I will always have a soft spot for Len Libby. I grew up visiting every summer during our annual family vacation and now I come as much for nostalgia as I do to satisfy my sweet tooth. This is a huge shop right off Rt 1 with a ton of candies, fudge, ice cream, and other treats as well as great souvenirs (mugs, puzzles, knickknacks). And of course the 1,700 lb chocolate moose! On my most recent trip, I tried some tasty bangor taffy and lemon zest bark samples. I usually get a few truffles and chocolate covered marshmallows. Whatever the variety, it always hits the spot. Staff is pleasant and friendly every time, and the pricepoint is fair. I won't even pretend to be unbiased, but if you've been to Scarborough and haven't stopped by Len Libby yet, you are missing out! @azfitfoodfun read more

This little gem candy store was a surprise stop on my bus trip today. One of the owners stepped on the bus and welcomed us with a quick review of the history and authentic candy making that they continue today. The staff quickly filled our selections from the candy case, and there are also repackaged chocolates and much more. read more

This place is great. It's clean, the staff is very friendly, and the candy is delicious. It's what you want and expect when you go to a small, homemade candy store--far better than the factory made stuff. I'll be back next time I'm in Scarborough or Old Orchard Beach. read more

I will admit, the candies were not the first thing that brought us here. We were on our way to Portland and stopped at the visitor center just over the state line. It was a bit of a day trip, so we decided to see if there was anything interesting we could do in the area. This being October, there were a lot of things that were closed for the season, but when I saw the Len and Libby's candies brochure that advertised a life-size chocolate moose, we decided we had to go there. They were not kidding, there is a life-sized moose made completely of milk chocolate, and also a life-sized mama bear with two cubs made out of dark chocolate. That alone was worth the trip, but the chocolates were delicious, and they also had a blueberry jam that my husband especially liked. The staff were efficient and friendly, and the store was clean and well lit. The novelty of the chocolate moose was, alone, worth a visit. read more

Right off Rt1, so you absolutely can't miss this one! They have a massive chocolate moose, as well as other creatures to look at, so you have to stop in at least once! The chocolates are good, especially the truffles. There is always someone greeting you with samples to try, which is always nice as well. Definitely a fun place to stop if you are in the area, and a prime location! read more

I have been coming here since I was a child and it has remained largely unchanged. Lenny the life size chocolate moose is starting to show his age but he is still a joy to visit every summer. They have gotten rid of their ice cream station since my last visit and are pushing the bangor taffy pretty hard. In their defense, the bangor taffy is great and I pick some up each summer to take back to my office. I was hoping to get some maple sugar candy as well but that also appears to have gone the way of the ice cream. Service was friendly and helpful and my colleagues really enjoyed the taffy. read more

I adore this little establishment, and have done so since I was a small child. Yes it does hold some nostalgia for me, of course, but it's more than that. While they do have items made by others, a lot of their candy in the display case is homemade. They have some of the best chocolates I've ever had. Their peanut butter cups are ahhhhmazing! It's like a peanut butter sandwich, with chocolate ends ! They have the best almond butter crunch I've ever had. They have white chocolate almond bark, that I make the trip to Scarborough for alone! It's so dang good. My mouth waters at the thought of the candy they make here. We always used to stop and see Lenny while my dad bought chocolates for mom's birthday, anniversary, or for the holidays. I sure miss Neccos peach blossoms, but no worries, Len Libby's has some as well. I will say they are a tad different, but still crunch peanut butter wrapped in peach candy! The ladies that work the register, fudge counter and candy counter are always polite and sweet. Helpful but not a buzzing nat. If you've never been in, check them out. I will say that they are expensive candies. 28.99lb for their by the pound candy. However it's very very good candy. They sell a ton of other things, and Maine items as well. read more

Heaven for those of us with a sweet tooth! Of course you have to come here and see Lenny, the 1,700 pound chocolate moose and his little chocolate bear friends, but you also have to let yourself go wild and get an assortment of treats! Their famous Bangor taffy is addictive, and the white chocolate lemon bark is absolutely delicious. Tried a few of the homemade chocolates and truffles and loved them all. Go for some chocolate covered blueberries or whatever else catches your eye! read more

