The kids loved the Jelly Belly selection, and my wife and I loved the hand made chocolate goodies. The quality of the chocolate and the nuts made the Pecan Turtle I ate, disappear in less than a minute. It's funny, because from the outside, this place looks old, but it's well kept inside and the employees are as nice as could be. There are so many options and variations, you'll be sure to find something that meets your sweet tooth. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for us when we visit the Dells.

Sjölinds is a "Scandinavian Style" bakery / coffee shop / chocolate shop. It has a very…read moreScandinavian feel to it, without being specifically of one certain country. Their savory pastries are really great. I like the "Finnish pie," which is a pastry crust with some hearty, nicely seasoned pork and onions inside. They have a few different kinds. They have the best coffee in Mount Horeb, and also the best Swedish meatballs. The atmosphere is very homey. You can sit there all morning and meet new people. It's kind of an artistic center in Mount Horeb. At least one local novelist has written whole books there. Highly recommend.

I have family in Mount Horeb, so we visit once or twice a year. Sjolinds was recommended to us by…read moreour neighbor in our Colorado mountain community who is also from Mt Horeb. It was an excellent recommendation. We ordered a variety of items from the cases. The cherry cobbler was especially memorable, but everything was good. We've decided to make a visit to Sjolinds for breakfast/brunch on our way out of town a part of future Mt Horeb visits.

I'm sorry to have to update my review and lower my rating. Their chocolates are top notch.I…read moreappreciate that this family run business is still here, after decades. My family has been going there for since I was a young child; I won't say how many decades. I may be ending a long-standing tradition of making the annual family pilgrimage to Hughes. I feel that success has gone a bit to their heads, and they are a bit "pissy." I am rating them at a three for now, since their chocolate is undeniably fantastic, and I am also considering that perhaps they are stretched thinly. We all have our breaking point. Last year I think I spent $800 there, less than the year before--specifically because they were out of stock on many of the items I wanted. I was partially to blame, because I had waited too long. But not this year. I called today to pre-pay for some chocolates so that I wouldn't make the drive for nothing, and so that I could avoid the congested basement and be on my way. I figured on buying 25-40 pounds this year, depending on what they had. To their credit, they answered the phone. But I was told that I would need to commit to 75 pounds before they would consider taking a prepaid phone order. They aren't open on Sunday, so I was told I'd need to visit in the next couple days if I wanted toffees before they sold out. "First come first serve." I kind of get it, but I kind of don't. $500-$800 isn't enough for them to bother with me--message received. Yeah, this is the second year in a row I sensed their attitude is overly confident to the point where they no longer have to be friendly. At all. About five years back, I called to inquire if they offered any type of corporate program discount for people sending their chocolates as client gifts. I send out 240+ boxes to my clients each year during the holidays. I was cut off mid sentence by the guy who took the call, and it was clear they were not interested in anything like that. So I went somewhere else. This year, I don't think I'm even going to make the trip for family gifts. So...Hello Oaks Candies, my friend. You're a bit more expensive, but your chocolate is equally as good, you're open on Sundays, and I don't get the arrogant attitude from you.

Well the reason the lights weren't on was because there was a power outage in the area. That didn't stop them tho. We had read about their make your own chocolate bar and wanted to do that. When we got to the bar area there was a group already there deciding on their choices. The two ladies (Barb & Melissa) behind the counter were doing a GREAT job without power. They apologized for the inconvenience a bunch (not needed.....it wasn't their fault the power was out) and just handled everything so well. Once they had the group mostly taken care of they turned their attention to my wife and I. Both of them were super nice and very friendly. We had a great time watching them make our bars and talking to them. We would definitely recommend anyone in the area stop in!! They are awesome and fun!!!

They also have a window where you can see the chocolate factory! They offered free samples of a jelly filled chocolate, which was tasty! The quality of the chocolate is very high and worth the price, in my opinion. I asked the employee for her recommendations and she was very helpful with that, as well as with explaining what some of the flavors were. There is also a list on the wall that explains their flavors in detail, and that list comes with each box as well. I opted for the machu picchu which is a year round flavor and the blood orange caramel, which is seasonal. These chocolates are just so tasty and I really recommend this place for a quick chocolate fix, and they'd also make great gifts!

We tried the following traditional ice cream flavors: "This Just Got Serious"-which if I remember correctly was a caramel ice cream with cashews and chocolate pieces in it-it was delicious. "Blackberry Lemon bar"- lemon ice cream with lots of blackberry ribbon throughout, pieces of lemon bar in it. "Gumball"-tasted like pink bubble gum. "Zoreo"- I believe was chocolate with Oreo cookie pieces. "Sticks and Stones"-chocolate covered pretzels, caramel ribbon and marshmallow ice cream. They only offer drive-thru or walk up options. They have an outdoor patio area. Keep in mind if you have small children that this is on the corner of 2 main roads so you will need to keep an eye on them if they wonder. Staff was very friendly and took the time to explain the flavors to us. The amount of money we spent (around $7) for five kids scoops of ice cream was about $10 less than we would've spent at Dairy Queen, and it tasted better. I hear they also offer tasty popcorn. We didn't get any this time but will come back to try again due to the good customer service and delicious ice cream.
