One of the goodies in my gift basket (received as a prize from an OYE) was from this biz located on Oahu, specifically their Furikake Party Mix.
The hearty pouch is 18 ounces and comes with an easy-to-open pull-away tab, revealing a heavy duty re-sealer. For you malihini who have no idea what furikake is, it's finely grated nori (seaweed) mixed with salt, sesame seeds, MSG, and a bit of sugar. Combining that with the traditional buttery-sweet party mix flavor makes for a blend of sweet and ocean-y, probably a turn-off to most but not if you're a local! The usual suspects can be found in the bag, including rice & corn Chex, Honey Comb, Bugles, an over-abundance of pretzels and thankfully no wheat Chex. Every piece was flavorful and coated well.
TIP:
I have a feeling that this is for sale at Costco as there was an "item number" listed on the bag.
OVERALL:
Good party mix. Being a cookie lover, I can't wait to try some of their selections.

Mahalo Hawaiian Paradise Candies for the nice chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my wife's workplace on Valentine's Day! She really enjoyed them.

We bought the chocolate covered Oreos with the red crane. We absolutely loved how it turned out. And best of all it came in its own container. We didn't have to do any work! Just place the order online which was so easy to do. We would definitely be ordering for our future parties!

Great customer service. Chocolate is delicious with the fortune cookie, wafers, and Oreo cake.

NO ONLINE ORDERING OPTION! I can't comment on the quality -- though it looks great -- I went through the whole process of ordering my dad a gift basket, only at the very end to discover that you can only do check or money order to order online. I am sure its great -- but hoping no one else wastes 15 minutes like I did setting up an order only to discover at the very end that you have to mail a check or money order to them before they will process an online order, which makes an online order -- particularly from the mainland -- impossible and pointless.

Anybody can make chocolate covered Oreo's, but nothing compares to the fudgey, cakey goodness that came out of Hawaiian Paradise candies! We are from the south, so we are used to custom sweets, but these blew us out of the water! No chocolatier on the island can craft treats like this couple. Mahalo for your Ono (yummy) deserts. Be back soon !

I was on Yelp searching for something personalized in addition to cupcakes for my nephew's birthday and stumbled upon this place. I went through their pictures and thought the giant fortune cookie was perfect! I put in an order online and they emailed me the next day asking questions to make sure they prepared exactly what I wanted. They gave me their hours of operation for pick up, but I failed to tell my other half picking up for me. He showed up an hour before opening and the store was obviously locked. They could've easily turned him away or ignored him until opening, but they opened the door, inconvenienced themselves and prepared the cookie for him right away. I came home to see what they put together and was so pleased. The picture really doesn't do it justice on how cute it is, and I can't want to see the personalized message inside. This company was so professional and I will be definitely ordering again when it comes to this or party favors!

I contacted Hawaiian Paradise when two of our friends were staying in Waikiki on a honeymoon. We wanted to send some treats to their hotel room, but the hotel was not able to accommodate such a request. We found Hawaiian Paradise Candies off Google and they worked closely with me to design a small box to be delivered next day, at a reasonable price. Our friends were delighted and said everything was delicious. Thank you!!!

My really long and thought-out Yelp draft for this dear local establishment disappeared! :( I'll just keep it short and simple until I'm inspired to write again haha. This place is great to order Christmas gifts or gifts for any holiday. In fact, my husband and I ordered chocolate-covered fortune cookies with custom "fortunes" as party favors at our wedding, as well as chocolate-covered Oreos with cute custom designs! Our guests loved the fortune cookies and Oreos! The chocolate used on the cookies and other treats is a quality dark chocolate ganache. Cash or check-only. The holiday season is approaching, so we better head to Hawaiian Paradise Candies for some Christmas gifts!

Easy and delicious party favors at a descent price! Ordered 40 chocolate covered fortune cookies for a surprise party and they turned out great. The ordering process was easy. I placed my order through their website and received a reply a few days later with confirmation. You can choose from a variety of pre-made designs that could work perfectly for a first birthday, anniversary, 60th birthday, graduation, etc. They also give the option of adding a cute personalized label inside, which was free and I paid on the day of pickup. I've also ordered the chocolate covered Oreo cookies before...and those were delicious as well! They're located right on S School Street near the Pali Hwy exit. There's parking right in front of their building, which made it easy for quick pick up. If you're looking for easy and delicious party favors, Hawaiian Paradise Candies is the place to go!

Parking is a bit hard, but the service and product are excellent. The cookies were fresh and the chocolate was decadent. I'm really happy with how the chocolate dipped fortune cookies turned out.

Easy to contact and they are responsive to email messages. I ordered 100 plain fortune cookies with a personalized message/fortune. I also bought some half-dipped chocolate fortune cookies as my own snack. They are very generous with the chocolate coating. The fortune cookie is a good size. It is also very crunchy and tasty. Perfect party favors, affordable, and I like that it's family-run instead of a big chain/company.

Their chocolate-dipped spam Spam Jam 2019 exclusives were kind of gross and expensive. A bag of 5 half-slices of spam that aren't even fully dipped in chocolate was $5 and they tasted like a rawhide dog chew treat dipped in chocolate. I guess if you want to kill your dog (chocolate in high doses can be lethal to dogs), this would be the way it would want to go. 1 star. Update: ran into some people who had also bought some but were afraid of it, lol. OTOH, their butters and jams are good. 5 stars. At Spam Jam their booth had samples of all of them (but not of the chocolate-dipped spam - maybe they knew no one would want to buy them if they tasted them, lmao). My favorites are the lilikoi (passionfruit) butter and Kona coffee butter. The jams are good but I don't mind living with the Hawaiian Sun lilikoi jam I can get back home. Wish we could get the pineapple jam at home too. 1 plus 5 divided by 2 is a 3 but that weights a single limited run item too high so they can have a 4. It was awesome of them to provide all those samples. It encouraged me to buy more as I wasn't afraid of getting a whole jar of something I ended up not liking. Wonder if they do that in-store normally or if that was just at the festival.
