    Foil wrapped eggs are so cute!

    I did not expect the inside of the store to be so adorable. I had to stop and by some Easter chocolate. Three associates had helped me at different times, one was very knowledgeable about the chocolate, where it was based etc. I got all of my shopping done and bought fabulous items. If you need anything Buffalo themed in candy, definitely stop here.

    Just love how creamy the chocolate is.The sponge candy is Devine and so is the chocolate truffalos.They also have an ice cream shop to indulge in serving yummy perrys flavors. You will always find something unique and delicious to try here, always such a treat !!

    Such a cute chocolate and ice cream shop, with fast and friendly service. I really enjoyed the delicious and creamy Sponge Candy plus the chocolate truffalos,which are amazing. The ice cream is perry's, and there is a lot to choose from.So come enjoy something sweet ,you will not be disappointed.

    For your protection I will not write you a 5 Star review.

    I suspected Fowl play when I first saw the prices of these chocolates. But now I realize that Fowler's are probably second only to Alethea's in terms of delicious Milk Chocolate Sponge Candy in the Buffalo region, which sort of is home to it, and where it was invented. Fowler's is very overpriced (like Alethea's), but unlike its crosstown rival, it has many locations, and is also used in Sponge Candy Ice Cream (made by local mega brand name Perry's). I'd definitely recommend trying Fowler's to anyone who likes chocolates, but bear in mind it will set you back a decent amount of money. This particular store is friendly and usually not too busy, but there are a few other locations I like even better.

    We received a one pound box of Fowler's Sponge Candy. The outside of the pink box mentions dark chocolate only, but there were two equal size pkgs inside and one is almost certainly milk chocolate. Is the interior supposed to be hard and gritty?

    Hi Alene, If your box only said dark chocolate and you had milk chocolate as well as dark chocolate, I would please ask the person who gave it to you, where they got it from and let us know so we can check our stock. The inside of sponge candy is… Read more

I walked around and didn't notice any plant based, allergy free options but that doesn't mean there aren't any, I just didn't see any as I made my walk through. What I did notice is that chocolate is ridiculously expensive and with all that I've learned about chocolate, I can't help but wonder if it's even chocolate. I didn't ask either... all I know for sure is that everyone says this place has the best chocolate in town so I'm here buying a few basket stuffers. Before coming here, I stopped at Fowler Chocolates around the corner and no one was there so this place must be the place to buy chocolate. I watched the ladies at the registers ask everyone before me if they were rewards members and when they said no, they asked if they'd like to be. They forgot to ask me though. I overheard someone say it was 10 percent off today, must've been for members only, I didn't get a discount. I will be enjoying my dark chocolate tonight though, thank you Wahl's.

I even got to try a sample of the peanut butter sponge clusters before purchasing which was great. The loganberry sponge is good but it tastes more like a raspberry to me than the traditional loganberry. It was still good and their sponge candy is some of the best I've ever had. It's perfectly sliced and covered on every corner so there are no dry spots. Very good production on the candy pieces.

