Stefanelli’s Candies, established in 1929, is known for its Old World methods of making handcrafted candies with quality ingredients. The candies are cooked in small batches over aged copper kettles and hand-packed to ensure each piece is special. Customers love their chocolate-covered grapes, which are described as amazing and highly addictive, and their chocolate-covered pretzels and sponge candy, which have helped satisfy cravings and bring joy. Many reviewers praise the friendly and kind staff, noting that the location is the best place for purchases and for resolving any issues with products. The store offers a variety of treats, including melt-away chocolates, thin mint discs, and Easter candies. Some customers mention that certain items, like the melt-away chocolates, have changed over the years and do not go as far or taste as they used to. Despite a few disappointments, the overall experience is positive, with people appreciating the high-quality chocolate and the tradition behind it. Stefanelli’s Candies remains a favorite for those seeking delicious, handcrafted sweets and friendly service.
