This little spot of heaven is a must see when you're in Hershey! They have such a wide variety of goodies, and truly something for everyone. My little one was a bit handsy with everything inside so we waited outside but the owner could not have been nicer! He even gave my husband the background of the company and talked about the process of making all the goodies. Everything we tried was so delicious! Definitely a place to stop by to get some high quality chocolates and candy! read more

Grove’s Brittle Works - Front - Candy Stores Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

What an amazing little homemade CANDY STORE! He was making chocolate-covered pickles while where we were there. OH, MY HOLY GOODNESS! Jesus & CHOCOLATE! What's better than that !! WE ALSO TALKED JESUS! How cool is that? Shared testimonies & prayer requests! Earl, you blessed us!! Keep shining Jesus, brother!! See you next year! read more

This shop is so quaint inside and out! Lovely aesthetic. Be warned, when you are driving by you need to pay close attention to the side of the road once you can see the Grove Brittle Works sign because there is limited parking. The parking spots are perpendicular to the road and they back out directly onto 422. The two times I have been there I was promptly greeted and welcomed by Earl, one of the chocolatiers here. He is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and clearly loves his job and his customers. Inside the shop, there is a foyer and two small rooms filled with different chocolate and brittle related treats all over the place. There is a counter of fancy chocolates to order from as well. Earl helped me look for what I wanted and when they didn't have it, he made a note to himself to make more to ensure that it was available for the next customer. The prices were very reasonable in my opinion for a small place with good quality chocolate and treats. Much higher quality than Hershey's or any other mass produced chocolate you can buy. Apparently their secret is mixing four types of different chocolate together to make one super chocolate (Earl told me, I hope it's ok that I shared it with you all!) I highly recommend stopping in here if you are visiting Hershey, you will actually get much better chocolate than the world famous Hershey's. And for all you local folks, don't forget to stop by occasionally and support a wonderful small business in your community. read more

We loved our visit to Grove's candy shop. The German peanut brittle was amazing. We met Earl, the owner, and enjoyed hearing about the history of the candy store and the secret family recipe. What a legacy and an amazing sweet treat! read more

I made a bit of a detour from my drive from Hawley to Virginia just so I could stop by Grove Brittle Works. Man, am I glad I did. The peanut brittle was fantastic. I am currently snacking on the Butter crunchcorn, which I will NOT be sharing. (You've got to love anything with "butter" in the name, right)? I also bought some chocolate covered pretzels and have been devouring those. When my waistline allows, I'll definitely be making the trip up - just to visit Hershey's "other candy company." You can also order some of their products online. I may have to send my family some of the brittle - just so they can see how good brittle can be. read more

Last minute Easter candy was needed and Groves came thru! With great customer service and put together such a wonderful basket of all sorts of candies! We will continue to come back for the delicious candy and wonderful people. read more

Grove’s Brittle Works - What a wonderful Easter basket Grove's put together for us! Such great customer service and nice people! - Candy Stores Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

I was the only customer here an hour before closing. The owner was working the counter and gave me a personal tour of every nook and cranny of this shop. Although I'm not a brittle fan, their homemade chocolates caught my attention. I picked up several things for Easter baskets and colleagues at the office. read more

Grove’s Brittle Works - Candy Stores Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Friendly service, large selection of candy, chocolate and brittle. Love this place :) We will be reordering from home!

What an awesome find! Saw them at the Hershey craft show and just had to go to theit shop as well. It was so good as a local to find this place I pass by nearly everyday, but we never went into. Not only GREAT chocolate and BETTER than Hershey (anyday), but Earl and Millie are the nicest people in the world. We not only found a great place for candy, but I think we found some long time friends as well. So many businesses these days just do not care about a customer after the sell and it is so apparent that they are passionate about what they do best ---- making awesome candy and being people friendly! read more

This place is the cutest! The family that owns Grove are so sweet and helpful! Nice little candy store away from the hustle and bustle that Hershey park brings! read more

Awesome place to visit - the other candy place in Hershey. Small little house with a lot of great candy - a variety of candy. A place to visit and pick up some very tasteful treats. read more

Don't fall for Hershey...this little yummy nugget has more to offer, plus you'll be supporting a local shop owner. The shop is cozy with the owner sharing a few stories about how the business came to be. It's worth taking the time to not cave in to capitalism, and their candy is delicious to boot read more

