See's sells their candy at kiosks at the mall during the Christmas holidays here but they don't have a store year-round here that I am aware of; their candy is really good.....a friend used to give everyone at work some Sees each Christmas and we always looked forward to it.

It's the best! I grew up on it. My Mother would bring home the yearly box of See's that her employees gave her, and I would test then until I found one I liked, she saying that she never picked up a piece of candy that didn't have a hole in it, lol. My favorites are the rum nougat and strawberry creams. Christmas wouldn't be the same without a box of these. DD loves the truffles, the lemon being my favorite.

I've had drugstore boxed candy, obnoxiously overpriced "gourmet" candy, and everything in between.

I have yet to find chocolates/candy that that comes in such a good assortment, that is super fresh, and that simply tastes as good as See's. And I think that compared to some of the frou-frou little gourmet candy companies, it is still the best value around.

completely agree!

I would have to agree as well. My mom goes every year go visit my aunt and always brings a big box home for us. THE best!

Has anyone else ever been in a candy factory's outlet store? I'm often in Southwest Colorado where there is a large Russell Stover/Whitman's factory in Montrose. It's a free-standing building the size of a supermarket. I'm sure my eyes bugged out the first time I saw it. This place is filled with large tables covered with high piles of the various candies. Prices are very low compared to retail. Talk about a kid in a candy store!

We love See's. I always get dark chocolate. Love the Bordeaux, marzipan, almonds, etc. Their sugar free chocolate is good too.

See's is a really good chocolate, and I learned to prefer one small piece of their candy, to any candy bar there is. Godiva is probably the only American brand that is competitive with See's, but I still prefer See's.

Our Midwestern family prefers it, too, and we always take it for gifts when we visit back there. When I lived in St. Louis county we had a wonderful candy maker, Mavrakos, which no longer exists, and I often wonder if Mavrakos was St. Louis' equal to Sees. Guess I'll never know.

Not only is the quality of the product good, but the service is excellent and I appreciate the effort they make to serve the customer.

Speaking of chocolate, does anyone else think that Hershey's has gone WAY down hill? I now prefer Dove dark, and am keeping them in business, lol. See's custom boxes sound like a good idea, I just KNOW that I will be ordering. Thanks, ladies, for the reviews.

Love See's. Better than Godiva IMO.

I love the Cali brittle, in white, milk, or dark.

When I buy this, it doesn't last long, so I don't buy often. I can eat inhuman quantities of this!

We do have quite a few small, local chocolatiers in my area, and they are really great, so I tend to buy there more than Sees.

But there is a Sees near the mall where I go.to shop, so, sometimes the car points in that direction all on its own.

When I went off to college in the late 70s, my parents would send me a box of strawberry creams. I'd pick them up at the Post Office and the guy behind the counter always knew what was in the package.

Not long ago I'd decided to buy a box just to see if I could experience that little bit of joy again, but I discovered the company had discontinued the strawberry creams.

The end of an era.

Excellent. The covered nuts are fresh and crunchy -- not stale.

Great flavors.
