Chocolate Barr's Candies — Local services in Stratford

We stayed at an Airbnb in the area and got a mint smoothie bar as a gift from our host. It was so creamy and delicious that we needed to stop in and try some of the other treats. The store smells incredible when you walk in, and they have tons of little gift packages with mugs and trays arranged around. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. There were amazing truffles with creative flavors like cinnamon, pepper & honey, lavender, whiskey, sea salt, and plenty more. The counter attendant also recommended the sponge toffee, and let us know that all the candy in the store was made in-house except for the sugar free chocolates due to the additional space and equipment that would be required. I also got some chocolate covered black licorice and some chocolate covered marshmallows (also made completely in house!). Everything was absolutely delicious - the marshmallows were so light and fluffy i could barely believe it. I think we're going to be stopping in again to stock up on things to bring home with us. Can't recommend this place...

Spent in the day in Stratford and planned to participate in the Maple Trail and Bacon & Ale Trail. Great wait to be guided through town for different snacks and bevvies. Chocolate Barr's was on the Maple Trail and who doesn't love chocolate??

It was Easter weekend and the shop had a beautiful assortment of easter chocolate. All the chocolates are hand made in house. The trail ticket provided us a box of 6 maple creams. I was tempted to use all 6 trail tickets on chocolate!

Lovely displays with something for everyone. From nuts, sponge and fudge to chocolate in all shapes, sizes and types...white, milk, dark. Truffles, creams, caramels...

We left savouring our maple creams with lots of goodies for the Easter baskets.

A definite stop when you...

I have been driving from Kitchener for over 20 years to buy Christmas chocolate here and spend not a small amount. Today while trying to figure out a mix of dark and milk chocolate for my grand kids (dairy allergy) I had them make up some packs of mixed because the prepaid ones were all too large amounts for individual kids When I was done I asked to buy an extra small box to have when I repackage stuff and was told flat out no they didn’t have enough. Now I get to look for something suitable to split stuff up. Fortunately I can help them with their poor planning in ordering supplies ; next year they can use the boxes that would normally hold what I purchase because I will turn left out of my driveway instead of right and go to...
