I stopped by and browsed through their wonderful selection on Candy apples. I was looking for a specific combo they did not have. Here comes Tammy and Lashaya to the rescue. They helped tremendously and got a chocolatier to custome make the selection I wanted. Please stop bye and visit as it was a wonderful experience
