First time trying this place and the cashier was very kind and helpful but the truffles were…read morehonestly bad. Lemon Lavender truffle: Tasted strongly of lavender oil and I couldn't take more than one bite before throwing it away. Apple Pie Truffle: Tasted okay mostly of cinnamon but it at least had some sweetness. Vanilla Truffle: I have no clue what flavor this was but it was not vanilla. It was really bad I couldn't even swallow the bite I took. It did have two distinct layers with a harder outside and a softer chocolate inside but again it was so bad. Strawberry Cheesecake Truffle: If you get any of these get this one because it was okay. It was very sweet and tasted mostly of artificial strawberry but I could at least swallow it. Peanut Butter Truffle: Really tasted like cardboard or stale air. I really can't say anything more I thought of any flavor peanut butter would be the savior but it was also bad. Overall I won't be coming back here unless they make some big changes to the recipes.

I was pretty surprised to see that both Santa and Ms. Clause was pretty good production imo--rather then your cheap Santa suit look and feel.

Those who visit, the line can get long so dress warm. The line does extend to the outside--but once you get inside, it's warm. After pictures with the Clauses, you're more than welcome to shop in their shop. They got a large variety of chocolate, and have the "fancier" chocolate on display. They also do serve ice cream on site. Plenty of parking and they also don't seem to mind you parking on the lawn in front of the building if you need to. Cheers and Happy Holidays.

"Well, I don't need a doctor I don't need a nurse Anything…read moreyou give me babe will only make me worse I need rock therapy" (Stray Cats) You know a chocolate business is serious about their products when they name that business "Chocolate Therapy". Since 2011, they've created hand-made artisanal truffles, bark, and wrapped chocolates just twenty miles west of Boston. We saw them being promoted on a television news show, and since we both have a weakness for chocolate, decided to give their "Trio Nut Bark" a go. It came in a pretty boxed gift set with three different chocolate barks in generously portioned 3" X 3" squares. There were four squares of each of the three flavors for a total of twelve yummy squares. Here are the over-the-top descriptions from their website: 1) Rich Dark Chocolate Almond bark sprinkled with delicate French grey sea salt 2) Creamy White Chocolate Bark with the satisfying crunch of green hued slightly sweet pistachios 3) Smooth Milk Chocolate Bark with the delightful crunch of roasted buttery Cashews So how did our $24.50 + shipping chocolates taste? The Rich Dark Chocolate Almond bark was top notch. Excellent dark chocolate flavor, plenty of big almond pieces, and that light touch of sea salt really finished it off. The Creamy White Chocolate Bark was excellent, and I was impressed by the large amount of full-sized pistachio nuts in the square. The Milk Chocolate Bark was fantastic -smooth, creamy, and sweet with plenty of crushed cashews to boost up the taste and add to the texture. They were all so good, I really can't say I had a favorite. In summary, their chocolates are magnificent. BTW, their website advertises a very cool experience for ten or more - a Virtual Chocolate Tasting, with chocolate kits for your guests, a lesson on how chocolate is made, and chocolate tastings along each step of the process.

I can't walk past this store without getting a few too many goodies - it's not good for my wallet at all. Favorites here are the milk chocolate bark with pistachios, the strawberry stick, and far too many of the praline truffles. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate and much prefer milk, even though the milk chocolate at most places tends to be cloyingly sweet - Laderach gets it right, not overly sweet but still rich. If you get a box of this chocolate, know that whoever gifted it truly cherishes you! Depending on who's manning the counter, you may be lucky to get some samples.

10 West Market - formerly the site of the Paxton Police Department, is this small-sized business…read morewith BIG, positive ++++ customer relations !! I've seen managers arrive 'n go, as often is the case in busybusybusy places such as this, but that is getting ahead of the story. 10 West Specialty Market is, first and foremost, a charming spot on your 'to-do list", that local spot that boasts of some of the freshest, tastiest, cleanest businesses in town. Not e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g shall be found here: a 7-11 it is not (nothing against 7-11s personally!) but this is the kind of place where you'll not find like Ho-Hos, Twinkies, Dentyne, packets of Aleve, etc etc etc. To further delineate between "us" and "them", one vital thing you should know about 10 West is ... is that they're believers in the HOMEMADE first. If that should fail to work with bringing you your favorite items, I am sure that things could be arranged for you sure enough! This "Mom "n Pop" identity within 10 West's Marketing Plan reminds me of nearby Vermont, that bastion of anti-Walmart (et al) corporate giants, that State that declares the Sam's Wholesale, etc etc as being persona non grata 365/7/24. (Not sure if Team Sanders has a solid legal basis for this approach ... seeing that Walmart is the largest corporation in the WORLD and no doubt hires Americans aplenty!). Just the same, 10 West has plenty going for it - which is PROOF that not only are bosses truly paying close attention but also, the KEY here is followed up by the central question - the question being, "Paying close attention to what?" Here is where ANY business located in rural areas in any part of rural America is keenly advised to have a winning 'heads up' approach in any business they've launched themselves. Ever watch shows like 'Kitchen Nightmares', etc etc etc. Yes sir-eee, Bob !! Notice how methodically Chef Ramsay ATTACKS problems head on? One solid prospect about this Market is already evident: already established and for the most part thriving ... I would imagine the next level to be attained is - "How do we keep our success continuing without interruption? How to insure it on that same continuous basis?" Exactly, boys & girls. EXACTLY. 1st, one if not thee most important of all aspects of business is how well do clients get treated by Staff the moment they arrive in your front door. I have been coming to Paxton for almost a decade and a half, and full well know that without question - even at their worst of days, 10 West Market makes a kindly greeting a specialty. You'll feel like fam alright, which is - for them at least - par for the course. Take a look around and quickly enough, you'll spot the #1 reason why you and so many faithfuls know exactly what you've come for ....quality. BEEF is PRIME - and ditto-ditto for the Salmon ... the Shrimps ... the Steaks. Chops the size of small BRICKS. Oh yeah, baby! The relatively small size of the display cases, not crammed with items yet also not sparsely 'populated' either as well. Well thought out, certainly. You shall find sausages of numerous kinds - garlic, hot, Chinese, regular - its all there. Bring along grass fed hamburger, the foot-longs, the various specialty salads ... and, of course, the deli meats/cheeses (that I avoid personally) and there we have it, you have the main players per se. Other refrigerators offer select sodas, quinine water/seltzers, milk & 1/2 & 1/2 - got that covered. Chips, etc. Donuts and cookies and pies ......WORD. Remember - if 10 West can either home make it themselves, they will ..if not, they'll order off the back of a truck. Not rocket science, no ... but all the same, its this devotion to helping local artisans say... making donuts instead of going the Krispy Kreme route. This devotion and loyalty makes every bit of difference, and easily explains the steady stream of customers who, without fail, march right in, get their favs and soon enough are on their way? For sure, you'll pay more but then again, remember what I mention next ... Take, for instance, my favorite chain store that sells gasoline just outside - its WAWAs, a store I frequent down South that has an extremely busy client base and often long lines to go with it. But there is also a very, very important aspect of doing business with the public that WaWa's most definitely requires improving too. I speak completely truthfully here. In less than 12 months, I found no FEWER than 6 half gals of milk waaaaaay beyond their current expiration dates. Each time I made mention of it, and each time next was the same exact story. NOTHING improving ='s time to get moving on! BE CAREFUL, people! In the here and now, I say 10 West Specialty Food Market in Paxton, MA is YOUR go-to market as well. Swing along and check things out! What do we have to lose? Precisely! - Doc
