Sweet Things Chocolates

I had not heard of Sweet Things Chocolates, but I just received a box as a Christmas present. It was beautiful, smelled great,and tasted delicious! What more can you want? Except maybe more of those dark chocolate caramels, because they are divine! #yum #ReviewsByRL

If you're looking for treats for a Holiday, this place is a great option. We were having coffee at Lulu's next door and decided to stop in. The counter staff were friendly and content to let us browse. We were told everything is made in-house and fresh, and that seems true. There's a wide assortment of chocolates and cookies and other confectionary treats and the prices were very reasonable. If you're looking for some good, sweet treats in the area, Sweet Things is a solid choice.

What a wonderful experience I had today at Sweet Things. I haven't been in the shop for sometime. I was looking for Christmas gifts and I found several plus treats for my family.

The shop has a large display case filled with all types of chocolates, truffles, covered pretzels and nuts, toffee and more. Everything is made right here at Something Chocolate.

They offer custom gift baskets, offer pre-made collections of chocolates and I found fun Hot Chocolate Bombs. Just add water or milk and place bomb in cup where chocolate melts and mini marshmallows float to the top. Their great Christmas gifts for the kids. There is a large jelly bean wall with so many flavors if you have a piñata or gift bags/jars to fill with candy.

Intermixed throughout the store are adorable cookie jars, coffee cups, dishware, pillows, serving platters, signs, dish towels, greeting cards and a section for a child's birthday.

Today I purchased Christmas gifts, greeting cards, Christmas decorations, hot chocolate bombs, candy, toffee and a phenomenal caramel apple dipped in dark chocolate.

The owner was extremely helpful, had excellent suggestions and super friendly. If your looking for excellent chocolates or cute gifts pop in and browse.

The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I went to get a birthday present for a friend and they put together a birthday platter right then for me.

I don't know how many people have owned this location but it seems to close and reopen every few years. This incarnation has been open a year maybe two. Decor is much more upscale then previous. I believe they may have a bigger selection of chocolates ( I'm not sure if they are all made in house or not ). Much bigger selection of gift items then previous. I purchased some sugar free chocolate today for my cousin, so I can't review the product. Masks are required and employees had them on. I got a friendly greeting upon entering and was thanked at check out.

Friendly staff! They made extra chocolates that I wanted to purchase right on the spot!

It reminded me of what Santa's workshop must look like, well at least that part of the workshop where cute chocolate presents are assembled anyway. The women in here were like over the top nice and we shared a few laughs while I sampled various treats. I picked out about 10 or so And I just expected her to put the various chocolates in a bag and call it done, but she made it all fancy with a clear bag and a ribbon. I don't frequent chocolatiers very much, but lately I have and this one really stands out. Not just with service either because these chocolates are very good. Some of the best I have had and my wife would agree. I have been giving chocolates everyday for the 12 days before Christmas, so she has had lots to compare. The raspberry truffle tops her list.

This combo candy shop and gift shop has some delicious confections to test your will power. Though I noticed the variety of gifts and cards, I had my attention drawn to the chocolates counter. (They have a variety of other types of candies including a jelly bean wall and some other fruity type treats.)

After looking over the displays a couple times, I asked and found out that you can buy the chocolates by the piece or by the pound. I thought it best to go with individual pieces and limited my purchase so that my waistline stayed relatively the same size as when I started the day. I decided to get a pecan snapper in milk chocolate (snapper = turtle), a cashew snapper in milk chocolate, and a dark chocolate covered pretzel.
Because the pieces are handmade, they are on the pricey side. (After tax, it was nearly $8!)

The flavor was really good. The snappers were fairly large compared to the ones you see in those assortment boxes. They were filled with nuts and creamy gooey caramel. The only problem was that since it was a hot day, I had a bit of a mess as the chocolate melted. (Fear not, I am not above licking my fingers to savor the last bit of it!)

Overall, I would recommend this place if you have some will power or otherwise, a very deep wallet!

If you want to be a bad girl eating chocolate...then eat the best! Made on the premises and doesn't get any better! Sweet Things is top in my book!

This is a cute little candy shop that also houses equally cute decor for sale. Which these two alone in one place is going to be a problem for me. There is so much sweet goodness packed into the space. Also the customer service is wonderful. I was greeted the minute I walked in the door and everyone in the store made sure my questions were answered. I happened to be in there while a couple of regulars were present and it seems like this will be a new place that I need to start frequenting for my sweet tooth needs.
