I will admit it . . . I am a chocolate snob! I have had…read moreBelgian chocolates, Italian chocolates... And many other liqueur chocolates, chocolate covered cocoa beans, homemade caramels, creams covered in Lush dark chocolate or light chocolate even white chocolate. Last weekend I was at my parents in Altoona. On the coffee table was an intriguing black box of chocolates. I opened the box and saw these adorable perfect little morsals staring up at me. The 1st piece I tried was obvious... A dark chocolate Carmel with a sprinkle of sea salt on top. Ooh, !!!! As I placed it on my tongue, The melting started immediately. Followed by my mouth watering as my brain reacted to the pure joy of the perfect combination of texture and taste of the Dark chocolate . Next came the savory salt that had secretly melted in to the chocolate. Last was the smooooth soft luscious caramel. Perfectly sized with the amount of chocolate and salt. This is the kind of Carmel you don't chew. It just sat in my mouth for few minutes and melted away like it was made to do. Leaving me amazed and satisfied, wondering why I had never had these Chocolates before. Each little chocolate is home made locally in Altoona PA on a small side street. In a small quaint building with a small store front. On my way home to Orangeville, I decided to check out their web sight. It was so simple and user friendly. I decided to order Each of my BFF girl friends a small box as a thank you for them for being in my life. I received my order in 2 days, neatly packaged and perfect. This weekend at a get together, I gave them to my girl friends. As they opened the boxes, the aroma of chocolate lofted through the air. Each 1 tasted a chocolate and the ooooos and awwwws followed. I tell this story because the little shops with great talent go unnoticed, until they are sitting on someone's coffee table. If you have someone special in your life . . . I am telling you they would appreciate this box of perfect chocolates. #wortheverypenny #chocolate #MarCiaschocolate #Valentinesday MarCiaschocolates.com

Traveled from NC to visit family and could not wait to get some of their chocolate. First thing I…read moreremembered were the chocolate covered pretzels. Perfect amount of salt on the pretzel and the chocolate is creamy, not gritty or too sweet. Next we wanted to try the peanut butter cup- WOW- I think it may be their peanut butter fudge inside. It was amazing. The flat chocolate lollipops were sooooooo good. Can't wit to go back or order online. I could spend my paycheck in here for sure. Someone who has everything needs a gift- this place has it all!¡ Clean, organized and super friendly. Will return for sure.

I havent been in Ebensburg since 1986 (Mids opned in 1988) but I do look at business and homes in the town and came upon Mids.

Does a fat a** like myself need freshly made chocolates with pecans and almonds or creamy caramel or buttery toffee squares. No but the holidays are approaching and I am a person that loves to share so with thins pound box of chocolates I am a giver and also an eater! I chose to customize my pound box but there are boxes of creams or boxes of cordial cherries. You name it it can be had! Chocolate delights are hand crafted in house. An additional basement level is utilized for the chocolate factory. How cool is that! Mids can be shipped anywhere even over seas so with the holidays around the corner why not order a box of home made chocolates and thank me later! As Mid (the owner) says, "Life is short...Make it sweet!" I did just that and cant wait to enjoy a taste of back home. Thanks Mid! Angelo and Nancy Papalias granddaughter from florida Nancy

This review should have been posted a few weeks ago but my schedule didn't allow me to actually sit…read morestill to do so ...I wanted to ensure I had the time to truly explain how amazing my experience has been with this Company. To start, I live in Philly & my daughter was Penn State Altoona at the time & on 4/26/26 she turned 20yrs old and this was the first time I wasn't going to celebrating with her and being hands on with all the plans. But with the secret help of her College Friends I was able to plan an amazing Birthday weekend in state college for all of them to enjoy but the most stressful thing was find her the perfect Cake!! Her friends wanted to go to pick one up from a Supermarket but because I wasn't going to be there I wanted to make everything about her Bday super special and a market cake wasn't going to work unfortunately in addition they were college kids with no vehicles I didn't want to put that taste on them and it may or many not get done. I was now less then 2wks from her Bday weekend and just now starting the search for the perfect "I'm sorry Mommy couldn't be there but hopefully this amazingly crafted artwork now called your Bday Cake makes up for it" type of Cake. So my 3-4hrs long search begun..I needed to find a Bakery that could make her a cake that not only looked good but tastes even better (I have been disappointed in the past so my research was on the First 48 level, ...a bad cake can ruin entire Bday in my opinion. In addition, I needed discreet delivery services. After hours of searching, reading reviews & scanning every social media accounts as well as any and all websites that mentioned their names to ensure all T's were crossed and the reviews were actually verified by real people before choosing Dolce Vita Desserts. Their designs were all so creative & beautifully done and after emailing a few times with Anthony he not only confirmed my specific request but he also ensure that they could/would customize to design I preferred..so I took two Of their designs (because I loved them both and couldn't decide one over the other) and made it one :) I also explained to Anthony my need desperately need for delivery ..( their site mentioned how delivery was limited) I was willing to send it as uber package delivery even I was praying I wouldn't have to do that. But, Anthony not only approved my delivery he also advised me to touch bases with the Hotel staff and provide them with the box dimensions to ensure their fridge would be able fit/store and also gave specifics on how to properly store ...information I didn't even think to consider. I whole heartily appreciate all that Anthony has done to help make my daughter's Birthday super special. Everything was executed seamlessly, even down to the delivery confirmation email I received from Both Dolce & the Hotel. My daughter not only loved her surprise bday weekend but she was in love with her cake!! I ordered the 6" inch round white cake with strawberry preserves. I thought that since only my daughter & 3 of her friends were celebrating with her that they would take the left over cake to share with others at their dorm but she told me the cake was so good they devoured it. Not one crumb was left. Which was done after making a photo shoot with the cake! She loved everything about that cake! My only regret...is the fact that I wasn't able to try it myself! I recommend Dolce Vita Desserts to every one! You won't be disappointed!!

Set up kind of like one of those in a mall, but better. Of course I had myself a bag and filled it with all the essential candy one may chew on. Sour patch kids, chewy Sprees, gummy worms, Swedish fish, and the list goes on and on. They also have packages of candy too. No need to mix and match if that's not your thing. They make their own chocolates, and the display case inside was filled with very delightful items. I was tempted to ask for one of each, but I was able to keep myself in check. There are already packaged chocolates so you can just grab and go. If you want a certain mix of chocolates they are more than happy to oblige.
