Take gummy candy, dress it up with clever marketing and this the result. The store is beautiful,…read moreclean looking. All gummy candy is package into fancy plastic cubes. Flavors are more upscale than your normal store bought gummy. Flavors we got include rose, champagne, peach Bellini and vanilla latte. Check the box and these say non-alcoholic. Even though some are alcohol flavored, the saleslady said the alcohol is cooked off in the cooking process. The gummy is harder than what I prefer and some of the flavors like the rose and champagne taste like regular gummy bears. The price is for the brand , not necessarily for what you get. The small cubes are ~$8 each. The larger cubes are around $25 each. However, they do have a great promos and a very good loyalty program. We were there the day after valentines and their valentine cubes were buy 3 get 2 free. In addition, they had a Presidents' Day promo - spend $30 and get a free cube which could be used in conjunction with the valentines offer (so we just had to buy 1 more cube to reach $30) In addition to that, we got a small welcome pack for joining the loyalty program and another free cube for birthday reward!

We walked into a location that fits the brand well, sitting comfortably among the other specialty food options in the mall without feeling out of place. The Strawberry and Dubai Chocolate combo is the natural order for anyone trying the concept for the first time. It arrived with pistachio butter and a layered set of toppings that made the whole thing feel more composed than a standard chocolate treat. The chocolate itself is smooth and restrained on the sweetness, which works in its favor and keeps the experience from tipping into cloying territory. The combination with the strawberry is well balanced, with the fruit cutting through the richness of the pistachio and chocolate in a way that keeps each bite feeling fresh rather than heavy. At around eighteen dollars, the price point is the main hesitation. The quality is there and the experience of working through the combination is genuinely enjoyable, but it is more of a one time indulgence or a special occasion treat than something that becomes a regular habit at that cost. As a gift or a novelty stop during a Prudential visit it makes more sense, and the novelty of the Dubai Chocolate format still holds up well enough to justify the trip if you have not tried it before. Decent chocolate, an experience worth having at least once, but probably not a frequent stop for most people.

The line here is always long, but it moves relatively quickly. The ambiance here is family friendly.

The large milk hot chocolate was so rich and a perfect balance of cream to chocolate, which made it an optimal size to share amongst 3 people. The sweetness, warmth and texture make it a nice sweet treat on a cold or rainy Boston day. The drinks were a bit expensive, but this hot chocolate falls in my top 3.

They also have soft serve, which is both delicious and more reasonably priced. Super beautiful space, and super nice employees! -- I frequently visit this candy shop at least once a week as it's the only way to get my steps in this winter (I live in southie, so I make the commute by foot) AND because my sweet tooth practically compels me to spend an exorbitant amount of money on swedish candy. So, I feel like I have formed a strong opinion about Madeleine's. First, it's colorful, it's beautiful, and it's incredibly welcoming with the way they have been decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Feels like I'm in Stars Hallows. They always have a new candy of the week to try for free at the counter, which is also a fun way of distracting me as I tap my card again and again for a (10 dollar) baggie of bubs. Yes, ten dollars for a baggie of PRE-packaged swedish candy. That's where this place loses its star. Week to week the mix of candy can change, and often times I'm left with candy that I don't really want. But is it worth it as a midweek pick me up? Yes, sometimes. BUT they also added a soft serve window that rotates flavors by the seasons (maple is my favorite), and you have the option to add a generous amount of bubs for only $2. The ice cream is much more reasonably priced. That makes a visit here worth it. This place is a must-stop in the south end area if you have a sweet tooth but expect it to be on the pricier side.

When bagging your own candy, you pay $7.98 for a half pound and $15.96 for a pound of candy. They're also offering a special candy box that you can fill up that costs a fixed $16.99. I got that candy box, filled it up, and was able to fit 1.4 lbs of candy in it, so it was a better deal than getting the bag. Note that the box must be able to be closed; you can't leave it overflowing. The shop has just opened so it's new and clean. It doesn't has high traffic so far.
