    We stopped by here while exploring the town for some chocolate. We ended up getting some blueberry milk chocolate bark that tasted good and was loaded with blueberries. We also got some milk chocolate covered macadamia nuts that also had a good ratio of chocolate to nuts.

    So delicious!! Great customer service. First timer and did not disappoint. I love my chocolate with nuts and it was delicious. The sample box is a good choice. The smallest box fits about 12 pieces in it. There are lots of gift options inside. Prepackaged chocolates and even stuffed animals. Will def be back. Will def make a great gift for the chocolate lover. Lots of variety and all come in milk or dark chocolate

    As you can see, the box did not even last long enough to take a proper photo!

    Krause's is a childhood favorite of mine and a family tradition around the holidays from growing up in the Hudson Valley. This Christmas I decided to send several boxes as gifts to friends and family that I was unable to see because of the pandemic. They did a fantastic job shipping everything in time for christmas despite what I imagine was probably a high volume of orders. As for the chocolates themselves, you need to try it to fully understand how delicious these are! They really are better than any of the "fancy" Belgian or Swiss chocolates I've tried at a much more reasonable price. Thank you Krause's for making this holiday a bit more cheerful!

    OH MY GOSH THIS CHOCOLATE IS LIFE-CHANGING. I DONT THINK I WILL EVER GO BACK TO EATING CIVILIAN REGULAR CHOCOLATE. I am not exaggerating. My boyfriend and I came up to Saugerties for a weekend getaway from nyc. One fun game we came up with was "chocolate wars." We tested out a couple of the chocolate shops in the area and this is BY FAR the best in the area AND THE WORLD. I can't even give you a recommendation about which pieces to try because they all blew my mind. There are like 59 options and they ALL have dark and milk chocolate. Try them all. Get a giant sampler and just eat all of them. Trust me on this one.

    All their chocolates are amazingly delicious, dark chocolate sugar-free chocolate, milk chocolate, Jellybeans, everything there is just delicious. Even in this time of the pandemic when they are busy they still have time to make everything slow and with 100% great quality

    Amazing chocolates. Great prices. They have a wonderful selection and even include a cheat sheet to identify the different types.

A few things appeared to have been stored away and sorta looks as if it's kinda shoved to the side. For example : soft serve machine. Not sure if some things are placed there because not in season purposes? I wanted candy corn, my husband got a rootbeer. We were both satisfied with what we got. All payments accepted. Parking is available along the side street. Friendly service.

    There seems to be a candy store in almost every ocean side town I visit. I simply walk on by as i'm…read morenot the type of parent that lets my kids buy bags of candy. So when I saw one opening in Kingston almost a decade ago I just shrugged and kept going. After learning Dianne Reeder's story you realize this isn't your ordinary candy store. Yes they have over 400 kinds of candy you can buy in bulk and the store has your typical kitschy trinkets but if you look deeper it's where you find Diane's passion and empathy for others. She just wants to make your day a little easier and for you to leave happier than you came. Certainly this isn't hard when you're scooping Janes Ice cream and serving vegan homemade soft serve using Fruition chocolate and coconut milk. Even this is fairly common place in a world over run by NYC transplants expecting everything to be homemade and gluten free. Where Dianne is different, is her commitment to community. In 2005, Diane was the winner of the Microsoft/Bill Gates Start Something Amazing Award (a program honoring the unique and inspiring ways that people use Microsoft related technology to pursue their everyday passions) for her work bringing attention to food insecurity. Her passion for cooking and her desire to help others led her to find a nonprofit organization called The Queens Galley in Kingston. The work she did with the Kingston Farmers Market was instrumental in getting them to accept food stamps. Diane's mission to have people come together and break bread in dignity has now spread across the country. Her commitment even landed her a diner at the Whitehouse with President Obama. To add to her resume she graduated the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park while raising 3 kids and running the candy bar. But let's get to the point. Diane is a pillar of the community where everybody knows her name. But what about the food? Just sitting outside snacking on my freshly roasted nuts (still warm) sipping on my 72hr steeped Lavazza cold brew I'd say simply perfect. Don't miss the carrot cake doughnut topped with maple walnuts and stuffed with macerated pineapple. The passion fruit and blackberry parfait or those rainbow cookie tricolor doughnuts. They have a sweet for everyone! Kingston Candy Bar might not be the hippest spot on the block but the love Diane puts into her work is palpable.
