Betsy Ann Chocolates opened in 1938 and hand-makes chocolates and some candies. Customers may…read morepurchase the chocolates and candies at this factory store, at retail locations (in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and West Virginia), through the business's website, or through organizations' fundraisers. My husband and I visited this factory store one time. When we entered the store, an employee greeted us and asked if we needed any assistance. Some of the flavors of chocolates were not labeled, so I recommend that the store add more labels. The employee did answer my question about a particular flavor. This store had many display cases and shelves of chocolates in flavors such as chocolate truffle, cherry cordial, caramel, peanut butter, pecan, cashew, butter cream, pretzel, coconut, Oreo, etcetera. I also saw some candies such as gummies, licorice, and taffy. My husband and I picked out five chocolates for a total cost of $33. The employee promptly rang up our purchase, thanked us, and wished us a good day. At home, my husband and I ate our chocolates. Here are our ratings: Chocolate-covered mini pretzels - 3 stars - I thought that these chocolate-covered pretzels tasted *very* buttery. Peanut-butter cup - 4.5 stars - This chocolate was a large size and looked as if it could have been poured more neatly. I did enjoy the flavor of the peanut butter. Bag of bloopers chocolates - 4 stars - This one-pound bag contained an assortment of imperfect chocolates. I felt happy that a cherry cordial was included, and it seemed to contain crystallized sugar. Some other flavors were nut clusters, peanut butter, coconut, pretzel, etcetera, and they tasted good. Cordial strawberry - 5 stars - A cordial strawberry is covered in chocolate and contains much liquid. According to the business's website, a cordial strawberry is made from a cut piece of strawberry that is dipped in liquid fondant and then chocolate layers. I thought that this piece was a large size and that the cordial was a bit messy but very flavorful. Milk-chocolate bar - 4 stars - My husband ate this 3.5-ounce milk-chocolate bar, and he said that it was good.

After telling my husband how much I used to love Betsy Ann chocolate covered strawberries, he…read morebought me some for Valentines Day. They were VERY DISAPPOINTING! You look at this huge "strawberry" the size of a golf ball and think this is going to be soooooo good. The problem arises once you bite in to find it is filled with sugary juices, white cream and HALF A SMALL STRAWBERRY! There was not even a full strawberry in this! The strawberry was not even the size of a quarter. I believe in supporting local businesses, I really do. But, in this case, I have to suggest you save your money! Betsy Ann.... You should be ashamed!!!!!

An employee was busy serving another customer but soon after served me. She made friendly conversation. Here are my reviews for what I bought: S'more - 5 stars - I liked the chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker of this s'more. Raspberry chocolates - 5 stars - I liked the strong flavor of raspberries in the center of the milk chocolate. Strawberry chocolates - 4 stars - I liked the milk chocolate but thought that the strawberry could taste differently. Chocolate-covered cherries - 5 stars - These cherries and milk chocolate met my expectations and tasted very good. Gummy flower bouquet - 4.5 stars - This flower bouquet was constructed from many pieces of gummies, and I thought that it looked so pretty. The gummies were slightly hard and chewy but tasted good. Mountain Magic - 5 stars - Chunks contained marshmallows, rice, and peanut butter. I definitely taste the peanut butter and really enjoyed it. Peppermint-chocolate marshmallow - 4 stars - A large marshmallow was covered in milk chocolate and covered in peppermint pieces. One without peppermint would have fit my personal preferences better. Hot-cocoa spoon - 4.5 stars - A plastic spoon contained chocolate, marshmallows, and sparkles. I put it in hot milk to melt it. The hot chocolate tasted good. Sugarfina Sparkling Rose Bears - 5 stars - Gummy bears had a slight flavor of rose wine. Chocolate-covered pretzels - 5 stars - Chocolate-covered pretzels are one of my favorites. One pretzel was covered in milk chocolate, and the other pretzel was covered in white chocolate. Buckeyes - 3.5 stars - These buckeyes had tasty milk chocolate but needed a stronger flavor of peanut butter. The employee could not give me either a printed or emailed receipt. My husband paid and said that the total cost was ~$60.

The woman working that day was very friendly, not overbearing, and willing to provide suggestions and recommendations where needed. They offer free samples of their mountain crunch (?) that was light, crunchy, and peanut butter-y. She said it's one of their top sellers and I can understand why. I got an assortment of chocolates from the bulk case ($32/lb) and a few Easter items. I ended up totaling somewhere around $30. The chocolate was fresh and each piece that I had the pleasure of sampling was delicious. If I need a gift or just a mid-day pick me up, I wouldn't hesitate to stop in here.

They have a huge selection of chocolate based (and some non-chocolate) based candies. They also have a ton of sugar free options which is great for those watching their sugar. We tried a variety of treats which were tasty- I particularly enjoyed the chocolate caramels. I was a little disappointed that the kind girls working behind the counter couldn't explain what some of the candies were, but they did offer to let me try one which made up for it some. We also tried a box of their chocolate covered strawberries, but were a bit disappointed as they were a little sour and not very good. However the other chocolates we got were amazing and worth returning!

Customers may purchase candies at the store or through their website. I placed an online order for two products. Shipping cost $12 for USPS Priority Mail. The website said that they process orders in 1-2 business days, but I did not receive a shipment email or package after several days. I emailed and called, and an employee told me that they would make my cordial strawberries later that day. My package took 10 days to arrive at the post office and then 1 day to be delivered to my home. Cordial strawberries ($21) - 5 stars - My box included 6 strawberries that were surrounded by juices and covered in milk chocolate. I had not previously eaten cordial strawberries, so they were a surprise to me! These strawberries tasted very sweet and delicious, but when I bit into them, a large amount of juice dripped out! If you buy these cordial strawberries, make sure that you eat them over a plate and have a paper towel nearby. Deluxe assortment of milk chocolates ($15) - 4.5 stars - This box of chocolates weighed 8 ounces. I could not figure out all of the flavors, but I think that I received strawberry cream, orange cream, caramel, toffee, turtle, mint, coconut, chocolate, cherry cordial, and a few other flavors. I enjoyed most of these flavors.

I would rate it higher, but the prices are insane, especially considering the vast majority of the selection can be had elsewhere or ordered online. Maybe the shipping price evens things out these days when factoring import fees? In any case, staff were friendly enough but also just kinda stood there. Not sure what I would expect them to do, but they weren't busy at the time. Store was clean but rather condensed as well with narrow walkways. The chocolate we did get was tasty. It's just not anything so unique that it can't be had elsewhere and for cheaper.

My go-to lunch is a BLT with chips and diet coke. It is made well with thick bread and crunchy bacon. Hits the spot just right. And for a total with tax of under 7.00, I'm quite happy. Oh, and they have fries now. I've also pigged out on a milk shake here and THAT is the holy grail of the venue, I'd have to say. I try not to order it but when patron after patron is ordering one, ya just give in occasionally. This is a friendly venue -- everybody seems to know everybody sitting at the counter or outside on the bench in front of the shop. The owner/servers are always friendly and service is good. Definitely a neighborhood treat. Can't think of a thing I'd want different except maybe being open on Mondays. It's closed on Mondays as are most downtown restaurants. I just wish I'd remember that fact.
