Friendly staff and they make their own chocolate so that makes it worth stopping there?

Had a fun day and went to chariton. Went to the square and stumbled upon this. Went in and loved it. Many things to choose from. But my favorite part is the old General Store feels it had. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely have to come in again when we are in Chariton.
