K. Rammelle — Local services in Oak Ridge

K. Rammelle is the Wizarding World Paris’ candy store- the Parisian version of Honeydukes. It’s very cute and clean, though small so even having a dozen people in there walking around and shopping can make it feel a bit squished.

They have some of the well-known, tradition HP candies- every flavor jellybeans, chocolate frogs, peppermint toads, saltwater taffy and more. I was intrigued to see they now have dark chocolate & white chocolate frogs, along with the original milk chocolate version. Those are always fun to get to collect the 3D character cards.

Beyond this, they have newer and special items here, like the butterbeer chocolate bar. Haven’t tried it yet but a lot of people have been raving about it. As for gourmet goods, there’s a small selection but they have truffles, and of course macarons.

We got a couple macarons and we’re really impressed with them: the pumpkin was by far the best! So fresh and flavorful. I did like the way they ran the ordering for the gourmet treats- once you order they give you a number and you come back to the register to pay once it’s called. Then you aren’t just sitting in like aimlessly. I like the idea but am curious how well it will work when the park gets...

After buying 6 Truffles (Tiny) for $3.50 a piece we were extremely disappointed. They pretty much all tasted the same even though they were labeled as different flavors. We also purchased a Butterbeer white chocolate candy bar for $10. To find out that it was loaded with artificial colors and flavors. Not sure how my wife didn't catch this because she reads all ingredients in everything. Never again for these purchases and I am sure we will never return to this candy shop. Had she read the ingredients we would not have purchased it. Way too much money for this crap. Red40 is one of the ingredients that is in the Candy Bar and which is proven to cause DNA damage by the national library of medicine. Why put this stuff in something we eat that causes...

I really liked the Butterbeer bar so good! We also tried the chocolate macaron, which was absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate caramel bar was good too, though a bit rich for my taste definitely great for someone who loves caramel. The store itself is fantastic, and I’ll definitely be back to try...
