I got the mixed candy cup which came with a little bit of everything. So good!!! I also got the candied grapes. To be honest I was not a fan of those because they were frozen. It's personal preference but, I do not like the taste of frozen grapes. I think they taste too earthy and dry. However, the candy coat was delicious! I will definitely grab another cup of the freeze dried mix next time I go to the farmers market!

We were greeted when we walked in and asked by the owner if we could be helped. My daughter told her that she remembered that they had chocolate rats. The owner told us that they didn't have any made but if we could wait for a few minutes, she could make some up. We looked around while we waited and saw a lot of delicious goodies which looked very tempting but I had a big birthday cake waiting for me at home so refrained.

They also create trays, special gifts, and so much more for any occasion. Definitely a sweet little place worth visiting!

Jan's Homemade Candies is a chocolate shop in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL…read more My daughter's happened to see while we were walking on the other side of Ocean Drive towards Walgreens. It was located within a plain, grey plaza. Because we were on vacation on June 7, 2024, we had to pop in... oh, who am I kidding? We would have anyway. For such a small shop, they sure offer quite an assortment of chocolates. My youngest chose a starfish and a sea turtle. They were $2.50 apiece. I chose a key lime cream in milk chocolate. A Dutchie (caramel/peanuts). And a sea salt caramel in dark chocolate. They were all so smooth and decadent. Not cheap, but very much worth it. Service was a bit slow that day. After we had made our choices and I paid, the young woman working that drizzly afternoon offered a piece each on the house. Lol. That was a bit backwards if she was trying to get more sales! I tried a blueberry cream in white chocolate. Its richness and creaminess took me by surprise. I would definitely recommend it. Afterwards, I did some research on this little place. I love the story that the owners posted on the Yelp page. It's not hard to believe that they once held the title of "Best Homemade Chocolate in America!"

Very impressed! The owner was very kind. Thank you for the great service and great food!!!!!!!read more

A Delicious Dining Experience at Chocolada! I had such a…read morewonderful dining experience at Chocolada on Hollywood Boulevard! I ordered the grilled salmon with fresh mango salsa and cilantro aioli, and it was absolutely delicious. The salmon was perfectly grilled, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The combination of the savory salmon with the bright, fresh mango salsa was fantastic, and the cilantro aioli added the perfect finishing touch. The dish normally comes with herb rice, but I'm diabetic and try to avoid rice. The staff was incredibly accommodating and happily substituted beautifully grilled vegetables for the rice--and they were AMAZING! The vegetables were cooked perfectly and seasoned wonderfully, making the entire meal feel both indulgent and satisfying. It's not always easy finding restaurants that are willing to accommodate dietary preferences without making you feel like you're missing out, but Chocolada absolutely nailed it. The food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and the service made the experience even better. If you're on Hollywood Boulevard and looking for a delicious meal, I highly recommend giving Chocolada a try. The grilled salmon is definitely worth ordering! I wish I could post a photo.
