Taking a walk around historic Gardner, stumbled upon this absolute gem of a candy shop. Most of what they have is made right there in the spotless kitchen, which you can see through glass viewing windows. Service is absolutely stellar. They have some very unique items, such as sour lobster shaped gummies. Also, they have the classic truffles and assorted chocolates. I bought gifts and some for myself. Chocolates are fresh and good. I most highly recommend unless you are on a severe diet and have a sweet tooth. In such a case, steer clear! Otherwise stop in fora chat and a treat, while picking up presents for those unlucky enough to not be there. read more

See all

To anyone who is curious about the selection of candy being offered, the variety or even the quality of it allow me to explain what should already be obvious to basically everyone on the planet!!! The selection is AMAZING!! The wide variety of all things delicious are not only sold here but made from scratch in small batches to control the quality and deliciousness of every single morsel of goodness that is packed into everything they create. This family owned and operated Candy store has it all and yes even harder to find items can be found here pretty much year round however they welcome customized orders that have been made to your specific liking!! This place doesn't disappoint and the prices are more than reasonable especially when you take into consideration all of the fine ingredients, time and love that goes into everything they have to offer. It is my absolute favorite candy shop on the entire planet and I highly recommend stopping by or if that's not possible for you than just place an order for delivery!! You definitely won't be sorry that you did!! They'll ship it wherever whenever you want it and the presentation is just as glorious as the treats are!! So whether you're a local or just someone who's passing through Gardner Massachusetts... OMG you've gotta stop by because life is far to short to live it with any regrets!! Yes everything you can buy in the shop is also available for delivery/shopping as well!! No I am not employed by them hahaha just a very satisfied customer for over the last 20+ years is all!! Why would I want a simple Hershey bar when I could have some of their hand dipped chocolates and a pound of their homemade French rolls which I always say is for everyone but I typically keep it all for myself hehehe!! read more

It's a toss up. Is that a pink carrot or just definitely NOT a carrot.. This could be bad for business but my 12 year old boy found it hilarious. You're off the hook this time.... read more

Wonderful selection of candies! Shopped here for the holidays. Found something for everyone on my list: dark chocolate covered blueberries, variety boxes from small to grand sizes, caramels, solid chocolates in all kinds of shapes and designs, and the French roll was fabulous! I can highly recommend. Stop in for a visit, you won't be disappointed. And, if you arrive at the right time, you can watch the candy-making through the viewing windows. read more

I stopped in there today to buy there penuche fudge and it came in a white box when I opened the box there was no plastic wrap around the fudge so the fudge was rock hard. I understand them wanting to cut back maybe but they totally ruined there fudge. Who wants to eat rock hard dried up fudge which could be prevented by wrapping it in plastic wrap and then boxing it. I'll never go there again. read more

Visiting town for a relatives wedding and stopped in this shop. Their variety and quality of chocolates is unmatched - and they are all made on-site. The care that they put into making truly delicious chocolate confections is obvious. If you are a chocolate lover, this place is worth going out of your way to visit. read more

This is a great small, local candy store in Gardner! This is where my family usually buys chocolate for the holidays for stockings and gift boxes for co-workers and friends. The prices are a bit higher, but you are paying for quality. Some of my favorite items are from the peanut-butter filled lines- the Santa's or Eater Bunnies. read more

Tried this place yesterday for the first time and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. They had a nice selection of homemade case chocolates. Then came the true test the tasting and these chocolates were actually really delicious!! They were very creamy and had really good flavors. I tried quite a few and was impressed with all of them. Now that I know how delicious they are I fear my waist line will be in jeopardy of Priscilla's candy shop!! read more

I love this place! I always look forward to special occasions when I can go in and pick out a box of chocolates as a gift...and also a few for us at home too. They are always so nice there, and patient when I can't decide which pieces I'd like. I also love that it's a small local business that has been around for a long time. Great to support the locals! read more

This place is great! They have wonderful chocolates and candies. They make all the Holidays and special occasions just that....very special. If your lucky enough to get there on a candy making day you can watch them make wonderful tantalizing mouthfuls of sweets. At Christmas time I watched them making large candy canes. That in and of itself is a sweet treat. I'm so happy this small town business has stayed around for so long. It is these types of business' that make America's weight in gold. read more

Love this place!!!!! They still make their chocolate in the back of the store, and it is super delicious. Priscilla's is a little, family owned business that I have been getting my candy at since I was a kid. They still make my favorite- the French Roll!!!! Talk about melt-in-your-mouth yumminess. It's somewhere it between milk chocolate and fudge, rolled in crushed nuts. I make a point to stop here every time I am in Gardner and the shop is open! read more

There's nowhere better for unique handmade candies! Their chocolate is delicious, and I always count on them when I want to buy special gifts, seasonal treats or just grab a treat for myself. Their sugar free chocolate is also a great option- my dad has diabetes so I always buy some Priscilla's sugar free chocolate for him at Christmas and on his birthday. read more

Great store! Love the chocolate! Friendly help and I always get my candy there! I love their candy canes after thanksgiving. Way better than store bought ones! read more

Will never go here again. I keep giving them another chance because they're a small local business, and the only candy store in the area -- but never fails to disappoint! The staff on a recent Saturday consisted of three apathetic, disengaged, snippy teen girls who apparently were miffed to have to wait on my friend and me. They were completely clueless about the products sold when questioned about specific items and severely lacking in both knowledge of what they were selling as well as manners. We were treated abruptly and rudely without a smile or a thank you for forking over our hard earned dollars. If you are going to leave your business in the hands of young people, you should make certain they are well trained and at least make a tiny effort to be personable. The girl who waited on my friend was downright rude & had no idea what a "truffle" is. There were a few measly pieces of fudge in the display case, and when I asked if it was fresh and when it was made, the salesgirl assured me everything was very freshly made. I asked if I might taste it, and was told they don't offer samples. I have never been to a shop that will not allow customers a taste of their homemade fudge. My friend & I each bought over a pound @ $12./lb. Back at home an hour later, I attempted to bite into a piece of Penuche fudge and nearly broke my tooth. It was hard as a rock, crystallized outside and stale inside. I was very upset (especially at having been outright lied to) and wonder if the owners can understand my frustration! I called the shop and told the girl who answered I was returning for a refund. I was told they "could not do that," I would have to call back on Monday to speak to an owner/manager. I left my information and am STILL waiting for a return phone call. Update: owner finally called back & offered to replace my fudge. I drove to the shop a week later (it's difficult for me to get there during the week due to work schedule), and the sales clerks refused to give me a replace my, stating my receipt was too old. read more

I had them ship chocolate to Nevada, paid shipping and for ice pack and they were never received and they acted like they could care less!! They could not provide me with a tracking number and I was told no one signed for them. Never Again!!! read more

I witnessed today a most inappropriate customer service at the store in Gardner.The women (perhaps the owner) was very rude and inconsiderate to a customers needs..not helpful to help make a shopping experience that should be fun and satisfying..gave the impression she...the clerk...did not have the time to serve and left the customer very frustrated and regret the ride to Gardner...certainly there can't be another reason to go near THAT town !!! I heard that the young lady there was in training...I hope she learned a lesson on how NOT to serve a customer..she'll never make it othewise...last time there...hope the candies are a fraction as good as the service !!! read more

What s gem! From the moment I walked in, I was in love with this place. Left with a giant smile and a hundred bucks worth of WONDERFUL CHOCOLATE!! read more