The lady behind the counter was super polite and very helpful with my selections. I typically do my chocolate shopping at one of the competitors stores however I thought I would try Watson's chocolate and my first impression was very high. One of the items I purchased was orange sponge candy and she had a little concern that maybe some of it wasn't up to the high standards that they try to abide by so she asked if you check the box first. She explained that during the summer time sometimes sponge candy doesn't survive the trip for too long so no problem I said she gloved up and checked all of them, found a couple that weren't passing her quality control standards so she replaced them. I took that box and a couple of other selections, paid and left. One of the other items I tried was fudge meltaway which I had never actually had before. Personally my wife and I didn't care for it however that is probably just our personal palate coming into play as I'm quite certain it wasn't prepared improperly or anything. The coconut patties were very good and the orange sponge candy honestly some of it was kind of chewy. The fact that she had some concern over the quality of this and felt the need to check it kind of threw up a little bit of a red flag for me and after getting it home and having some I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed. I'm not by any means a connoisseur of sponge candy or anything however if what she said was true about it staying fresh during the summer months and obviously she had some concern that it may not have been, why wouldn't you just pull all of it off the shelf and make more? I mean I used to manage a restaurant and it's the same idea in my opinion, if you're not happy with the food going out, don't send it. I would rather have purchased just milk chocolate sponge candy and been reassured that they didn't have orange because it failed their quality check. So I took one star off what would have been a five star review for that reason, the other one I took off because I couldn't find the building. If you approach this location from the side that I did, the side that faces a little strip mall with a good sized parking lot, there is no signage of any kind anywhere that says hey this is a store that sells chocolate. It just looks like a house sitting on a separate property off to the side. My GPS said I was there, I'm driving around the parking lot for 5 minutes looking at all of the store fronts trying to find Watson's chocolate, and it doesn't exist. I finally put my GPS on walking directions and found myself approaching like I said what looked like somebody's big old house... And I didn't even feel comfortable doing that until I got about 6 ft from the door where there's a sheet of paper sized sign that says Watson's chocolate and has the hours posted. I mean seriously something that could be seen from the road would have been nice, something that could have been seen from the parking lot would have been even better. Apparently if you approached this from the other direction there's a great big sign so I would have had to have driven past it not realizing it and did a u-turn and then I would have said oh there it is. The lady working inside like I said was very super polite and I suggested that to her and she kind of looked at me and said the owners are aware of it but they haven't done anything about it yet. I'm guessing nobody local has a problem because yeah they probably know where this place is however I live over 3 hours away and didn't have a clue. So yeah I'm kind of mixed as far as my opinion of the actual chocolate, I might go back and try a couple other selections and see how they taste. If I do I will try a different sponge candy, maybe one that sells more often so the stock is rotated more often.

When you enter, if you take a left you end up in the Candy Shop, and if you take a right you end up at the Ice Cream Shop. We did a quick pass through of the Candy shop, they have quite the selection, and the lady who was working at the time was incredibly friendly. The candy itself seemed to be a bit on the pricy side for what it was. On to the Ice Cream shop! They had quite a decent selection of flavors, and the day happened to be buy 1 get 1 free Pie slice day, so that is what we did. We went for once slice of the Apple Pie, and one Slice of the Peanut Butter Pie, to share. While the price was good for the pies, considering one slice was free, both slices seemed stale, and the apple pie seemed well underbaked. It was very clean inside, and we had the place to ourselves. I love tipping for good service, when I paid, I tipped 20% even through the employee seemed less than thrilled we were there. Not certain what the tip was for as we ended up having to go grab our own desserts, as well as bus our own table.

I am in the process of building my mold collection. All four walls (and a little alcove) are lined with molds (of which I'm sure, some change for the season/holiday). There is even a section with a couple of boxes of molds that are on sale. Molds range from $1-up. With most being around $2.50. They carry Merkin chocolate at VERY good prices. Along with almost anything else you would need for candy making. Their oils are wonderfully priced, as are their boxes and wrap, and foils. It really is a one stop shop. A MUST if you are a candy maker! Best chocolate and nut prices I've seen! Can't wait to go back for more molds and other accessories.

Sadly disappointed at the customer service. I contacted the store for delivery specifics and I submitted an order online on the afternoon,12/16/25. I was informed by the (young sounding, likely high school age) employee that the orders usually ship 1-3 business days (according to the website US priority mail) but with the holiday may be up to 5 business days.....ok that will still work. I received an email shortly after I ordered online that the order was accepted and being processed. Card was charged on 12/17/25. Order was to have the items during the Christmas holiday. 12/27/25 No order arrived. I sent an email to address listed on website, inquiring about my order. STRIKE 1 12/30/25- NO response from mgt. STRIKE 2 12/30/25 called the store requesting to speak with a manager, request refused. Employee instructed me to send email to the address listed. I stated that had already had been done, had not received a reply, and requested again to speak with a manager, Denied. Employee stated and attempted to check store data base regarding order. Was told that they didn't have the access level to check deeper, Thus the reason to speak with a manager... No information, tracking regarding my order was accessed STRIKE 3 Was told it would be looked into and I would be notified via phone. I understand holiday is busy mail season, US Priority states 1-3 business days, 9 Business days later, no order arrived. Poor service and no confidence in any further order deliveries, based on my experience.
