We stopped into Munson's Chocolates to pick up a few chocolates. They sell by the pound, so the…read moreprices for pieces are pretty reasonable. The service is super friendly, and explained to us how their line worked for allergens. We tried the tiramisu, mint, dark chocolate, and caramel truffles, along the peanut butter cups. The truffles thicker outer chocolate shell than I'm used to, but the flavors are very good. The peanut butter cup was delicious, and I love how the caramel truffle was mixed with ganache so it wasn't straight caramel in the middle. The boxing was a little weird, as they just stacked them on top of each other. A great place to pick up some chocolates!

Munson's is a local chocolate company in CT. Their chocolates are so fresh and delicious. It's a…read morewonderful place to purchase treats for anyone. They have non-chocolate candies. They also serve frozen chocolate dipped bananas and cookie ice cream sandwiches. The service is impeccable. The staff is truly friendly and professional, always happy to help. They offer free gift wrapping on purchases from the display cases. The store is very clean and it smells like pure chocolate!!!! They also carry beautiful greeting cards to help with your gift shopping. At checkout I was offered a salted caramel chocolate sample that didn't make the photo because I ate it immediately. I highly recommend this establishment as I'm a frequent shopper here. This is their Evergreen Walk location. I've also been to their store in Bolton, CT which is their headquarters where everything is made.

Do not sleep on this candy store! I wish I was able to take pics but with a toddler in hand…read moremesmerized by this place there was no way I was whipping out my phone to pause the fun and amazement my whole family had. Every candy here is curated from all over the world. You can find amazing Swedish candies to Italian hard candies. Everything is so organized and so fun to look at! It was so fun to ask questions about where all the candy comes from and even try a piece to see what to get! You can scoop your own bag and feel all the nostalgia or buy a prepared bag or individual pieces. There is so much to choose from it can definitely be overwhelming but the woman at the counter was so patient with us and gave us some really awesome suggestions! My daughter loved their play station and it was a serious relief she was occupied with that so I could focus on finding some goodies for the fam. We opted for a variety of their sour Swedish candy and a bag of Italian hard candies. We even got this gigantic gummy worm and my daughter was just mesmerized at us pulling it out of the container! Though it's definitely pricey you are getting high quality candy from all over the world. This shop is incredibly unique. You do get a discount if you shop at their bakery first so definitely do that because I'm telling you are about to spend a lot because everything is just so good! Definitely will be here again!

BouNom Emporium is a small candy shop, offering candy from around the world from Sweden, UK, Spain, and more. There is an awesome variety of gummy candy that you can scoop into your own bag. Raspberry Lemonade Skulls, Watermelon Gummy Sharks, Pineapple Grapefruit Rings, and other fun flavors and shapes. If you love Peach Rings, you would literally be a kid in a candy store here. My husband likes this kind of gummy candy and hand picked a few different types for him to try. Since I visited around Halloween, there were a lot of fun Halloween shapes like vampire teeth and candy corn. I was also really excited to find the Sakura Matcha Pocky. They also had some of my favorite Kit Kats too. This place is truly unique and I haven't been to another candy shop like it. I loved the fact that they weren't wall to wall full of candy because it gets overwhelming. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the Avon ares.

It was just a little better than OK for me. It was near the home of our hosts on a recent trip and…read moreon a hot Sunday afternoon we went out for an ice cream treat. This is clearly a local favorite and it is set up at the entrance to a local family farm. This is where they sort of lost me because I grew up on a farm. These places are never the entertainment for me that they are to others. But I understand the appeal to the local community and the length of the lines to buy ice cream in summer is a supporting proof of that. Sadly they have limited flavors and you cannot see or taste them before choosing, as most all of our ice cream places at home have available. I saw only a few on the list that I would order and chose the coffee flavor, hoping it was light in color and flavor. It was not. This is a problem for the caffeine low tolerance folks so don't choose it if you are one like me. There were few fruit flavors too, which surprised me in summer. The people were nice, the servings ample and the line moved quickly. There is seating at wooden picnic tables which face a fenced area where there are some animals to see. I think city residents would clearly enjoy this part more than I did. They serve cones and cups, but on such a hot day they recommended cups as safer though one of our hosts chose the cone anyway. I might look further for ice cream should we go back again. But the quality was fine and the portions substantial and probably more than I needed anyway. We all finished our ice cream and I was glad we could reach it so quickly.

It was definitely more than enough ice cream! I had enough for two servings and the lid they give is actually pretty sturdy so I didn't have to worry about the ride home. In the back, they have a nice seating area where you can see some planes flying overhead. They also have a miniature plane for children to play in

Because we were already on an adventure, might as well try one more place as well. Inside has all the decor of an influencer styled place. Fake grass on the wall, lots of bright popping colors and plenty of places to snag the selfie. The menu is laden with sweets of every shape and size. Everything with loud pictures and kinda pricy price tags for just sweets. Their milkshakes were mostly 20 dollars and were towers of candy, donuts, and decadence. We did a small smattering of their truffles and a couple of their other sweets. A Dubai chocolate square and a chocolate ganache layered brownie. The place is very concerned about outward appearances, but what about the flavor? That I can report is actually pretty good. The truffle is a brigadeiro truffle. It's a soft and kinda chewy truffle, like a nougat and mochi hybrid. They were very pretty and flavorful, but not what one would call a truffle in the traditional sense. The Dubai chocolate square was dusted in gold dust and has the expected pistachio crème and phyllo inside. The chocolate was creamy and wonderful in flavor and consistency. The issue was the size, the chocolate shell kinda shattered on the bite and led to a bit of a mess in the car. The brownie was good. The chocolate ganache was delicious and the brownie was a little overdone. But the ganache really helped salvage the dish. It's pricy, is very much a place you go to for pictures of you and your entourage living their best life. But the quality is there and below the glitz and glamour there's a solid sweets shop here. For some, the facade may be a detractor, but they got good sweets so they are worth a try.
