles, sugar plums, chocolate coated orange peel and ginger. They also make beautiful truffles including unique flavors such as lavender and scuppernong wine. You can take truffle making classes if you're in town; they have them for both kids and adults! They also ship their products, including special packaging for warm weather for an extra fee, so if you're not nearby you can still get a taste! The fellow at the counter was very friendly and chatty. Definitely a spot to stop in Sylva.

I can get them on the Jelly Belly website for less than half that! The one thing good I have to say is that their pralines are the kind I like most (really buttery tasting and dry/crumbly rather than sticky/chewy). But it was nearly $30 for 6 pralines and one small candy package for my kids. Communication was also difficult as the people there struggled with English and they didn't seem very friendly. We didn't buy any Jelly Bellies and left disappointed. I'm so sad because this used to be our favorite candy place in Pigeon Forge. Also, the prepackaged Jelly Bellies were $6.99 and we found them at the candy shop inside Dollywood for $3.99. Never imagined a shop inside a theme park would be so much cheaper than a standalone shop. It's like they don't want to sell anything.
