If you go through Rockledge you have to stop at Grimaldi Candies, founded by Vincent Grimaldi,…read moreMelbourne's Candy Man. Grimaldi was a 10th-generation Italian confectioner. In 1961 while strolling the snack aisle in Miami he got the idea to cover potato chips in chocolate and the rest his history. Since 1969 Grimaldi's has been famous for their Chips N Chocolate, chocolate covered potato chips. They are also known for their Ghost Pepper Caramels and Key Lime Truffles. All of the treats are made with high quality ingredients and without additives or preservatives. Grimaldi sold his namesake business in 1999 when he retired. Jim and Trisha Frazier became the fourth owners of Grimaldi's when they purchased the business in 2014. Today, Grimaldi Candy Co. is one of the largest specialty chocolate manufacturers in the southeastern United States. This is the production plant and cute retail store on U.S. 1 in Rockledge and there is also a retail store at The Avenue Viera. You can book a factory tour for your visit here. For the longest time I have wanted to stop at Grimaldi's whenever I passed the exit but I was always in a rush to reach somewhere else. I finally got the chance to visit this summer and the experience did not disappoint. As soon as I came in I was warmly welcomed and offered a sampling tray of their classic treats including the Key Lime Truffle. They sell bark, the chocolate covered chips in milk and dark chocolate, caramels, fudge, truffles, dipped treats, and more. They even have sugar free options. They also have a little boutique area selling gift items like water bottles, wallets, hats, jewelry, and bath items. After serious deliberation I left with a box of Chips N' Chocolate, white and milk chocolate haystacks, Pecan Rum Bark, and coffee truffles. My haul will last me a long time. The white haystack was especially creamy and delicious. Grimaldi's chocolate is rich and you can taste the difference. If you want to be the most popular person at your next gathering, show up with a box of the Chips N' Chocolate. They are the the perfect addictive combination of salty sweet. You can't go wrong with any of the treats here. It is easy to see why they have stood the test of time.

Rockledge? Why are we going to Rockledge? I asked my friend. "There's nothing in Rockledge." …read more... WRONG!!! There is Grimaldi Candies. The star of the show there is the chocolate covered chips which you can choose either milk, or dark. They're ridiculously good! I have to say though, my personal favorite from here is the dark chocolate covered pretzels with the ghost pepper chili; omg.. sooo good if you're a fan of spicy sweet items. I love how my lips are tingling afterwards! The absolute cure for when you're having a rough day ladies; do it! P.S. - They ship. Just call and make arrangements.

You can tell they're not cutting corners here. The service really stood out. Staff was attentive without being overbearing, quick with anything we needed, and genuinely welcoming.

It actually feels like a place you'd come back to, not just try once. Bottom line: solid food, strong service, and a good overall experience. Definitely worth a visit if

**INITIAL REVIEW** I…read moreonly heard about 321 Popcorn & Stuff (which I will shorthand simply to 321 Popcorn for the remainder of this review) thanks to them behing a highlighted mom n' pop business during the Easter Egg hunt created by The Sweet Heartist last year. Given my taste for unique popcorn flavors, in which the iconic Bulk Candy Store south in West Palm Beach, FL introduced me to, I just had to see what 321 Popcorn had to offer. Along with my friend Paula, my traveling sidekick who happened to be the best choice to join me today as she loves popcorn, we checked out 321 Popcorn. We were both glad to have checked it out because the popcorn selections they have are definitely an amazing adventure for any popcorn lover. Through an address is provided, 321 Popcorn is located in the strip mall, the Promenade in Suntree. For further detail, this strip mall also has Tely's Chinese Food Restaurant and is next to an Aldi's. Paula and I showed up at right on the dot for opening. I assume they're not used to having anyone show up at the crack of opening time for them, even though it is considered late in the morning at 11 a.m., because Joanne, one half of the couple who along with their family own the business, was busy discussing business in her car past opening hour. It was not bad or anything, she was probably surprised when she saw both Paula and I peeking into her business around the top of the hour. The interior for 321 Popcorn is very fun, with painted walls highlighting bright colors and cartoon characters. There really isn't much seating as this business is probably one where you come in, buy your wares, and leave. And by their name, their primary wares are different flavors of popcorn, over 50 flavors actually. The popcorn flavors are divided into three tiers in which the higher tiers cost more money. Some example of tier one include buffalo, cajun, dill, and movie theater. Some examples of tier two include banana, cheddar, loaded baked potato, and vanilla. And some examples of tier three include Butterfinger, buffalo blue cheese, cinnamon toast swirl, s'mores, and street corn. I even got to try out their hottest and spiciest flavors, ghost pepper and The Reaper (Carolina reaper). Fantastic! I will eat super spicy foods as long as they are delicious, and these popcorn flavors, across the board were delicious. Some more than others, but not one single flavor disappointed me. Besides popcorn, 321 Popcorn also offers cinnamon glazed nuts, mini melts, caramel apples through pre-order, chocolate covered frozen bananas, and stuffed soft pretzels, some of the highlights of carnival and faire food you can ever get. Finally, the prices are not bad at all. They have snack bag sizes which are around $5 depending on the tier, but their other popcorn sizes are small (12 cups), medium (20 cups), and large (30 cups) bags. I don't really know the prices of the other items as I was not looking at them at the time, but 321 Popcorn does have a website with more information. Ultimately, Rafael and Joanne Martinez have created a unique mom n' pop business to further serve the Space Coast. I will definitely be back to try more of their popcorn flavors. Also, it saves me shipping and recieving as I no longer have to order from the Bulk Candy Store for my popcorn needs anymore. For their initial review, I will give 321 Popcorn four-out-of-five stars. If they are consistent across the board, I will update their rating with their fifth star which is earned for consistency.
