Elan's candy is delicious! I tried a 3 pack and enjoyed each selection. When I walked in there was no wait. They have a glass counter/display that shows their options. I checked their website first see what I wanted to try. I noticed they closed early in the season and they're off during the summer. That's a bummer! I wish they had staff who could accommodate the summer crowd! read more

I recieved a beautiful box of Elan Chocolate Candies for Christmas from my Husband and they brought such joy to us. We had the varriety of candies and all were fresh, using creamy dreamy chocolate and the crisp of the taffy. Although the chocolates were shelf stable, they did not last us very long. Lovely packaging and love local small businesses. Thank you Elan Candies. read more

So on a quick side note Elan Candies was suppose to be my #100 review in 2013 because I love this place so much but somehow I got behind with my reviews and I now sit here writing this as my #83...so close but so far away...sad face:( Now to the review! Wow I can't believe there's no reviews yet for Elan Candies, this is some top notch rich buttery toffee made with roasted Georgian pecans here people! Only open October - April, they don't sell this amazing candy in stores so you must order online or come into the store where they are making it. Cash or Check ONLY They sell them in one pound, half pound and 1oz mini boxes. You can get a box of just toffee called Elan, or dipped in Milk Chocolate or dipped in Dark Chocolate. You can get a box with all 3 inside (called Triple Mix) or anyway you like. I love the toffee all the ways they make it and usually always get myself a one pound Triple Mix every year for the holiday....and I don't share mine but I do buy a lot of my friends and family some as gifts. They can also throw a cute bow on top and make it look even prettier for a cost starting at $1-$2.25 BTW Elan in French means: With a flair read more

I don't normally like toffee. As a kid it was my mother's favorite and a chocolate lover, I would pinch her stash from time to time but was chronically disappointed. Then came Elan. My husband brought a box home the other day and once I saw it was toffee I was prepared to take it to work. Not to seem ungrateful, I tried one. It was very good. The toffee isn't as hard as traditional toffee. And the pecans give it a richer flavor. The chocolate is also tasty. I see why this spot is beloved by so many. read more

Their products are absolutely delicious but I recommend double checking your orders before getting them home. This is the second time I've asked for boxes of milk chocolate Elan and received mixed boxes instead (i.e. half the box had milk chocolate and the other half was plain toffee with no chocolate coating). This is an expensive gift/treat and to get the wrong items twice is a huge disappointment. I hope they will try to do better in the future. read more

I stopped by Pink Elephant Cupcakes to find out what kind of frosting is used in its desserts. The frosting used is standard and too sweet for my liking. I found it a bit pricey for a standard size and quality cupcake. A single cupcake is $3.50, a 4-pack is $14, a 6-pack is $21, and a dozen is $36. I would expect these prices for more gourmet quality cupcakes. It is a typical cupcake, which is fine for most people, especially kids and those with a sweet tooth. There are a lot of flavors to choose from as well. My favorite is the signature cupcake, the Pink Elephant, which is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and pink glittery sprinkles.
