best chocolate on the planet. This is the best chocolate. I am absolutely obsessed with chocolate and have tried all kinds and I eat way too much every day and this place has the best stuff. And for people who are lactose intolerant or need sugar free chocolate, they have that also. and smores, and halva, and dried fruit covered chocolate and Anything you can think of.

Not too expensive either

Conflicted.... Had a family outing and visited my old haunts. Found out the property switched hands 6 years ago. (I discovered the orig. 20 years ago.) I love small pieces of candy, makes me feel as if I am eating more than I am. The gummy frogs were in presealed bags and tasted stale. I don't know if it was their supplier that gave them a bad stash? The chocolate covered stem cherries were a different formula than what I was use to. The hard candy's such as Matlow's lemon and mint flavored are still good. The Sweet Life is still a very charming and they sell some hard to find products such as Elderflower syrup. I will return more often now that I found them again, however, I will stay away from the gummies.
