Ordered some sponge candy for relatives in South Dakota on December 3rd. Ordered through their website and got a receipt. On Wednesday the 14th, I hadn't received or heard anything about my order (like an email confirmation or shipment notification) like you normally receive from other outfits. I enquired via email and received a prompt response the same day saying that the order had been delivered to it's destination on Friday the 9th. Now I was nervous as the recipients left for the Dominican Republic on the 10th and they didn't say anything.

Great gift ideas in this store as many people won't treat themselves to these sorts of things but would appreciate the little luxuries as a gift. Nice and attentive people inside. Lots of other homemade chocolates and such I'm looking...
Read moreEvery Christmas I buy those packaged orange chocolates at the general store and my mom would always tell me about when she lived in New York decades ago and about 'Mike's chocolate'. She promised my whole life if I got to New York she'd buy me "real" orange chocolate. Well. My mom decided to send me a bunch of chocolate from Mike's Homemade Candies for Christmas this year. I just received some orange chocolate, dark orange chocolate, some sponge candy, among other trinkets. I am so happy with this gift. And thank you for ruining the store brand orange chocolate I was accustomed to. Because yours is much better. -A new...
