    If nostalgia had a smell, it would be the second you open the door at Wertz Candies…read more This place is pure hometown magic. The kind of shop that's clearly been doing things right for decades because they don't need to shout about it. You walk in and immediately get hit with the warm, buttery aroma of their homemade caramel corn, and honestly? Game over. Your willpower never stood a chance. They make so much in-house, and you can tell it's done with care. The candy cases are packed with classics, handmade treats, and those "oh wow, I haven't seen that since I was a kid" finds. On top of that, they carry other great local goodies, which just makes the whole experience feel even more special and community-rooted. And the chocolate-covered strawberries? Absolutely delicious. Fresh, juicy berries with a smooth, rich chocolate coating that's not overly sweet just perfectly balanced. Simple. Classic. Nailed it. Wertz Candies isn't trying to be trendy. It doesn't need to be. It's cozy, charming, and exactly what a local candy shop should be. If you're nearby and don't stop in... frankly, that's on you. A forever favorite. Classic for a reason.

    The friendly staff are always willing to help you pick out many kinds of candy based on your…read morerequests.

    I recently participated in Georgie Lou's Retro Candy's 6th Annual Sweetheart Stroll, and while this…read moremay have been their sixth time hosting it, it was my first time even hearing about it. I immediately corrected that mistake by buying a ticket the moment I saw the event posted--and then started counting down the days. The concept alone sold me: a ticketed, adults-focused stroll through downtown Carlisle, with participating small businesses offering tastings, experiences, treats, and deals. Sweethearts of all kinds were welcome--couples, besties, gal pals--and dressing in red and pink for Valentine's vibes was strongly encouraged. Say less. Ticketing was super easy, and Georgie Lou's did a fantastic job with pre-event communication, especially via social media. One post in particular deserves a shout-out: a reminder to bring a bag to carry your treats. This is something I absolutely would not have thought about until I was awkwardly shoving sweet treats into my coat pockets. I came prepared with a small reusable shopping bag (pink, obviously), and by the end of the stroll it was completely full of sweets, trinkets, and purchases. Meanwhile, others were struggling with overflowing pockets alongside gloves, hats, maps, and life regrets. Lesson learned. Excellent advice! I found parking around 1pm and headed to Georgie Lou's to check in and grab my materials. The staff were incredibly friendly, checked my name off the list, and sent me on my way with a Map of Hearts, a button identifying me as an official 2026 Sweetheart Stroller, and a small sweet treat to kick things off. I also took some time to explore the shop itself--my first visit--and wow! They have managed to pack an impressive amount of nostalgic goodness into a small space. Total blasts from the past, plus candies I'd never seen before. Super fun shop! From there, the stroll itself was a delight. Georgie Lou's clearly put a lot of care into coordinating participating businesses, and it showed. Most spots offered sweet treats, discounts, or special offerings, but every single business was warm, welcoming, and happy to have folks stopping in. Even though I've done a few downtown Carlisle walk-style events before, I still discovered shops I'd never been in--and every purchase I made that day was from a place I was visiting for the first time. That alone feels like a win. Overall, this was a fantastic way to spend a few hours on a very chilly January Saturday. It got me out of the house, walking downtown, supporting local businesses, and discovering gems I usually zoom past while driving from Point A to Point B. I had such a great time that I jokingly asked if I could pre-register for next year... apparently that's "not a thing yet." Fine. I'll wait. :) This has officially been added to my annual tradition list. Great event, great execution, great vibes. Well done, Georgie Lou's!

    Great nostalgic candy shop...lots of unique inventory! Definitely a great gift spot for people of…read moreall ages.
