See's Candies is an outstanding chocolate shop that has locations all over the US. They make fresh, delicious chocolates and candies to satisfy even over-the-top sweet treat lovers like me! :-)
Whichever See's location you pick, when you enter you'll find a store with white walls and floors, as well as a picture of Mary See, the mother of See's founder Charles See on the wall.
I've visited this location several times, and each time I was warmly greeted by an employee and immediately offered a free sample and some friendly help. That's a win in my book for exceptional customer service! I noticed that all the items were well stocked too, so I didn't need to ask twice about anything I wanted.
It's really hard to go wrong with their chocolates and candy! Some items are only seasonal, and only available for special holidays and/or at certain times of year. However, Most of the things they sell are available all year :-)
Here are some of my favorites:
"Peanut Butter Pattie": If you could flatten out a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, you'd have a See's Peanut Butter Pattie. When I'm getting just a few treats from See's, I usually go for the Milk Bordeaux and these peanut butter gems. The feature old-fashioned, smooth peanut butter with powdered sugar covered in milk chocolate. Though I feel like the peanut butter taste in these candies is not as strong as they are in Reese's, the creamy peanut butter and velvety milk chocolate combo is still delightful ... one of my favorites.
"Dark Bordeaux": Though I often get the Milk Bordeaux rather the Dark Bordeaux, this delightful chocolate is a great switch-up every once and again. Similar to its milk chocolate sibling, this treat is covered in rich dark chocolate and features a creamy brown sugar soft center, but it's and decorated with dark chocolate sprinkles. Because this treat is made with dark chocolate, it's less rich and indulgent than the milk chocolate version, but it's still a deliciously sweet pick-me-up ... perfect for dark chocolate lovers.
"Milk Bordeaux": My everyday choice of the two Bordeaux chocolate "siblings" here, often get the Milk Bordeaux, and save the larger-than-life Dark Bordeaux treat for special occasions. This chocolate delight provides just the right hint of sweetness after a savory meal. Decorated with chocolate sprinkles, its covered in milk chocolate and features a creamy brown sugar soft center and is. I think the luscious, creamy brown sugar center is the best part of this chocolate. It's simply unmatched in both taste and texture! I also like the milk chocolate sprinkles on the outside, which provide a welcomed crunch.
"Dark Chocolate Chip Truffle": This is one of my favorite truffles from See's. Topped off with dark chocolate sprinkle, it features a creamy, rich truffle center of semi-sweet chocolate and chocolate chips covered in rich dark chocolate. Talk about a dark chocolate trifecta! I love the fudgy, moist chocolate center, as well as the tiny chocolate chips embedded throughout the dark chocolate truffle. And, of course, you can't forget about the delicious and sweet dark chocolate sprinkles that complete this delicious piece of candy.
Bottom line: If you love chocolate, you owe yourself a visit to See's at your first opportunity :-) read more