From simplistic comforts to lavish exoticism, this place has an unbeatable selection of items. Without a doubt this is the best candy store I've been to yet, and I have bee to quite a few. The staff was very nice and I enjoyed hearing where the stuff came from, how it was made, and what inspired their creations. They were nice and informative, I've gone to other places run by robots and people stuck in the 17th century. What sets this place apart from most for me was unique creativity, something that is lacking in many aspects of business and daily life in general. I find it refreshing to see people/stores trying to come up with new concepts (in this case recipes) that may not have been thought of and are not run of the mill. Obviously some of the creations are really out there, if you're the kind of person that has packed a sandwich for lunch and drank only 1 brand of beer for 30 years your head will spin. However if you enjoy experiencing new things, there are some exquisite delights. You can taste the love in every bite. Some of the items on here may be on the pricier side, I however don't put a price on quality. After all I'm paying for delicious treats, if I wanted cheap/subpar stuff I've had 1,000,000,000,000 times already, I can easily go somewhere else to get it. Whether you're a 90 year old person who wants candy from your youth, or a 6 year old with an aspiring sweet tooth, or a thrill seeker looking to score a bold new sensation, this place has something for everyone. It's great to see small business's holding their own in today's cut-throat corporate world. So Kudos to Grove's Brittle Works, hopefully they continue to maintain high standards and don't assume all people will buy whatever is thrown at them, like other places in Hershey have done. I look forward to my next visit, I know I will get to see/buy/taste something new and exciting. read more

Cutest little hidden gem. Got the personal story and tour from the owner (stems back to WWII) and the chocolate and brittle is AMAZING. I don't even eat brittle and really liked it. Did I mention they have chocolate covered bacon ? Love this place- will definitely be back. read more

Go ready to talk! Or be talked to. The proprietress will give you the full history of their candy dating back to the early 1900's. But they make their own brittle from an old family recipe and dip and mold chocolate there. It's worth a stop if you've got the time. read more

Yes, the tour is quite long for the size of the place, which is just two small rooms of a house. I enjoyed talking to the proprietor (oldish lady) but the actual chocolates and brittle are not really better than average. I felt like I should buy something so I did, but wont go back. No reason to. One can make brittle at home just as good after some practice, and even many of the chocolates. However I did enjoy supporting a family business as they are all on the way out. read more

This place is amazing. Hidden gem for sure. I totally was down with the tour. The proprietress is very kind and I loved the background stories. Definitely worth a checking out. And the brittle is far from ordinary that you can get anywhere. read more

I had a fantastic experience yesterday! We were greeted by all 3 employees working that day, we were asked if we wanted a tour and brief history of the business and we were given a sample of the best brittle I've ever had. Yes, by all means, if kind and informative customer service is as time consuming for you as it was for the last two reviewers, then maybe this isn't the place for you - and somewhere more automated and impersonal would be better. But if you appreciate family pride and the passion and care in both service and products that the owners here exude, stop in, grab a basket and load up! There's no way you'll leave without something you're gonna love! read more

This little gem could be Hershey's best kept secret! Their various mouth-watering brittle flavors are to die for. Not to mention the service! They make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave. I can't believe this place has escaped my attention for as long as it has. I will definitely return as there are so many candies I have yet to try and they create new treats on a regular basis. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

What an awesome place this is. I have wanted to visit there for several years and finally had the chance to do it. The story of the business was fascinating. The brittle and chocolates are tasty. I didn't realize you can make brittle with brown sugar. The pictures were very interesting. I can't imagine the patience it must have taken to make not only a "brittle" house but a castle as well! Outstanding! I enjoyed talking with the woman that took care of me. a very interesting place to visit and I recommend it to anyone that is going to that area. A real find! Gail W. read more

What a joy it was to stop in today and be welcomed like I was. I so enjoyed hearing about the history of the business. Of course I got candy and it is out of this world! Loved the chocolate covered strawberries and even the sugar free raspberry jam chocolate were out of this world. I know where I will be buying my candy!! So nice to be welcomed in a store, Thanks for the great tour!! read more

The best brittle I have ever had , and I make my own. Buttery and thin and....Yummie! We fought over the last piece . The lady in the shop was sweet as her brittle and genuinely friendly. Two little candy nomes . read more
