This candy shop is located in the Factory Square, Rosie's great grandmother owned a candy store for decades. Rosie is a third generation chocolatier and using the same recipes as her great grandmother. The chocolates are fresh and made in small batches. There were all kinds of sweets in there, from candies, confections, gum, fudge, frozen treats, etc. The place was organized and smelled so good. The employee was super friendly and helpful. My family and I enjoyed browsing. We purchased chocolate covered Oreos and chocolate covered potato chips. My toddler had lollipops and rock candy. We saw cricket and larvae lollipops, not our thing but a novelty and would be a funny gag gift. They had some unique items to choose from too. Overall, a great spot to make your sweet tooth happy. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. The lady at the front desk yelled at my 2 year old and my 6 year old for picking up different heavily packaged food items and asking my family if they can have it. From the moment we got in, the whole ambiance of the place was absolutely horrible. We got stared down like a hawk from the moment we entered. Along with that- we didn't get a singular smile, greeting, or goodbye. The whole time the woman at the front stood with a clear attitude. And to me- prices seemed a bit high. A singular rock candy cost 2 dollars without tax. Is it just me or is that a bit high? read more

I have had tasty treats from Rosie's Royal Chocolates several times over the years, because she used to have pop up stores where I work. Until this holiday shopping season, I had never visited Rosie's Brick and Mortar in Southington's Factory Square though. Whether as a pop up or at Factory Square, there is no denying that Rosie makes and sells delicious stuff. The Factory Square store is very cool. Lots of variety and high quality stuff. One of Rosie's specialties is chocolate covered stuff. Pretzels. Potato chips. Graham crackers. Etc. I have a soft spot for such treats because my Aunt has made similar things my whole life. I recently bought Rosie's pretzels, potato chips, sweet coated peanuts, and Green Apple licorice for stocking stuffers. Every single one was delicious. There are other cool spots in Factory Square too. Baked goods, beer, coffee and dog treats. You can make a couple of hours of it. Five Stars read more

Very cool candy shop in a great industrial area in Southington! They have all types of chocolate covered treats from Oreos to Doritos to even slim Jims! I wasn't as adventurous this time but I did find my favorite sesame candy and got some chocolate covered pretzels to try. Love how organized everything was and how the prices were clearly labeled. Staff was friendly and can't wait to go back! read more

Rosie’s Royal Chocolates - Chocolate covered Doritos - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

If you think your willpower is pretty good, here's an easy test to see just how tough you really are.  Just stroll into Southington's Factory Square building and navigate your way over to Rosie's Royal Chocolates. I triple dog dare you to walk out empty handed. We sure couldn't. Chocolate making has been a branch of owner Rosie's family tree for 54 years. She is a third generation chocolatier (now honestly, isn't that coolest word you've read today?) She makes her chocolates in small batches using high quality ingredients and "fair trade coco". And if you want to see some creative uses of chocolate, you will flip your cocoa beans at what Rose has cooked up for you. Chocolate covered pretzels, potato chips, S'mores, peanut butter cups with bacon, two kinds of Chocolate Covered Doritos, chocolate covered Twinkies, and be still my heart -a chocolate covered Slim Jim. We spied some enormous chocolate covered apples ($14.99) that were as big as grapefruits. We picked up one with toffee chips and can't wait to try it. By the way, I want to mention how gorgeous the store is - a wonderful combination of cotton candy pink and milk chocolate brown stripes with table after table and shelf after shelf filled to the brim with product. They really did a beautiful job designing the store. And I also want to give a shout ou to Rosie's husband who was on duty today. He was a super nice guy and we were so impressed at the way he engaged a young child in conversation about the store and its name. This is the kind of small family owned business you really feel good about supporting. And with the holidays coming up, you have every opportunity to do just that! read more

WOW! What a treat that's come to Southington! We just couldn't ignore Rosie's as we walked to get our coffees at Perkatory. Of course we had to stop in! I was blown away by all the fun goodies they sell. They have anything and everything dipped in chocolate - doritos, potato chips, twinkies, cinnamon toast crunch, pretzels, beef jerky, sour patch kids...you name it! I was intrigued by the chocolate covered cool ranch doritos and I am never one to shy away from a weird food combo (hello peanut butter & bacon). Let me just say, this is a weird a** match made in heaven. They were incredible! I also had to pick up an infamous hot cocoa bomb. Rosie's was serving up peanut butter bombs which is the first time I've seen this combo. How has nobody else thought of this yet?! To add onto the already perfect visit to this wonderful chocolate shop, was Rosie. She is such a joy to talk to and you can tell this is her passion. It was so fun hearing what they experiment with, what her favorite chocolates are, and more. Next time we're in the area, we're absolutely going to stock up. There were a few chocolate covered oreos calling my name... read more

