Krause's Homemade Candies is the best chocolate store in the NYC metropolitan area and is still family owned. Customers declare their chocolate covered strawberries to be the best in the world, describing them as amazingly always sweet and fresh, delicious, and an absolute masterpiece. The assortment of chocolates is great, with specific recommendations for the cremes, Figaro, milk chocolate cashew turtle, and salted caramel truffle. The staff is sweet, helpful, and provides amazing customer service. The product is consistently superior and they offer FedEx shipping. Many have been going there for 50 years.
My boyfriend ordered these online after a coworker brought some in, and he loved them so much that he ordered me a box to ask me to be his Valentine. We enjoyed most of the assortment, but the chocolate marzipan was awful. It genuinely tasted like soap and perfume. Aside from that, the chocolate was great.
