Essentially Well Oiled Handcrafted Chocolates — Local services in Town of Holland

I met Debra and Fritz at the Kissing Bridge Ski Swap at their Essentially Well Oiled booth recently. Fritz, holding this massive sampling tray encouraged me to sample a few of the chocolate candies…of course I am game…I’ve known Fritz since Griffith Institute High School days. I first tried one with Key Lime and coconut, then another one which featured peanut butter with corn flakes. I won’t lie, based upon those samples, I immediately embarked upon a binge impulse, purchasing the selections which I had just sampled, since they were unquestionably scrumptious. Unbeknownst to me it wasn’t over yet. Upon the completion of my purchase, I began to walk away, when Fritz said “Old friend, I want you to try one more sample- one of my personal favorites, the Power Cluster, which is prime chocolate loaded with cranberries, essence of orange, nuts, and other excellent stuff “. Trusting Fritz, as I always have, I took one of these curious gems along with me. As I walked across the parking lot in route to my car, I’m thinking…why not ? Nobody’s gonna know. So I popped the Power Cluster right then and there in the parking lot ! Now, I am no stranger to good chocolate, but the Power Cluster forced me to essentially rethink my devotion as a chocolate fancier. With that realization I immediately did an about face before I could even reach my vehicle. Making the full 180 degree turn, I abruptly strode back into the Ski Swap, returned to the Essentially Well Oiled booth where Debra, concerned asked me “ Ed, is everything okay ?” It was then that I confessed that my horizon for chocolate confection had “essentially “ broadened such that my resistance to the Power Cluster couldn’t defeat the intense gravitational pull placed on me by my taste buds and olfactory senses. (I’m paraphrasing and perhaps embellishing, but only somewhat). What actually happened is that I awkwardly blurted out “That (Power Cluster) was the best chocolate confection, which I have ever committed to my lips”. Once again, I thanked Fritz and Debra for the generosity of their free samples, Debra handed me a sack of Power Clusters which I carefully cradled, whipped out my Visa card, thereby endorsing my lasting commitment to the Essentially Well Oiled “Power Cluster”. These transcend what you and I have previously known as quality chocolate. Refrain from going through life without re-powering, try the Power Cluster, and thank you Fritz for setting my new course of chocolate appreciation. Incidentally, I need to replenish the supply, as they tend to vanish every time I approach my snacks cabinet. Sincerely yours, Edwin F. Heary. P.S. they also served up the most delightful Black Raspberry milkshake on a previous stop at their...

I found Essentially Well Oiled last year in December. I happened to follow their Website and wanted to check this store out. I fell in love with everything in this store. I purchased many gifts for Christmas presents this year and they were very well received. Some of my favorite products are the rollerball blends, the lotion bars, the lotion candles, the handmade soaps, the Beef Jerky, the sponge candy, the chocolate covered popcorn and they now have amazing teas. I am never disappointed and I refer to Essentially Well Oiled as my new Happy Place. I am craving the infamous smoothies that I absolutely love. I feel anyone who is interested in unique items and the friendliest staff and owner, you definitely need to visit Essentially Well Oiled. I promise you will not be...
