Callie's Candy Kitchen is a must stop for me every time I go to the Poconos. When I went in August it was both my first and last stop on my trip. Why? Simply because I like to not only spend hundreds on personal candy, but for those back home as well. If I was ambitious enough to drive across Pennsylvania several times a year, I would visit this place frequently.
The truffle pricing was a bit off on every time we stopped (i.e. what was a 1/2 pound or a full pound.) So either we were undercharged or over charged for truffles. Not a major deal, but worth mentioning that it may be something that everyone is fully trained on. Or maybe possibly having a sign that states x-amount in a pound would be awesome.
They have a small section of sugar free candies. I purchased some and brought back for my diabetic neighbors, who thought they were amazing.
By the way, I suggest trying their truffles. My husband loves the cordials. However, I don't think you can go wrong with any selection.
If you are ever in the Poconos make it a point to stop at this gem open 7...
Read moreCallie's is a nostalgic haven for candy enthusiasts of all ages. Stepping inside feels like entering a time capsule, where shelves are adorned with jars of colorful confections, and the air is sweet with the scent of chocolate.
Fond memories of childhood visits flood back as you peruse the shelves, recalling the excitement of choosing from an endless selection of candies and, of course, a visit with the now late Mr. Callie.
One of my favorites is the chocolate covered grapes, a surprising combination of sweet and tart. Another beloved treat is the chocolate covered cream cheese, offering a creamy indulgence wrapped in a decadent chocolate coating. And who could forget the Mountain Bark? Take your pick of white dark or milk chocolate squares with numerous additions of pecan, raisins, krispies, peanut butter, mint... and many more!
Whether you're seeking a nostalgic trip down memory lane or simply looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, Callie's Candy Kitchen offers an unforgettable experience that keeps customers coming...
Read moreI came here on the way home from a camping trip at Spruce Lake Retreat. The candy kitchen is fairly close to Spruce Lake. I think as long as I'm able to get back to Spruce Lake with my church again I'll be stopping at Callie's again. I was with my father and my son. I am divorced, shortly after I filed for divorce I met mostly "winning candidates" and just got hurt more. So for now due to dating trauma, I've settled for losing a husband and gaining a grandpa with my dad. My dad is very nice. I don't expect him to pay but he picks up the tab most of the time anyway.
I picked out milk chocolate covered pretzels, and assorted peanuts. My son picked out a plushy. My dad bought it all even though I was willing to pay.
There is so much candy when you walk in here. So many choices and they have antique candy molds which is pretty interesting.
The girl behind the counter was nice. The place is filled wall to wall with so many different choices of candy.
Definitely a nice place to...
