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.

Great staff. Great hospitality. Great products. Naturally, we walked into the Candy Apple & Chocolate Factory expecting more of the same. Unfortunately, that's not what we found. To be fair, the place itself is nice enough. It's clean, attractive, and exactly what you'd expect a candy shop in a tourist destination to look like. Shelves filled with sweets, chocolates, treats, and enough sugar to keep a small elementary school awake for a month. But once you get past the appearance, things become pretty ordinary. The candies were fine. Not bad. Not great. Just... there. Nothing stood out. Nothing made me think, "I need to bring some of this home," or "I can't wait to come back." In a town filled with specialty food shops and memorable treats, being forgettable is its own kind of problem. The bigger disappointment was the service. Nobody was rude, but the staff gave off the unmistakable vibe of people mentally clocked out an hour before their shift ended. You know the feeling. You're talking to someone, but they're already halfway home watching television. After the warm, enthusiastic service we'd received next door, the contrast was impossible to ignore. The entire experience felt like it was running on autopilot. The candy was average. The service was average. The overall experience was average. And that's really the best word for this place: average. If you're walking by and want a quick sweet treat, you'll survive. But if you're worried about missing some hidden gem of the Smokies, don't be. Save a few bucks. Skip the stop. The Fear of Missing Out can rest easy on this one. You didn't miss out. Three stars.

It's the best of both worlds: a chocolate shop meets gift shop. And guys, we may be in trouble! In my case, I happily joined everyone, not just for the shopping, but for the candy! If you're looking for an excuse to shop, just blame it on the kids and the chocolate! They have a wonderful area where children can sit and play while Mom, Grandma stroll around and check out all the unique gifts. I usually play with the grandkids while everyone else shops, and every once in a while, they even offer free samples. That's always a nice surprise! We never leave empty-handed. We always take home a box of chocolates, and yes, they are absolutely amazing! Everything is made fresh right there in the store, and you can really taste the quality. If you love chocolate, enjoy gift shopping, or are looking for a fun family-friendly place to visit, this is definitely the spot for you!

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.