Here's what you're coming to Len Libby's for: 1. Their needham ice cream (which is unlike anything else; for those from away, needhams are a statewide delicacy: it's a patty of mashed potatoes and coconut that's dipped in chocolate. AND IT'S FABULOUS TASTING [even though I don't really eat ice cream anymore, you should trust me on this one]). This is Maine-in-a-cone. 2. Lenny: the world's only life-sized moose made entirely of milk chocolate (weighing in at about 1,700 pounds); and, Libby: the black bear with her cubs, Cocoa and Chips, made entirely of solid dark chocolate (380 lbs and 80 lbs respectively). Apparently at some point this The Weather Channel's list of "20 Of America's Oddest and Most Amazing Roadside Attractions and Landmarks". It's quirky and I like it. Also, while you're here, grab some chocolate covered blueberries. Or some salt water taffy. Or some fudge. Or some peanut brittle. Or some maple sugar candies in the shape of leaves. Or some truffles.They've got it all, including souvenirs, trinkets, and doodads for you to bring back home to that relative who's never been to Maine. Sure, things are a bit expensive, but can you really put a price on Lenny, Libby, Cocoa, and Chips? read more

This is a must-stop place if you're int he area. And they're open long hours so there is no excuse that you don't put it on your travel list. Lenny the life-sized chocolate moose is about the cutest and coolest thing ever. And the fact that he's still standing and looking good is quite impressive!!!! This place has something for everyone. Salt water taffy, chocolate truffles and caramels, chocolate nuts, chocolate twinkies....the list goes on for miles. And the prices honestly are great given the ioruibs. In the city at the "trendy" places you'll pay about 4x as much for less quality chocolate and selection. You can even get jelly fruits and cute souveniers including blueberry syrup. It seriously has something for everyone. There is also ice cream that you can get and a cute little sitting area off to the side with tables which is great for if you're taking a pit stop like we were. Stretch your legs, devour some sugary goodness and heck, theres even a bathroom right there. The staff here was also the nicest and sweetest group of people ever. Every trip through Maine this will be on my stop list! read more

Len Libby Candies - Lenny the Moose made of chocolate! - Candy Stores Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

Such a great place to pick up sweet treats, gifts and souvenirs! It's so much fun to go into places like this one. I picked up some maple syrup for friends, a lighthouse ornament, and there's no way you can walk away without picking up a few goodies for everyone back home... that is, if it makes it home uneaten ;) The life size chocolate moose is a sight to see. He's gonna be 25 years old soon, so I don't think you'll be tempted to take a bite LOL read more

I'm a choco-holic!! I have driven by this place about a million times and only have been able to stop by twice...that's probably a good thing! Anyways, I love the set up and the different variety of chocolates they have to offer. Their full sized chocolate moose is neat to see and don't forget to see the chocolate black bears behind the moose, too!! They always have the holidays covered and their Fall and Halloween items are too cute. I picked my own chocolates from their chocolate counter and the staff there are very nice. I tried their Needams - AMAZING!! I also tried their dark chocolate orange peel - YUMMY!! If you love chocolate, definitely stop here!! read more

Len Libby Candies - My little box of Heaven - Candy Stores Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

Delicious chocolates, cute Maine themed Knick knacks. Huge chocolate moose inside. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I mean, they have a giant chocolate moose! Love grabbing goodies here for all the holidays. Shop local! Totally worth it.

