This is like the holy Grail of candy stores. They have everything for everyone, including candy from back in a day so to speak. We're always cheerfully greeted when we go into the store. It looks great in the store smells amazing and I have a small little ice cream parlor in the back left corner. We opted to get some of the fruit slices, which are incredible and have it incredible flavor Also, we got the chocolate bear claws. I guess they called them a little expensive but well worth it. It has some type of chop nuts a really smooth creamy caramel and you can opt to get milk, chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate. These are absolute favorites. read more

Wanted to get some ice cream from not a usual chain place and decided to stop in here. My family and I really enjoyed the ice cream and milkshake we got. I got praline and bearclaw flavored ice cream. It had great taste and flavor. The cashier there, think her name was Faith was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place. read more

The store is very clean and there is a wide variety of candy. They were nice enough and gave me free samples of gelato

As soon as I entered this candy heaven, an employee handed me a praline over the candy making counter! O M G It was so amazing. I don't think this foodie has ever had one before. How?!! Hmmm! It was amazingly delicious and smooth. This incredible store had such unique and beautiful items. A bit expensive but worth it! read more

Decent gelato- got an order of a small chocolate. The flavor itself was very pleasant and rich. However, there were pieces of ice in the gelato, which shouldn't be the case. Not bad if you're in the area. Check out some other treats in the store if you're going to buy something. read more

[546] Walking by this location I could not help but walking in due to the amazing chocolate smells. They also have a counter near the window so you can see the staff making caramel/chocolate. The set up of this new store is great. Front of store has tons of bulk candy options to choose from by the pound. The middle of the store has a chocolate counter so any type of fresh chocolate you desire you can find here... pretzels, oversized dipped rice krispie treats and more. The back section has an ice cream counter which due to weather we passed (it was snowing out). We picked up a bunch of stuff. Pros - tasty chocolate. We picked up some fresh chocolate/caramel and it was great. Cons - WAY too expensive... $15lb for bulk candy... which would not be bad if the candy was made by them but I'm talking about bulk candy.. wrapped stuff that you can find anywhere... Kid picked up some bulk candy but we probably will allow it this one time. Will I be back? Yes but ONLY for the freshly made stuff. read more

Really all things sweets!! Photographed is a caramel apple dipped in chocolate then rolled with mini M&Ms ($10). Packaging is nice and they dipped the apple upon request. Not sure if they do this all the time or only because it was the grand opening. The Rice Krispie treats are huge and also dipped in chocolate with various topping options. This isn't your normal chocolate shop, expect over the top treats with the higher price tag to go along with it. read more

over price products. I've sampled a chocolate peanut butter candy bar and it was bland. I've purchased their gelato mango ice cream and that was bland and artificial flavor. There was no real fruit or juices. Its best to sample the item before making a purchase. One scoop of ice cream cost me $4..50 I'd stay away from there and don't recommend it. read more

Rip-Off!!! I purchased a dark chocolate peanut butter cup here recently and it was terrible! Very bland, no flavor whatsoever and at $7.14 including tax for 1 peanut butter cup it was TOO EXPEENSIVE! It tasted a lot like a store brand packaged peanut butter cup I had purchased a while back - but the price for those was $2.00 for 2 peanut butter cups, not $7.00 for one! Don't waste your money! read more

Not to be dramatic, but I will never get anything from them again. Their stuff is STUPID expensive. The girl who rung me out and served me was very nice and the atmosphere is definitely cute and nostalgic but I paid $15 for TWO peanut butter cups. They charge $24/lb of their chocolates. I know of non-chain candy stores that are much more reasonably priced. And the peanut butter cups were nothing to rave about either :( read more

Worth the stop for the chocolate treats! Delicious! So glad we made the trip! I can't often find much white chocolate so this was a jackpot!

Awesome place! Sweets are amazing. Great staff, enjoyed our time conversing with Miran and Christopher who made us feel very welcomed. Will for sure stop by again soon! read more

Great! Super helpful and super delicious--those pralines are out of this world! Go visit!!!

I was looking to kill time while black Friday shopping with the family. The gentleman in the top hat out front was so nice and offered me popcorn so I decided to step in lmao. I picked up a bag of regular popcorn and a half pound of chocolate covered almonds and they were really really good. I don't remember the price but it wasn't bad at all. I didn't spend to much time inside but it looks as though everything is hand made fresh on site which was cool. read more

NEVER GOING BACK. As i walked around a i saw one of the male employees drop an apple then put it back on the shelf. i already had my candy in my bag and decided to check out and my total was stupid expensive. Also the man who rung me out was very rude a threw the candy at me if i could give it 0 stars i would. read more

This place is a much needed additive to lancaster county! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. And can we talk about all the homemade goodies! From the ice-cream to the candy it's a sweet tooth's dream land! Can't wait to go back and I have definitely my new spot for gifts! read more

This is an amazing store. If given the chance, you need to go here. I love candy apples and they have so many delicious flavors to go on them it's crazy. My fav is the traditional red candy apple and they are always fresh. Their fudge is to die for and their marshmallows on a stick decorated with different candy is also so good. The store employees are so nice. If you want to try something they will give you a sample. This is one of my fav stores at Tanger! read more

YUMMMM!!!! This Place is amazing! I will be recommending it to all my family and friends. The customer service was fantastic, everyone had a smile on their face ans was ready and willing to help. They offered samples to try and gave opinions about their favorites. It was just a warm friendly atmosphere. Everything we have tried/purchased has been amazing however their fudge is phenomenal! Do not leave without trying it!!! The best part is you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. read more

This store smells sooo good. You can even smell it walking on the sidewalks. The workers are nice. I feel like it's a bit pricey. I got peanut butter cups- two ended up being around $11. They were about three inches across- fairly large. They tasted ok but not to die for. read more

Stopped in for a few minutes today although the Dr of mine would not have been happy. The young lady waiting on me was very friendly and helpful and another gentleman in there was also very friendly. I picked up some Pralines and a couple other candies. The white chocolate Coconut candy I picked up were just so so. I love coconut but the flavor was not strong enough for me. The Pralines were very good. My rating would have been a 4 had it not been for what I assume the young lady was told to do. I found the tissue she used to pick out the candy in the bag which is something that has always bothered me as it has to pick up contaminants from whatever hands were holding it. I read a few years back from a health dept article that restaurants/stores should not be doing this for this exact reason. Also, each of the two bags holding the candy had a cardboard discount card for the store included. Again, handled by bare hands and placed with the candy. I certainly am not a germaphobic but this does bother me. Even with this I don't regret going into the store. But management, this needs to be addressed. read more
