This is my go to chocolate shop. I grew up with a box of Sees Candies being part of every holiday. In my younger days before someone unfortunately told us sugar isn't healthy for us, I bought boxes for myself.
However most of my purchases have been a couple pieces at a time, to justify them giving me the free sample. Yes. I fess up. I go for free stuff. Sees has stayed true to that tradition. I gotta say it's amazing that wonderful tradition has remained.
I prefer chocolates loaded with flavor. I like nutty maple pecan type chocolates. I broke with that tradition and tried some fruity creams. Lemon, and others. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between the different fruity flavors I tried. They were all yummy sweet and satisfying but the lemon didn't taste very lemony to me. This probably proves I'm definitely the maple pecan person I thought I was. However...you can absolutely buy their assortments with every confidence that they will all be delicious. They have many great pre boxed assortment choices. Even though I prefer the NORMANDIE when I buy one or two...if you're thinking of buying me a box...I like the nut and cream assortments! A little of everything please.
As I said, my particular favorite cream is the NORMANDIE. It just has everything right for me. It has nuts, and to me, the most outstanding flavor that qualifies as a "taste sensation". That special flavor you can't get anywhere else.
But, one chocolate leads to another...so in trying to eat less sugar I've decided a Sees lollipop gives me the most bang for my sugar buck. I could consume many many...many many many...chocolate creams in less time than it takes to finish a lollipop. I consider these lollipops a sort of diet food when you consider how few calories one lollipop contains compared to the whole box of chocolates! (:-) LoL
My favorite flavor lollipop is the butterscotch. It's deliciously SWEET. I tried the Latte and it wasn't sweet enough for me. However my husband always prefers less sweetness, so many coffee loving people probably love the Latte. . Something for everyone.
If you haven't been to Sees lately...stop in. These ladies are so nice. And the feel of these shops hasn't changed in the decades...many many many decades, I've been coming to Sees. That's part of the charm. Time stands still. I'm always a little girl holding my grandmother's hand every time I walk through this door.
Check out all the pictures on this site! Makes me want to run up right now. Or at least go out to my car where I keep my stash of lollipops!
