Truly a hidden gem. NC Chocolatier has always been one of those places I drive by daily and say…read morehey I'm going to stop by one day. Well that day came, and I'm forever grateful I did. Located in a small plaza and can be confusing with the Illinois Nut and Candy sign but when you walk in the sweet smell of chocolate fills the air. There are glass closures of bon bons/ truffles that I've learned are hand painted, chocolate covered everything, gelato and more. They also have taffy apples, some with just the caramel, some with nuts, some with chocolate chips. You can never go wrong! Their chocolate is kosher friendly and I'm obsessed with the cookie bark, I could eat that all day. Highly recommend going on one of their chocolate tours too that's available on sundays. Make sure you book first as I found out they do sell out. You get to learn the history of chocolate and make your own taffy apples and chocolate dipped goodies. They also ship nationwide, I am definitely going to order some goodies for birthdays coming up!

As you walk up, you'd think that it's just an average chocolate shop. But, this place is anything…read morebut average. Everyone was unbelievably kind. It felt as if I was appart of their family. The place was sparkling clean. There was chocolate as far as the eye could see. And, the chocolate fountain was amazing! I could swim in that stuff. Pure heaven! The bonbons were to die for! I got the blood orange one and it was decadent and delightful! It was zesty and sweet with a pop of bittersweetness from the rich dark chocolate. It was a dream. I couldn't recommend this place more! We started out the night with learning all about chocolate and how to make it. Then, we learned all about the history behind NC chocolate. Which, I found absolutely fascinating! After, we dipped cookies in chocolate and pretzels. Then, we got to decorate them! Which, I loved! It felt as if I was a kid in a candy store. Then, we got to make our own caramel apples covered in peanuts, cookies, or cereal. Which, was a blast! After, we were given lots of samples and treats to take home. Along, with a swag bag! Thank you, Kesha, and NC company for making this wonderful experience possible!

The crushed nut ones are nutty and flavorful, but not overly oily like what you'd expect with western peanut butter. And the red candies were chewy and lightly sweet and sour. The texture is just right, not too hard or soft, and leaves a clean after taste. I can't rave enough about this candy store. I loved everything I've tried so far. Loved how it is rich in variety and depth of labor, the texture is just right and not overly sweet or greasy. I ordered some pastry for a party and every guest loved them!

Over the years, a technically proved to be cheaper than buying the three packs from the grocery stores or even buying cases elsewhere. This location also has lots of different options and choices for apples beyond just caramel or peanuts. It is disappointing though to read a lot of the recent reviews about apples being purchased that have gone bad. On my last visit here a few years back I will say that there was no longer a savings in purchasing directly from them, and or purchasing a case, as opposed to purchasing the packs of three from the grocery stores. I still gave them the five stars because I absolutely respect and love the company and what they do. Their product is still incredible and unique. When I lived out of state, it was so easy to order an entire case from here and ship it all the way to Honolulu and it did arrive in perfect intact condition.

Everything in the store is kosher, some items are dairy (dairy items are clearly labeled) and the staff is knowledgeable about allergens and can guide you appropriately if you inquire. Prices? Well, if you want cheap candy, go to the supermarket. Candy Squared is a boutique selling upscale candy with fine presentation, and it tastes at least as good as it looks, so in my opinion, the prices are very reasonable for what you're getting. In addition to everything else, Candy Squared is a woman-owned, local, independent business that's well worth supporting.

I'm rating It'Sugar a 1-star because the service was so poor I was not able to enjoy the store or even purchase an item. My son and I walked into this establishment exploring all the different options. We walked around for about 10-15 minutes and noticed that there was no one in the store - NO ONE AT ALL. Someone eventually comes out of the backroom on her phone, walks right past us, does not greet us, and walks out of the store. I was slightly confused thinking she'd be right back. My son and I eventually pick out a few goodies, walk up to the register, and wait. And wait. And wait some more. Eventually, we end up putting our things back, and leave. Once we walk out, we see the store associate talking to a vendor right outside of the store. We were extremely disappointed. My son wanted to come back but that was just the poorest customer service I've ever had.