So many candy options! This place was way bigger than I expected. We came for the life size chocolate moose, but found a lot of other great gems here. Note that they have a good selection of sugar free candies, both boxed and fresh. They also have various sections of the store dedicated to themed candies like a moose theme and a lobster theme. Everyone working here was nice and the prices were reasonable. I'd recommend everyone traveling through the area come here! read more

This has always been our go-to place for Taffy. It has always been great, and I was able to pick my flavors and quantity. No more! You are limited now to just the 8 oz boxes of assorted flavors. It appears this business has decided to replace candy items with non-candy gift items. Won't be going back. read more

Stopped by to see the big chocolate moose. The shop is filled with candies, chocolates, and nice gift ideas and souvenirs. We tried samples of the Bangor taffy and it was so good I got a box, as well as a cute moose shot glass. The chocolate moose himself is an imposing figure and he's very photogenic. There is also ice cream available. We misunderstood a review and asked the girl if the needham ice cream was really made of mashed potatoes, and the outcome was embarrassing and hilarious for all of us. read more

I love odd roadside attractions so when I came across pictures of Lenny the chocolate moose, I knew we had to stop! 1700 pounds of chocolate?! I'm not passing that up! The area in the store where Lenny was smelled like chocolate heaven. We ventured through the store and each found a few souvenirs. I ended up with the most delicious chocolate covered raisins and a book to send my nephew. There was SO much to choose from that I had a hard time narrowing it down. Great roadside attraction to stop at if you are ever in the area! read more

Private lot. The main reason to go here is for the chocolate moose. I wouldnt consider their chocolate to be a must have delicious treat. Its average chocolate. Although I did really enjoy their chocolate rocks. They have a variety of other candies too like rock candy and jelly beans. Cute shapes of chocolate like lobsters and moose chocolate filled baskets, so great to stop in for a gift to return home. read more

A quality place to buy scrumptious chocolate! Needhams ice cream is the best! 0nly wish they were open evenings in the summer.

Cute little candy and gift shop! The ladies in the shop are so friendly and welcoming. You can sample the candies. They have nice little trinkets all throughout the store. There's also a life-size chocolate moose, bear, and bear cubs! Cool! The chocolate and sea salt Oreos were a sheer delight. The cars salt caramels Omar's perfect. The creams were a little too sugary and not creamy enough for my taste. Fun stop! read more

Len Libby Candies - Lenny the Chocolate Moose!!!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

A very tasty moose Len Libby is a candy shop that is a bit different than your ordinary chocolate type of store. In fact it is very different from any place I have ever seen. Sure it has a whole lot of cool chocolate of all kinds. As well as salt water taffy and lots of different nuts. Also has syrups and other blueberry things that Maine is famous for. The usual assortment of souvenir trinkets are sold her like fridge magnets, crummy t-shirts and stuffed animals, frequently with a lobster theme, But what really makes this place unique is Lenny, the 1,700 pound solid chocolate moose they have on display. They have also added Libby, a 380 pound bear as well as her two 80 pound cubs, Chip and Cocoa. A bizarre sight to be sure. The town of Scarborough is filled with lots of weird stuff if you take the time to look but Lenny is special. Worth stopping in just to see him and his friends. Of course all the great chocolate and other tasty things aren't bad either. Just make sure you don't try to take a bite out of Lenny because he does look pretty delicious, especially to a chocoholic like myself. I was tempted but did manage to be content with just looking and drooling. read more

We dropped by here on 6/17 after seeing a small advertisement in a pamphlet my coworker and I picked up at a Maine visitor information center. We just *had* to see Lenny the Chocolate Moose. When we approached the place, we saw a sign that said free ice cream for all fathers on Father's Day. I expected a little wimpy cone, but was surprised by a full-sized cone with a generous scoop of maple walnut ice cream that was amazing! We bought some candy there to hold us over during the drive back to Boston. The people behind the counter were absolutely wonderful! read more

Came here because I overheard some people talking about it while I was at the Portland Head Lighthouse. So I immediately looked it up on Yelp and saw that they had a 380lb. chocolate Moose. It's located on Highway 1 and pretty easy to spot. Just be warned that tour buses frequent this location, so it can get super busy. They do provide samples of their chocolate. The chocolate is tasty, but I don't know if I can say it's the best. At this point, I can't really tell to be honest. But, it's a nice stop over for a sugar high. They also have pre-packaged chocolate items out on the floor. They are the same ones you find behind the glass case. read more

