Brown's Candy Kitchen

Brown's Candy has been a staple in Mt. Pleasant for several decades, occupying a once stately home on Main Street. That they have survived is a testament to quality products and determination to overcome the economic difficulties of small towns in this part of mountain country Pennsylvania. Their chocolates are very good, if not the most creative you will find. They know their market and play to it consistently. This Christmas, my in-laws did not know what to get me, so they gave me a box of chocolates. Far better than a tie or scarf. Yes. Forrest Gump could have been sitting at the bus stop in the middle of town near the monument and he would have felt right at home. It was a funny moment. The old fashioned sampler is still sitting on the kitchen table. Every day I open it and take one piece to taste, and my son takes another. The milk chocolates are better than Hershey, Nestle and Cadbury, but not at the level of Lindt, nor Valrhona, or other Euro creamies. The fillings are nice, but not particularly memorable. It is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area and love chocolate that is local and made in fairly small batches. The walk through the shop is entertaining, and the Browns people are pleasant and willing to tell you their history. Too, anything we can do to keep small town America in business is worthwhile.

This is the best candy store you will find east of the Mississippi. These people have spent their lives bringing joy to children and adults. I havent lived in the area since I was a child but Browns' turtles are the flavor that defines happiness to me. Buy their candy. Eat it. Enjoy your life; just a little more.

June 2018Chocolate tastes like chocolate use to taste. Creamy and not waxy. I always remember the Easter eggs, but the new creations are wonderful. Bought some bargain $10.95 bags. The peanut butter cups are awesome. White chocolate is not overly sweet. We will be back in August. Thanks for maintaining the standards of good chocolate.

My family has been getting chocolates from Brown's for over 50 years. They are a holiday staple and a special treat at other times of the year. There is no beating the quality and freshness of this candy. You can find something fancier, like Lindt or Godiva, but not fresher and homemade. As soon as you walk through the door, the scent of fresh chocolates will tell you, you've made the right choice!

This candy is INCREDIBLE! My office and I usually order at Christmas time b/c this candy is addictive! Please give it a try or make it a gift, you wont be sorry! Guaranteed!
