One Sweet Find

On our way home from dinner last night, we drove through Maumee (on the outside of Toledo) and a new store front caught our eye. It was lit up and decorated for Valentine's Day with all sorts of sweet treats and confections. We had to check it out, so we turned the car around and went in. It was a classic chocolate and candy gift shop with a full display of fresh chocolates and truffles.

Maumee Valley Chocolate & Candy is located in historic uptown Maumee and is locally owned and operated by Stephanie and Jeff Anderson. The atmosphere inside the store is amazing. Everywhere you turn, there is a candy or treat display that is mouth watering. They have everything from fresh made chocolates, nuts, mints, cotton candy, flavored popcorn, to the classic penny candies and Jelly Belly gourmet jelly beans.

We walked out with several different caramels, chocolates, and candies. I also grabbed quite a few salt water taffy flavors. All the confections were neatly boxed in red boxes. I enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake filled chocolate on my ride home, and it was delicious!! It was milk chocolate filled with cheese cake filling and strawberry puree- melts right in your mouth! I would suggest to get more than one because you will want to keep eating them. We also got the mints, cashew turtles, sea salt caramels, irish cream balls, and chocolate covered strawberries. It was all AMAZING!

The strawberries were as good as they looked :)

The turtles can be pecan or cashew in your choice of milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

I suggest that everyone stop in to Maumee Valley Chocolate & Candy in Maumee. It is on the corner of Conant St. and Wayne St. with the bright red awning. Also check out their website and Facebook page to find out more about their party and gift displays. I love supporting local business and this is definitely on my "favorites" list.