Rosie's Royal Chocolates is a craft chocolaterie that opened in Toms River, New Jersey in October 2017. It was founded by chocolatier Rosie O'Kinsky. O'Kinsky's great grandmother owned a candy shop for 54 years. She passed down some of those old candy recipes to Rosie, who uses nearly 70% cacao in her chocolate. She began making chocolates and fudge from scratch in early 2000 and sold them at corporate offices and festivals. By October 2017, she opened her own brick and mortar chocolatierie in Toms River, New Jersey where she lived. For several years, Rosie was selling several of her candy creations at major employers in Connecticut (where she used to live). Eventually she decided to relocate both her home and her business to Connecticut. Her new chocolatierie opened at Southington's Factory Square in February 2020. Rosie is now using an enrober, which is a machine that coats food in chocolate. She makes about 1,000 pieces of chocolate with the machine each week. I recently stopped at Rosie's for the first time while I was cycling by on the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. Factory Square is located conveniently alongside the trail. One thing I love about the building is that it's home to so many cool businesses: including Witchdoctor Brewing Company, GameCraft Arcade, Perkatory Coffee Roasters, Montana Nights Axe-Throwing, and Leaps & Bones. Rosie's had such a wide selection of chocolate creations, including chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered twinkies, and chocolate covered bacon. I decided to pick out some treats for my family. For my wife I picked out Dark Chocolate Covered Cool Ranch Doritos, for my son I picked out Chocolate Covered Pretzels, and for myself I picked out Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans. Everyone was happy with what I picked; this is some seriously good chocolate! I look forward to returning! read more

I just want people to know that if you go be aware that you will find that the woman that is behind the counter is just nuts as some of the chocolate nuts that it's sold in there. Her attitude and strange behavior is really something else that will make you wonder why she is there. read more

I love this place! I always come here for holiday shopping. Any holiday! I love the variety of candies and chocolate. I love the handmade choices like chocolate covered twinkies, Oreos and fine candies like dried fruit dipped in chocolates. They have fun vintage candies. They are always so friendly and kind. It's in a great space and fun area. Right off the bike path so nice to ride to if you have that option. read more

Rosie's Royal Chocolates is the best chocolatier around! I've had multiple great experiences here both with the service and the yummy chocolate. I absolutely loved the "Quarantine Packages" they were serving up at the beginning of COVID. There was honestly nothing better than treating yourself and others to some homemade chocolate treats during such unforeseen times. Rosie is the most delightful woman with a big heart. I placed a couple last minute orders and she was able to put my baskets together super fast and even added in extras to make it look fancy pants. I traveled back home to Buffalo for the summer and I wanted to bring my family back a bunch of chocolate so I put it a large order for pick up and Rosie had everything ready for me with ice packs for the drive and she even threw in some extra treats for me and my family, it was so sweet!!(literally!). I highly recommend this place if you are craving some chocolate or need a candy fix for yourself or if you want to bring the wonderful gift of chocolate to a friend, the basket is only $5 extra, such a great deal! I pretty much tried all the amazing chocolate here and my favorite is surprisingly the chocolate covered gummi bears. Trust me, try them! At Rosie's, there is everything from homemade chocolate peanut butter cups to chocolate covered ranch Doritos. There is something for everyone. Thank you for serving Southington the best chocolate around! read more

Fun chocolate store with some tasty confections! I love the chocolate covered cinnamon toast crunch!

Beautiful place, like walking into an old candy shop...Got some different chocolates for my girlfriend and ended up eating half of them. So, I'll be back Very good/ friendly service read more

They carry my favorite treat: dark-chocolate-covered espresso beans. Their chocolate covered cherries can be described in one word: YUM! My only complaint is the cherries packaging, plastic dome with grab tab on lid. Trouble is, there's no grab tab on the bottom, so pulling the dome apart without causing cherries to fly was challenging. I think Rosie's would do better with a rectangular packaging for the chocolate covered cherries. read more
