Absolutely wonderful place, our family were in Watertown for a day out with our toddlers, zoo,…read morelunch, playground, ice cream kind of day, well when we yelped to see what's around for ice cream shops this place came up. We love to try out new places so we chose it. No regrets here - first of the product, ice cream was the best I have had to date, really yummy, second very kid friendly place - toys, kid books, little tool set, small picnic table for littles. Owner very pleasant and friendly. Tried to accommodate our picky toddlers and provided them with a ball to play. Such a relaxed environment, it was very easy to enjoy icecream, while our kids played and went back and forth between grabbing a mouthful of icecream and going back to play. Place radiated with positive atmosphere and relaxed demeanor, just loved everything about it. No stress just icecream and fun! If you are in the area give this place a chance. Oh and they offer other treats like chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels, rice crispies and thos place has a promise of smoothies, I am personally looking forward to that too. I had full intention of taking photos of my ice cream and kids having fun but I was too busy enjoying both. I'll have to co.e back with my real camera next time and take photos. You will not regret trying this place out - it's a little gem.

This place is dangerouslyyyyy good! I got some truffles the other day that didn't even make it…read morehome! The owner is really friendly and great. Plus they are open through most of winter so highly recommend checking this place out!!

I want candy. Willy Wonka ain't got nothing on this place…read more Fudge and all sorts of candies. I always get their fresh fried mini donuts(so good). The fudge assortment is extensive. My fave is Orange cream. (Who my try to kid I love them all) the ones with nuts or the plain JUST TO MUCH TO CHOOSE.. Great tasting sweets and made in Old Forge NY. They also sell candy cigarettes and that's an old time candy. They do sell other things as well. They don't just sell candy you can get a stuffed animal while your there. Really it is also a souvenir shop. But popcorn and candy is why I keep going back. Small store with a small town charm. I visit Old Forge 4 to 5 times a year and we stop every time we are in Old Forge

I'm a white chocolate girl. He's a dark chocolate man, but the pecan caramel fudge and both white and dark nailed it for us. In addition we bought some cappuccino truffles for another night with a great bottle of red wine. Service was amazing. They gave us samples, we were lucky to be on a Wednesday during the fall season when it wasn't so busy, but it felt like somebody's mother's kitchen while we were there! Small place, very welcoming, and it seemed like many people were congregating near the kettle corn which we did not sample or buy. Fun day, welcoming town and now enjoying our fudge!

Ok, so I saw this cute video on YouTube about viral blue cream chocolates. I loved the look of the…read morecandies and the process of making them, and figured I'd try them out ... just once on a whim. My wife light heartedly teased me, "you did not just spend $$ on a box of candy from an unknown shop on the other side of the country!" I was worried about them surviving the trip to Fresno. Well, they arrived today, perfectly intact with a tiny bit of chill left in the cooler pack to keep them that way. My wife tried one (it's up to four, I think, now), and then she wanted to know the name of "this shop I found". She immediately dug up the shop's website and began picking favorites. Hercules now has two solid fans now in Fresno. My wife has been looking for years for a chocolate experience she's missed for all that time, and these provided that. It's fantastic that you can order light, dark, or mixed as well as creams, nuts, or mixed to get exactly the variety you like best. We got all dark and a mix of fillings. They are perfectly sweet without being cloyingly so. And both the chocolate and the cream inside are so smooth without a hint of the crystalization present in even premium brand mass-produced chocolates (think Godiva). I should probably add that I love them, too. But I had a feeling I would watching them being made, so that was kind of expected. The red creams are amazing! There were some crunchy toffee ones that I really loved as well. I haven't hit a blue one yet like in the video, oddly enough, but there are plenty more to go! We will definitely be having more shipped out this way before the 100°F summer months make that too risky.

I've not been personally but I've been watching on YouTube for about 8 months and I had to order…read more 1. Very Cherry creams covered in Milk Chocolate.
