Callie's Candy Kitchen

"Chocolate is still good, but the place is a shell of its former self since it was sold. The old "museum" is gone, there a lot of space dedicated to off the shelf candy and less of the local made stuff that you would want to buy from a place like this. Service is friendly enough but still a notch below what it used to be. Used to be a special place worth going out of your way to go to. Now it is worth it only if you happen to be in the area anyway."

"Callie's Candy Kitchen is a must stop for me every time I go to the Poconos. When I went in August it was both my first and last stop on my trip. Why? Simply because I like to not only spend hundreds on personal candy, but for those back home as well. If I was ambitious enough to drive across Pennsylvania several times a year, I would visit this place frequently. The truffle pricing was a bit off on every time we stopped (i.e. what was a 1/2 pound or a full pound.) So either we were undercharged or over charged for truffles. Not a major deal, but worth mentioning that it may be something that everyone is fully trained on. Or maybe possibly having a sign that states x-amount in a pound would be awesome. They have a small section of sugar free candies. I purchased some and brought back for my diabetic neighbors, who thought they were amazing. By the way, I suggest trying their truffles. My husband loves the cordials. However, I don't think you can go wrong with any selection. If you are ever in the Poconos make it a point to stop at this gem open 7 days a week."

"Ohhh holy cow!!! Candy is superior quality and delicious!! The macadamia nut crunch is outstanding, my husband's favorite is the yogurt covered pretzels, and our dog loves the white chocolate dipped milk bones (totally safe to give dogs white chocolate in moderation of course)"

"Saw this place on the way to Skytop. Knew I had to stop on the way home. They have so much homemade candy as well as nostalgic favorites. If you like antique cookware, they have tons of candy molds and machines in display. Their truffles are so good. The chocolate is tempered in a way that it doesn't dissolve quickly in your mouth. When you do break through to the center, it's heaven in a single bite. Definitely something to savor. They have all that hard candy you remember Grandma or Auntie having in the candy dish: ribbon candy, bon bons with the gooey centers, pulled candy with inlaid patterns, and HUGE candy canes. This is going to be on my map to go there every time I'm in the area!"

"Chocolate and History This local chocolate shop has been running since 1952! We love the varieties and also the museum they have where shows the old tools, toys and other equipment that been part of their journey making their chocolates and candies! They have variety of chocolates and candy and when I say variety this is where your imagination is your limit. The place was so neat and people were so nice and accommodating. I am glad that we were able to visit this place and immersed for awhile to what they can offer."
