Is it possible to give six stars? Northern Michigan is known for its fudge- the tourists are even…read moreaffectionately termed "Fudgies", because they buy and eat so much of it. Typically our family will buy a half pound slab or two of Murdick's Fudge, because it is everywhere up here in the Traverse Bay area. I am *devastated* that I wasted thirty-some-odd years of my life on such sub-par fudge. I had no idea. 45th Parallel's Candy World (Yelp administrators, please correct your spelling) is a tiny shop on the side of a restaurant, but it has a hundred years of memories inside. Everything from clove candy, bubble gum cigars, big league chew, sour pucker powder, and even a giant Sugar Daddy. But behind the case are around twenty flavors of truly decadent, top-quality, gourmet fudge. Flavors such as dark chocolate salted caramel, bubble gum, maple nut, and peanut butter chocolate (complete with halved Reese's cups on top) tease the eyes while making the salivary glands work overtime. Our family's favorite is the dark chocolate salted caramel- the perfect amount of sea salt, and not at all bitter. Check the board outside for specials: today's was "buy one pound, get 1/2 pound free". When you're in the Suttons Bay/Leelanau area, bypass Dam Candy and Murdick's and head STRAIGHT for Candy World!

I was excited for all the taffy at Mackinac Island, but definitely got my fill of taffy the day before here at The Taffy Barrel. It was such a fun activity for our 3 kids to fill buckets with every kind of taffy possible. Pickle taffy? Yes, it exists...and it's kind of good. They each got a bag and I couldn't resist a bag for myself, which I've been munching on for days ever since. I also got some taffy at the Kilwins in Petoskey and have to say The Taffy Barrel wins when it comes to the best taffy in the area. I know I couldn't come to Charlevoix without stopping here so highly recommend for others as well!!

I just could not believe the price - would have walked out if I didn't have three young boys eager for their treat. I live in a different tourist town just up M-22 and can get a cone of Moomer's for half the price and a larger serving size. The double scoop my boys received barely poked out of the cone. Price gauging is not a way to welcome tourists or honor locals in this community. I will not be going back here.

Want next level s'more's at your bonfire? Pick up some, or just enjoy straight out of the bag! The chocolate was better that average, worth consuming, but would've preferred some organic chocolate options. The Chai bar was very good, I love it was a collab with Great Lakes Tea & Spice in nearby Glen Arbor, would repurchase! Also tried the dark chocolate sea salt bark - expected it to have a noticible smoky flavor with the applewood smoked sea salt, it was too subtle/almost not there. The La Croix of sea salt. The vibe of the staff was a bit snooty? They seemed a bit judgy. Would I come back to Grocer's Daughter? Yes. Hopefully the judgmental air was a one-off situation!

The owner was very knowledgeable and walked us through the different products they offer, and were helpful with navigating our allergens. We got some dark chocolate bars, spicy bars, coco nibs and a variety of truffles. The dark chocolate bars that had spicy seasoning was the highlight for me, as the contrast with the heat and chocolate was exciting. The truffle flavors they have our unique, some of my favorite I tried being the burbon whiskey, uzu and pear ginger. Its a bit pricey but this is a shop that does everything in house and you can taste the love put into their products. i would highly recommend stopping in for some artisan chocolate!
