They also sell candy cigarettes and that's an old time candy. They do sell other things as well. They don't just sell candy you can get a stuffed animal while your there. Really it is also a souvenir shop. But popcorn and candy is why I keep going back. Small store with a small town charm.

I'm a white chocolate girl. He's a dark chocolate man, but the pecan caramel fudge and both white and dark nailed it for us. In addition we bought some cappuccino truffles for another night with a great bottle of red wine. Service was amazing. They gave us samples, we were lucky to be on a Wednesday during the fall season when it wasn't so busy, but it felt like somebody's mother's kitchen while we were there! Small place, very welcoming, and it seemed like many people were congregating near the kettle corn which we did not sample or buy. Fun day, welcoming town and now enjoying our fudge!

Ok, so I saw this cute video on YouTube about viral blue cream chocolates. I loved the look of the…read morecandies and the process of making them, and figured I'd try them out ... just once on a whim. My wife light heartedly teased me, "you did not just spend $$ on a box of candy from an unknown shop on the other side of the country!" I was worried about them surviving the trip to Fresno. Well, they arrived today, perfectly intact with a tiny bit of chill left in the cooler pack to keep them that way. My wife tried one (it's up to four, I think, now), and then she wanted to know the name of "this shop I found". She immediately dug up the shop's website and began picking favorites. Hercules now has two solid fans now in Fresno. My wife has been looking for years for a chocolate experience she's missed for all that time, and these provided that. It's fantastic that you can order light, dark, or mixed as well as creams, nuts, or mixed to get exactly the variety you like best. We got all dark and a mix of fillings. They are perfectly sweet without being cloyingly so. And both the chocolate and the cream inside are so smooth without a hint of the crystalization present in even premium brand mass-produced chocolates (think Godiva). I should probably add that I love them, too. But I had a feeling I would watching them being made, so that was kind of expected. The red creams are amazing! There were some crunchy toffee ones that I really loved as well. I haven't hit a blue one yet like in the video, oddly enough, but there are plenty more to go! We will definitely be having more shipped out this way before the 100°F summer months make that too risky.

Now there are quite a few places to get a good gummy around the Syracuse area, but none of them even get close to this place. From the amazingly bright lights that glisten off the crystal like coating of their gummies, to the wall of Pusheen products, everything is beyond perfect here. They have tons of gummies, chocolates, and all sorts of random weird candies to choose from. I will warn you, if you aren't careful, you will probably end up spending way more than you should when you come here. Yes the prices are a bit high, but I will not fault them for that. The condition of their candy is pristine and their location is beyond perfect. If you have not come here then you must stop what you are doing right now!

They must have at least 30 flavors of homemade ice creams and as well as an absolutely ridiculous amount of homemade chocolates and treats.

You can watch them making ice cream in the back. They even have some non dairy based flavors. They have virtually all of their ice cream flavors in to go containers (quart size) and prices are very reasonable since it's made in house and is such high quality. If you order say chocolate chip, it's gonna be loaded with chips. Honestly, I wish I worked here. What else can I say? Super friendly folks inside and there's tons of free parking right out front and on the side. Oh they also have custom made ice cream cakes!
