I have visited and bought candy from this business for many years. Several years ago, they moved into new expanded facilities adjacent to their former location. The store is spacious, bright and attractive, the ladies who work there are always helpful and friendly, and the chocolate is absolutely devine. Their chocolates are made and packed at the store's location so... More

Love their fudge and chocolate covered potato chips. The people there are so nice. Lots of UK and horsey gifts. Chocolate isn't the best, but the atmosphere, and what they add to the chocolate make this place a legend in Lexington. More

Take time to stop & smell the chocolate. Free samples. I regret I didn't go on the tour of the factory. The chocolates are more expensive than Hershey's and worth every penny. More
