They make my childhood favorite,turkey joints!!!!!!!!!! I've lived in Texas for 45 years and continue to get them every year around Christmas . I hope they are made for many many more generations!!!!! read more

I have been buying the Turkey Joints for years. I just called to have 3 jars of them shipped to me out of state. The charge was $40.00 to ship. So I am not buying these anymore. They will not take them out of the heavy jars to ship because they said they would stick. Well have they ever heard of wax paper, parchment paper or plastic wrap? They really should do this and they could just wrap them and put them in a box and send them a lot cheaper and not loose customers. Nora's wake up you should find a way to ship them cheaper! read more

The shop is filthy, and the candy is way over priced. Turkey joints used to be good but they don't make them with the same recipe anymore and they are terrible now. Huge waste of money. read more

I think the various "turkey joint" varieties are a really cool and unique treat to send to friends and family for the holidays. You'll be the new favorite Uncle, Brother, Son/daughter to whom ever you decide to send them to no doubt. Quick disclaimer: If you're looking to keep your out of control candy habit and political beliefs separate, just be aware there is some super weird Trump fetish sh!t goin on within the walls of Nora's. Kind of confusing when you walk in and not expecting it. At least to me. read more

A special shop. I've traveled the world, spent time in Switzerland, but still find Nora's to be the best milk chocolate I've found. While the store is known for their turkey joints, its the other chocolates I loved. Always fresh. read more

Turkey Joints! What are they?? Some kind of giant turkey leg you'd get at the Renaissance Fair? Maybe a weird part of the turkey my Grandpa never carved at Thanksgiving? Before visiting Nora's, that was my question, too! It turns out Turkey Joints are a delicious candy that come in a jar. They are a blend of chocolate and Brazil nuts covered with a sweet silver coating. The silver coating looks almost inedible.. but it is.. it really is. They are incredible. Make sure to ask about the different kinds available. There are about 6 or 7 different Turkey Joint versions to choose from, including peanut butter & coconut. Nora's candy shop is just off the main drag in Rome, with a large neon sign broadcasting their famous candy. The store itself is just like any other candy store., with display cases filled with every chocolate shape imaginable. The kind lady working the store let us taste-test many of the different confections. The prices are high, but the quality is amazing. Be prepared to spend quite a bit.. we racked up a $40 bill. The turkey joint containers alone are $16+ each, and there is only about a dozen or so sticks in the jar. Most everything else in the store was sold by weight. The only reason I'm holding back the 5th star, is the price alone. I understand that all of the candies here are homemade in house, but it did seem a bit high. All in all, a great little shop to check out if you're passing through! These candies are locally famous & for good reason! I actually couldn't believe this place hasn't been reviewed yet, so take my word for it & stop by! read more

They actually get a minus. I called them to inquire about their products the woman on the phone was deliberately nasty unless she was born that way. I won't go there, so rude read more

Ok, I completely concur with most of what Mike T. had to say in his review. My review & rating is mostly about the candy 'Turkey Joints' itself vs Nora's Candy Shop cause those are separate items for me. First, if you like chocolate & nuts, you'll LOVE Turkey Joints...they are the 'best long lasting candy 2 curl up with a good book & settle in for a good read' or whatever, they're just delish. And anyone over the last (90) years within throwing distance of Rome NY, is intimately acquainted with these chocolate lovelies which were a staple in my Grandmothers' home @ Christmastime. Don't hesitate to lay down the jack for 'Turkey Joints;' they're worth every penny! Now onto Nora's Candy Shop itself. Im from the Albany NY area with reason to travel to Rome approx 2xs a year & usually stop into Nora's Candy Shop for a TJ run. In the way of constructive input, don't expect some cute quaint candy store staffed with bright happy people mimicing Santa's elves...it & they are not either. But this IS a candy store filled with product that practically sells itself so I don't understand why it or the employees don't reflect that joy...which was my experience today while shopping & has been so for the last 2 years of stopping in. The store could use a fresh coat of paint, maybe some brighter lighting & a tee up on the customer service as well. Also it should be a real asset for a business to brag about a popular product with the history & longevity that comes with 'Turkey Joints.' However our server didn't have a clue nor did she seem particularly interested. In marketing, we call that a missed opportunity. Please don't hesitate to check out Nora's Candy Shop as the products are awesome...its just the ambiance that needs a little work! read more

I use to be a Staples delivery driver in Rome, NY. The day I stumbled upon this place was like hitting the lottery. Not only do they make the chocolate covered Turkey Joints, they have the best dark chocolate covered cranberries and turtles. The staff is also super friendly and has shipped me chocolate to Virginia and all over for birthdays and holidays. Top notch establishment. read more

Worst costumer service I have ever seen.never have I ever been treated so poorly..bad for business

I had some turkey joints shipped to me recently and unfortunately they were a bit stale and mouldy. Disappointed. I feel like they picked out an old jar to send to an old fool like me. read more

I now have my daughter-in-law out in Seattle loving the turkey joints. My own daughter has been hooked for years.When I am in Rome I have gone to the store there is so much to choose from but turkey joints wins hands down. read more

For Christmas I purchased 4 jars of Turkey Joints for my family and friends. I thought they were going to be a treat. I opened one and the paper which is way to much for the price you pay,,,,paper is cheap....was stuck to the candy itself. I still have 3 pieces that will NOT come out of the jar without prying. I had 5 turkey joints that were full and the rest broken. I believe I was sent OLD JARS of candy because what can I do from TN. I will NEVER buy anything from Nora's again, since the company sends the OLD stuff out to it's mail order customers. Wasted money. YUCK read more

I love the turkey joints but the shop and customer service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed miserable and the shelves were poorly stocked and you wouldn't know they even had turkey joints because they store them under the counter. The shop had multiple signs that basically said shut up and pay or get out as well as pro-gun signs. A candy shop hardly seems the place for this sort of signage. The entire experience made me uncomfortable. I'll still buy their candy but I'll buy it at the local grocery store instead where customer service means something. read more

As far as chocolate goes, it should be 5 stars. It's as good as any fancy chocolate I've ever eaten. However, it was the turkey joints that made me deduct 1 star. When I was young I remember the candy shell being a lot thinner. Now the shell is so thick I can't even bite it, and the taste of the chocolate gets overwhelmed by waaay too much shell. Bought a couple to bring back to Texas and was so disappointed. They should put them on a stick and call it a lollipop. Used to be so enjoyable - and easy - to eat. :-( Having said that, next time I'm in Rome, I will definitely get a different kind without the shell and stock up on the dark chocolate with coconut candies...mmm...loved those. read more
