Mueller Chocolate Co.

Featured on The Food Network’s Guilty Pleasures with Mark Summer.

Family owned and operated since 1980, Mueller Chocolate Co. is perhaps as well known for their sense of humor as they are for their hand-made chocolates and candies. Their anatomically correct chocolate hearts and lungs have been featured by Ripley’s Believe it or Not! and the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Food with Andrew Zimmern, and their Tower (a chocolate-cloaked stack including a Rice Krispies treat, a chocolate chip cookie, an Oreo cookie, a marshmallow, and a peanut-butter cup) was hailed by Zagat as one of the 10 most decadent chocolate desserts in Philly. Swing by Mueller’s display case for all sorts of chocolate-covered treats—pretzels, clusters, cookies, fruit, marshmallows, and more—plus a wide assortment of truffles, caramels, and candies. And don’t miss the body part chocolate molds in the window of their kitchen, right across the aisle. The chocolate ears (and the accompanying sign that reads, “ears that are okay to bite”) were made in honor of Mike Tyson and immortalized on Twitter by the boxing great himself!

Pennsylvania General Store

Whether you’re a tourist looking for the perfect souvenir or a local in search of a sweet treat, the Pennsylvania General Store is the place to be. Michael and Julie Holahan opened it in 1987 as a lunch box catering business using the foods of Reading Terminal Market, but when someone asked them if they shipped Tastycakes they shifted their focus to building a collection of the best Pennsylvania-made products. These they assemble into gift baskets and goody trays to ship near and far. You’ll know you’ve spotted their shop when you see the handsome display of Hope’s Cookies, hand-dipped chocolate-covered pretzels, and tray after tray of chocolates, truffles, and caramels made by Pennsylvania’s premier chocolatiers. They also carry locally roasted coffee, Pennsylvania Dutch preserves and honey, handicrafts like ceramics and quilts, and handmade goods from young Philly artisans like Girls Can Tell, Wild Heart Paper and Tin Goat Soaps

Sweet As Fudge Candy Shoppe

lcibelli — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 18:44:34 +0000

A technicolor candy shop, Sweet As Fudge has something to suit every sweet tooth. There are gummy critters in all colors, chocolate- and yogurt-covered nuts and fruits of every kind, and even a selection for licorice lovers. What makes Sweet As Fudge special is how many different difficult-to-find treats they have. Bins of retro mix-and-match penny candies like root beer barrels and chewy Mary Janes are a riot of color wrapped in crinkly cellophane. Next to them, you’ll find seasonal treats like chocolate bunnies or candy corn, and just across the way, for something a little less sugary, neat packages of dried fruit and nuts. A box of artisan chocolates makes an elegant gift, or, if you’d like a little homemade treat to remind you of the county fair or a trip to the beach, don’t leave without some of their homemade fudge. Cut to order from generous slabs, it comes in classic flavors like maple and chocolate walnut, as well as inventive combinations like carrot cake and salted caramel.
