Yummy little spot in town. They’ve got a wide variety of truffles, fudge, and many specialty items. They also have a large sugar free section. Staff was super nice. We love that the Easter Bunny statue is outside of it too. We got a couple truffles for $1 each.Vegetarian options: Most of the chocolate does not have meat productsDietary restrictions: Sugar free sectionParking: Medium parking lot and plenty of street parking.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love candy?!?Wheelchair accessibility: Can be a little difficult getting through the front two doors since it’s a T entrance.

5 Stars: A Peck of Fun and a Barrel of Laughs at Candies By Vletas!I meant to post this a couple of months about about Vletas helping us out with a fun gag!If you're looking for a place that pairs delightful sweets with delightful scenes, look no further than Candies By Vletas!Witness a spectacle so hilariously embarrassing, it could only happen in the magical world of confectionery and good-natured pranks. Mitch, the man of the hour, was there in a chicken costume so ludicrously humiliating that it would make a rooster crow in sympathy.The vibrant yellow feathers, the red leggings hugging his legs, and the oversized chicken feet were just the start. The owner, a maestro of mischief, coaxed Mitch into performing the chicken dance. There he was, amidst the chocolates and giggles of onlookers, flapping and hopping with such comedic gracelessness that it was impossible not to join in the laughter.But the cherry on top? Mitch was sent on a mission across the street, finally answering the age-old question: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" To get to Candies By Vletas, of course, where the treats are sweet, and the laughs are sweeter.Thanks to the staff's playful spirit and the owner's impromptu choreography, Mitch's embarrassment was the secret ingredient in a day filled with joy. So here's to Mitch, for being such a good sport; and to Candies By Vletas, for serving up a dose of hilarity with their heavenly candies. Trust me, their treats—and the memories you'll make—will have you coming back for more!I hear that they would like Mitch to come back again so that he can entertain the store again! I hope that is true!

I went in to enjoy some home town chocolates. I was delighted to find out that they were giving out samples. After touching two doors on the way in I asked to wash my hands and discovered they don't have a restroom or a sink to wash your hands. That is gross! If they don't think it's important that I need to wash my hands before eating how do I know that they feel it's important to wash their hands before making the chocolate.

Who doesn't like a candy store! My favorite is divinity with pecans. I also strongly applaud the store for making good use out of a historic building.

We happened upon this small candy shop after eating downtown. What a find! Their selection of candies is great and everything we bought was top notch. Any time we are back in Abilene, we stop in to grab a few bag of our favorites now.

Short form review: Vletas has been an Abilene staple for many many years (apparently established in 1912). It's a fantastic place to get all sorts of chocolates as well as candy. They have the largest selection of sugar-free chocolates that I have ever seen. They all taste wonderful too. From huge chocolate covered strawberries to truffles to fudge, they have you covered. Prices are in line with many other chocolate specialty stores.

I've eaten chocolate covered strawberries all over the state, and out of state! These are by FAR the BEST!! The chocolate is milk, and creamy and I love every bite!!

this would 5 star, but having researched before my trip to make sure they were open. i arrived at 10:30am on a Friday morning, not only were they closed, but no contact by phone or any other way. i had driven 500 miles, and this one one of the places i wanted to return to. there is no excuse to JUST BE CLOSED WITH NO EXPLANATION. Ii have been buying candy here for years.