I would give this chocolatier 10 stars! What a classic. I finally made my way to this place after wanting to go for so long even though it's only a few minutes from my summer home. I thought it is similar to our See's Candies shop out West but to my pleasant surprise, it was so much more! The delectable goodies existed aplenty! Chocolates and candies were beautifully presented! ! I made sure I tried several of their unique offerings. I particularly enjoyed the chocolate-covered potato chips, coconut marshmallow squares, traditional cashews, chocolate Oreo cups, and colorful fruit candy slices. There are also Maine souvenirs of all kinds: books, puzzles, shirts, home wares, decor and such. The cashiers were friendly and knowledgeable! And of course where can one see a giant moose chocolate in real life size! Only in Scarborough! read more

Small. Varied chocolates, taffy, novelties. Touristy. Huge chocolate moose is apparently an attraction. I felt they were quite pricy. read more

The candy from Len Libby's was pretty good, but nothing that special that I tried. However, the main attraction here is really Lenny The Chocolate Moose, who was made with over 1,700 pounds of chocolate (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/len-libby-candy-shops-scarborough?select=qrfXhrz_94RTlKt2KIF2Ug#-NtWwPmy6lT9Mgx8mFpuPQ)! They added a few chocolate bears recently, who were made from a few hundred pounds of chocolate each (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/len-libby-candy-shops-scarborough?select=qrfXhrz_94RTlKt2KIF2Ug#omGVF7DKff2Q0gRWYuGXSg). They also offer a bunch of free samples in the store, and I got to try their Bangor Taffy and Maine Wild Blueberry Cluster. The bangor taffy was good, but really sweet. The blueberry cluster wasn't as sweet, and was chock full of blueberries. They have their own parking lot, so it's worth it to stop by for a quick look if you're driving through! read more

When I buy souvenirs, I am very particular because I don't like clutter. I tend to gravitate toward locally-made foods and products because they are consumables. I knew when we visited Portland that I wanted to get some Maine blueberry items to take home with me, and I'd read about Len Libby candy shop in the Portland travel guide I got at the airport. I just knew we had to go see this life-sized chocolate moose! The shop has plenty of parking and the inside is so welcoming and full of goodies. I wanted to take everything home! I love that they organize items by theme, so all the blueberry items are together, lobster in another, moose, and so on. They've got gifts in all price ranges, so I was able to get little chocolate items for my family and larger items too. I love the variety of items. I bought a locally made blueberry muffin kit with canned Maine blueberries (just like my grandma used to make with us) and the Blueberries for Sal book she used to read to us as kids. The chocolate counter is wonderful. Lots of choices and I had a hard time narrowing it down. This was my favorite shopping stop of our whole trip and it's on the way out of town to the airport. Can't wait to make my muffins this weekend and remember our trip! read more

Len Libby Candies - Life size chocolate moose made in house of real chocolate. There's a video that shows how it was made! - Candy Stores Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

It's impossible! You can't get away from this great local chocolatier without buying a little something. I know, everyone talks about Lenny in their reviews, and yes, he's quite impressive. But, check this out: there's something for everyone here with a sweet tooth. We visited in late December, so there were lots of holiday themed treats to choose from. We grabbed some peppermint malt balls that are superb. It's hard to pass up the impressive display of fudge, with many great flavors. We built a custom box of three different flavors. I don't like nuts in my fudge and was happy to know most of the flavors come with and without. On check out, we noticed a sample of Bangor Taffy, which are cubed caramels coated in powdered sugar. So great we got a box! Then we wrapped up with one chocolate each from the case. My wife got the white chocolate caramel latte, my daughter got a chocolate caramel marshmallow, and I had to have the maple cream. They were exceptional! I'm a former chocolatier, and I was impressed at their chocolate skills here at Len Libby. A must visit spot in southern Maine! read more

The candy here is a little too expensive for anyone who doesn't have money to burn. But it's a big place, kind of like the Putnam Pantry in Danvers, MA. And it's open until 9 PM in the summer. Cool hours. And they have Lenny the moose. You just have to see Lenny the moose. Maybe the blueberry soda isn't too expensive. Maybe buy someone a gift certificate. I guess the specialty candy is the "Needhams". They also have ice cream. I think they make a "Needham" ice cream. read more
