There are walls and tables and cases full of chocolates of all shapes and fillings, and some store-made goodies like sour patch people too. Pre-packaged boxes, a counter where we can select our own chocolates to fill a box in whatever size we choose, a special Rhode Island themed corner (maps of RI, sea shells, sailboats, lollipops, etc), holiday selections, and cards to go with your gift. I grabbed a few Halloween peanut butter pumpkins that had been marked down this week. The store is amazing! Service was a bit slow (the person who waited on us was clearly proud of the product and happy to wait on us, but was just a bit slow moving at the register). The chocolate is very very tasty. My only complaint is that the peppermint patties had too much yummy dark chocolate for the filling - things didn't melt in my mouth at the same rate - lol. I didn't expect that the sour patch people to be as good as the name brand version but I thought they were actually better, and that says a LOT since those things are a major food group in my house! And, oops, no pictures from this visit because I was too busy running around collecting things I needed to buy and try! I WILL return, and soon.

They had alllll the good gummies and chocolate you could hope for. They even have the popular Swedish gummies. I saw gummy bears, jaw breakers, chocolates, jelly beans, sour gummies, etc. Very clean, well stocked and maintained. I got 4 pieces or so of every candy I love to get a taste of everything. They also have a glass case of dipped chocolate items. The store is filled with a bunch of whatever sweets you can think up. I saw those swirly colored lollipops as well.

After thinking about it, I decided to visit Anchor Toffee located in Farm Fresh Rhode Island. Anchor Toffee has handcrafted candy & toffee made in Providence, Rhode Island. When you walk into Anchor Toffee, there are a few samples and the items are displayed very nicely. I found a box of different flavored Saltwater Taffy and a box contains approximately 60-65 pieces. The saltwater taffy is made the New England way - in small copper kettle batches with just a kiss of real sea salt. This was perfect and it was only $9.30. My colleagues really enjoyed the taffy! I also purchased a 2 oz bag of Coconut Almond Toffee for $5.20. It had good flavor. The cashier was very friendly. I recommend visiting Anchor Toffee.

I actually ended up leaving with something completely different! I bought a jar of Georgia Jams Rambling Red Pepper Spread because I want to try making some savory s'mores. It was $6, so hopefully it's worth it! I can't wait to try it. Definitely a cute little shop to stop in, browse around, and maybe leave with something you weren't even planning to buy!

I got a few of the chocolates to try out. While the chocolate itself was rich and smooth, the fillings/other flavors were a mixed bag. The fruit flavors, such as passionfruit, were pretty non-existent, so the point I had to wonder if I received the wrong chocolates. The hazelnut was not bad, though not outstanding. Don't come out of your way for this spot but it's a nice place to satiate your sweet tooth while exploring this is small, yet, scenic part of the state.

She sent me pictures of the progress and I couldn't wait to see the final product. When the bars were ready, she sent me pictures and it looked so good. Her expertise and professionalism is always on point. On the day of pickup, I met with Aura's mom and she is always so friendly! Thank you Chef Aura once again.
