This particular chocolate shoppe looked promising. They had a reasonably large selection, some looked quite unique and well done. When we stepped in, they offered us a small sample. It was a tasty bit of maple fudge. We ended up getting a couple of large Toffee Peanut Butter Cups. We ate them later, back on the bus, and honestly, they were a bit disappointing. The chocolate was way to thick for my tastes. But the filling itself was good. My suggestion? Spend more time knocking the chocolate out of the molds before letting them set. The staff person who assisted us was super friendly and helpful.

I should have checked out the reviews on this spot. The service was meh, didn't really act like…read morethey wanted to be there which is fine. But the fudge wasn't fudge. I love fudge, I do. It's my favorite thing. I look forward to it every time I see a chocolate shop. I was so excited. It's more like crunchy, caramelized fudge. Which is fine if you think that's what you're getting. But I wanted rich and creamy. Traditional fudge which is what they market. We ended up throwing it away we were so sad.

I asked for a sea salt caramel which they didn't have but they did have sea salt peanut butter cups. While sea salt caramels are my go to, I opted to try the peanut butter version. I'm not sure what it is about chocolate and sea salt but replacing caramel with peanut butter was not a concern. It was so good. I got it on a napkin so I could eat as we walked back to our hotel. I suspect I'll be back there trying another bit of chocolate before we leave here.

This place always has a line out the door. One of the guides in my touring group told us about Cows…read moreand how popular It is. I initially wasn't interested in waiting in a long line for ice cream. But later decided to check them out at the end of my trip to satisfy my curiosity. Plus it was a warm day and I had already finished all of my shopping. Cows is located in the heart of Downtown Banff and is known for their hand-made premium ice cream. Cows has a variety of flavors with fun creative names like the Gooey Mooey, Cownadien Maple and Wowie Cowie. The people in line were really excited to be experiencing this place. I also noticed Cows has a large gift shop area that sells cow-themed merchandise and apparel. There was a lot of cool stuff to check out in the store. I grabbed my coffee flavored Caramel Moocchiato ice cream and one of their snack items and spent time in the gift shop. Overall, Cows was a fun experience and I am glad a was able to squeeze this place in at the end of my trip.

This candy store is a sure seduction when walking the main boardwalk in Banff, the only thing that…read moreis my largest criticism is the size of the store rows. In fact just walking into the store itself you have to wait till the people either goes in or out before you yourself enter in or out. Also while walking down the rows I think I knocked over a couple of packages and I saw a couple of abandoned lollipops strewn on the floor. For candies be sure to expect Old Tyme Favourites, Liquorice, Chocolate Bars, Chocolates Liqueur, Chocolate & Candies Liqueur, Sugar Free Chocolate & Candies, and Maple Syrup Products. But my favourite areas was the Pez wall, would you like Pez candy being served to you by the throat of Johnny Depp as a pirate, Orlando Bloom, or perhaps from Hello Kitty or Donald Duck. The sky's the limit on this Pez board. There seems to be back areas where they make candy or the gift wrap the products you buy. I am not quite sure as I got kind of claustrophobic so I had to leave. But this candy shop has every option of candy in my opinion.

Beavertails came up and we saw they had shops within Banff, so we decided to try them out after our lunch. They had a flavor called "mEHple" and since maple syrup is also a Canada staple, we figured this would be a good pick. What we didn't notice was the chocolate drizzle that was on top of the maple syrup in the menu photo. The chocolate overwhelmed the entire dessert, and was a bit too much for our group. The pastry was good, crispy and flaky, but we really couldn't get through the entire thing without getting a huge bite of chocolate syrup. I think if they had put less chocolate, or even removed the chocolate altogether and just left the maple syrup, that would've been way better!
