Hilliards Candy is that South Shore stalwart that you may have forgotten until you really need it!…read moreIt's been in the area for, well, forever! and for my family at least, it's been bringing sweet treats for about 40 years. A few years ago the store moved from the cramped space in Norwell at Assinippi Corners to a fresh, larger building right at Queen Anne Corner on Rt. 53, across from Alfredo Aiello. It manages to have to same cozy feeling as the old store when you walk in and are surrounded by whatever seasonal chocolates are displayed, plus the cases full of chocolates, truffles, jelly beans, foil-wrapped chocolates - everything! It's a given that the big holidays - Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day - have everything and everything you could want to make a sweet tooth happy. I've spent many visits to Hilliards picking up waaaay too much candy for big holidays as well as the smaller ones (St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween) because "I need to bring candy to work!" More like, "I need to bring candy home!" Displays are fresh and full, the prices won't make you blink- think delicious without breaking the bank - and the staff is low key helpful rather than hard sell. I especially like that since I like to roam around, walking the hardwood floor, shopping the one-for method: one for you, one for me. One for you, one for . . . well you get it! Lots of parking in the back of the building, so look past the teeny 3-space area in front and just follow the arrows to the back door-and sometimes there're samples!

By no means am I a chocolate connoisseur - meaning that, frankly, you stick candy in front of me,…read moreI'll eat it. I know what I like and what I don't, but that's about as far as it goes. One of my colleagues surprised me with a box of the sea salt caramels recently and I wrote him an email that read like this: "Mother of God. These chocolates are amazing. Thank you so much...I want to hate you for introducing me to these, but they are so good, I can't." That pretty much sums it up. I don't even want to try anything else because I'm not sure that it can get any better than those sea salt caramels. They are little pieces of confectionery heaven and I'd go to church if they were served for communion.

This candy shop is an encouraging reminder that there are still small, local, family-run companies…read morethat take enormous pride in their work, have a great product and give superb customer service. Puopolo Candies is one such shop where the delicious assortment of chocolates and candies are almost all made on site and are made by hand. To shop here means you are dealing directly with the owners and candy makers. This is not at all like purchasing a box of chocolates from a corporation such as the one that owns Godiva...ugh. These are made from all natural flavorings and ingredients and no preservatives. You can get all the choices in either milk or dark chocolate. If you're in a rush you can pick up a pre-made up box but I think it's infinitely more fun to make up your own assortment. It's the grown-up version of going to the corner candy store and picking out your bag of penny candy choices. I'm not sure I can pick just one favorite here because I love just about everything but the chocolate bark with cranberries and pistachios comes to mind as does the buttercrunch. When I'm here, I'm pleasantly reminded of the service in local village shops in Italy where even the smallest purchase is often given great care by being wrapped nicely in pretty paper. Similarly, at Puopolo the staff will box and wrap and ribbon whatever it is you're buying. The result is that you feel great walking out of here with your delicious and pretty chocolate treasures whether it's for you or for a gift. You can have special orders made up too so just tell them what you're thinking about doing with chocolate and they'll help you execute your desire. I love this shop and the people who work here. Making chocolates by hand is an art and Puopolo does it beautifully and tastefully.

There is a glass case where you can buy single chocolates and there are also some very nice looking boxed candies on display on the other side of the store.

I also got to try a piece of their chocolate bark that they were sampling on the day I visited the store. The chocolate here is rather pricey but their products are so delicious that it is well worth it. The staff at the counter was very nice and they were a pleasure to deal with.

Thankfully, we arrived at the same time, and Beth was able to accommodate our family. There were chocolates in every corner and variety. How do you even choose?

There were no pictures to post because we indulged as soon as we walked out the front door. We tried not to spoil our dinner, but who could resist? Each piece was rich yet smooth. You could taste her love for baking and dedication to satisfying each customer's sweet tooth. Thank you for making the time! Nearly three weeks later and our son is still raving about Beth's chocolates.
