The best chocolate covered strawberries you could ever get. The chocolate is soft not shell like that crunches and falls off when you bite it. Ill be moving soon but I told my fiancée this is the only chocolate I ll take! Their peanut butter cups are sooo good too! If you are in the area you need to try this out!!

Yummy little spot in town. They ve got a wide variety of truffles, fudge, and many specialty items. They also have a large sugar free section. Staff was super nice. We love that the Easter Bunny statue is outside of it too. We got a couple truffles for $1 each. Vegetarian options: Most of the chocolate does not have meat products Dietary restrictions: Sugar free section Parking: Medium parking lot and plenty of street parking. Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn t love candy?!? Wheelchair accessibility: Can be a little difficult getting through the front two doors since it s a T entrance.

5 Stars: A Peck of Fun and a Barrel of Laughs at Candies By Vletas! I meant to post this a couple of months about about Vletas helping us out with a fun gag! If youre looking for a place that pairs delightful sweets with delightful scenes, look no further than Candies By Vletas! Witness a spectacle so hilariously embarrassing, it could only happen in the magical world of confectionery and good-natured pranks. Mitch, the man of the hour, was there in a chicken costume so ludicrously humiliating that it would make a rooster crow in sympathy. The vibrant yellow feathers, the red leggings hugging his legs, and the oversized chicken feet were just the start. The owner, a maestro of mischief, coaxed Mitch into performing the chicken dance. There he was, amidst the chocolates and giggles of onlookers, flapping and hopping with such comedic gracelessness that it was impossible not to join in the laughter. But the cherry on top? Mitch was sent on a mission across the street, finally answering the age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Candies By Vletas, of course, where the treats are sweet, and the laughs are sweeter. Thanks to the staffs playful spirit and the owners impromptu choreography, Mitchs embarrassment was the secret ingredient in a day filled with joy. So heres to Mitch, for being such a good sport; and to Candies By Vletas, for serving up a dose of hilarity with their heavenly candies. Trust me, their treats and the memories youll make will have you coming back for more! I hear that they would like Mitch to come back again so that he can entertain the store again! I hope that is true!

I went in to enjoy some home town chocolates. I was delighted to find out that they were giving out samples. After touching two doors on the way in I asked to wash my hands and discovered they dont have a restroom or a sink to wash your hands. That is gross! If they dont think its important that I need to wash my hands before eating how do I know that they feel its important to wash their hands before making the chocolate.

This place is awesome! Located in a beautiful part of historical downtown Abilene, this fantastic little candies shop has some great people making fantastic little candies, chocolates and hand-dipped treats. When you visit, be sure and grab a chocolate covered oreo and a box of chocolate truffles of your choosing from the huge case of truffle selections. I highly recommend the raspberry creme, and mint. Besides the chocolates, their pralines are world famous and they offer the absolute best dipped strawberries youll ever find.
