Gilbert Chocolates and Fudge is the finest and oldest chocolate manufacturing and retailer in Michigan, making delicious gourmet candy in Jackson since 1900. They sell their products at around 50 retailers across the state, including the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, as well as in their three retail stores. Customers can also purchase Gilbert Chocolates online and through their Amazon store.
The reviews praise the business for its excellent selection of quality chocolates, with the dark chocolate honeycomb chip being a customer favorite. The staff is described as friendly and helpful, and shoppers appreciate the opportunity to support a long-standing Michigan business. The Briarwood Mall location seems to be a popular destination for customers, who enjoy the chocolate-covered strawberries and other treats.
While the overall feedback is positive, one reviewer noted that the sea foam candies had a slight change in taste and texture, suggesting the company consider reverting to the original recipe.
Can you ever have a bad experience where chocolate is present? I don't think so!! I love this place and it makes my day to be going to get anything at Gilberts because it is all so good!!
