Best chocolate ever

This is the oldest continuous candy store in America and I frequent it often. Still making chocolates by hand and oh so good. The hot fudge recipe is from Germany and has been used for years. Do come to Circleville and enjoy Wittich's.

Awesome history

Their chocolate does not taste like a typical candy bar... it is more "pure" so it also is softer and might melt faster, but it is delicious. Also, some of the candy is made right next to where you shop so you can watch how...they hand-dip and form the chocolate candy right there. For a simple little shop, it was well worth the visit!More

Thank you for the very kind review! We are so glad you noticed the difference: every week we make small batches of candy centers to hand-dip in delicious rich chocolate...the old-fashioned way since 1840. We're very happy you enjoyed your visited and hope you'll be...More

Delicious ice cream and candy!

So glad this gem is still going strong. Employees were so friendly. Soda, sundae was absolutely delicious. Lots of different candy to choose from, some just too cute. Price was reasonable for handmade chocolate. Chocolate soda was so good and reminded me of old soda...fountains of days gone by. A must stop if your in the area.More

It's like taking a time machine

I stopped in here with my daughter one day and we browsed a little, bought a few pounds of various goodies and a few milkshakes. I could've sat at that old fashioned soda fountain all afternoon and just looked around. If anyone is in the...Circleville area, this is a MUST stop for you. They have something for everyone here and it is all delicious!More

Old-fashioned soda fountain

It was great to find a place that makes sodas and phosphates still! Brought back memories from when I worked at a drug-store soda fountain.
