We ended up getting a gluten and dairy free ice cream sandwich, some chocolates, and a small peanut butter pie. The ice cream sandwich was AMAZING. 10/10. I liked some of the chocolates better than others- definitely the fluffernutter one was delicious. We haven't tried the pie yet, but I'm definitely excited. This is definitely a great place for gluten and dairy free sweet treats!

While on route to Andover, we noticed a free standing Munson's store on the side of the road. An…read moreinteresting placement, but I understand this is their original location since the late 1940s. This is the Munson's factory location. This is where they manufacture all of their delightful chocolates and distribute them across all Munson's stores. The inside is filled with all sorts of truffles, barks, raisin covered chocolates. They had a whole line of chocolate lovers waiting their turn. Once it was my turn, the young man behind the counter asked what I would like and in what size box. I got mostly dark chocolate covered raisins and just a few truffles. Everything is sold by weight. For fancy, premium, locally owned chocolate this is very appropriately priced. If you like chocolate you'll love Munson's, if you looovvvvvveee chocolate you'll be in heaven with each bite. The truffles are rich and creamy, with outstanding notes of orange, raspberry, or mint. If you haven't yet tried Munson's, please do, or give them to a very happy recipient as a gift!

I had the opportunity to visit their Bolton location located on Route 6 (after a visit to the Ren faire). Bolton may not be their original location from the 1940s, but its the store situated next to their factory that sources all chocolate to their other locations. The outside of the store is BEAUTIFUL and big. You can't miss it when you drive by. I promise. I know because I've driven by it like 10x over the last 15 years and just never pulled the trigger. Well I'm I finally did. The inside of that store is also BEAUTIFUL, modern and immaculate. The chocolate options behind the glass displays and in other sections to the left and right give you overwhelming amount to choose from. My daughter and I literally spent an 45 min - 1 hr in the store just to decide what we wanted for a take home treat. They work with UCONN so they have some UCONN themed or packaged products (Storrs campus is just 25 min down the street). They have packages for that special someone and other themed wraps/baskets. To get the most bang for our buck we ended up going with the "leftover" bags which were broken pieces of various chocolates during the production. Beat decision as it allowed us to try different chocolates. They even have a wall on right when walking where you read about their history with a digital sign. You HAVE to visit this location, you wont regret it. Some of the best chocolate I've had from a local chocolate shop.

We love getting gift sets for our foodie friends, especially the pancake mix/syrup/mixing bowl combo. You can also take advantage of big "end of season" sales, and they are so generous with free samples (while following Covid safety procedures), or you can be adventurous and try something new. We just stocked up in pepper jelly, sugar plum jam, and yummy drink mixers (lemon drop, blueberry lemon mint and pomegranate cosmo), and some mustard dipping sauces and mustards. Run, don't walk there!

We stopped into Munson's Chocolates to pick up a few chocolates. They sell by the pound, so the…read moreprices for pieces are pretty reasonable. The service is super friendly, and explained to us how their line worked for allergens. We tried the tiramisu, mint, dark chocolate, and caramel truffles, along the peanut butter cups. The truffles thicker outer chocolate shell than I'm used to, but the flavors are very good. The peanut butter cup was delicious, and I love how the caramel truffle was mixed with ganache so it wasn't straight caramel in the middle. The boxing was a little weird, as they just stacked them on top of each other. A great place to pick up some chocolates!

They also carry beautiful greeting cards to help with your gift shopping. At checkout I was offered a salted caramel chocolate sample that didn't make the photo because I ate it immediately. I highly recommend this establishment as I'm a frequent shopper here. This is their Evergreen Walk location. I've also been to their store in Bolton, CT which is their headquarters where everything is made.

There are isles of international cookies, chocolate and other goods. There's also beautiful furniture, pillows and kitchen items. I personally wouldn't invest in a couch from World Market because it's typically very expensive, and you can find similar items at other retailers. But they have unique accent chairs and small attractive furniture items. My favorite thing to get here, in addition to the chocolate, are the Christmas ornaments. They are so, so beautiful, and so unique. There is so much detail in each one. Now that it's after Christmas, they are all 50% off, making each one around $2.50 - $4.00. If you have a World Market in your area, I'd encourage you go and check them out. While some items are more expensive, the unique items, hard to find items and the nostalgic items are what it's worth stopping for.
