No one will believe me, but Lowery's Homemade Chocolates in Muncie, Indiana.

http://www.loweryscandies.com

They only ship during the winter months. They sometimes will shut down the store if they feel the weather is too hot or humid to produce good candy that day. But they'll be in touch if your order will be delayed as a result.

I personally really like See's, but that's a very different type of chocolate than the French style chocolate. I think See's is more reminiscent of the Swiss style chocolates -- more milky. When I eat fancy French chocolates, they always seem too bitter to me.



Yes to See’s! One of the things I miss most about growing up in San Diego! Get an entire box of Milk Bordeaux. You will NOT be sorry!

Even worse, isn’t it illegal for stores to sell the real Cadbury (versus the Hershey owner and ruined version). Not sure if illegal is the right word. Maybe Hershey just pressures them.

They use the freshest ingredients you can imagine straight from S. America and so everything is super fresh and sells fast so nothing sits there. It is also a little café therefore you can buy there great tasting coffe and ice cream. Really nice place to visit with kids or a friend.

I love Richart. My mom's friend from Paris used to bring them every year. she visited the US. They seemed "weird" as a kid, but I was all about the flavors and am even moreso as an adult.

https://www.richart.com/us/

They had a store in NYC (grew up there) way back when that has since closed, but still available online.
