Oh!  For all things that are goodies...River Street Sweets.  A family business, made by hand and often a free box of pecan pralines!

Have any of you ever purchased "Giannios Chocolates"?  They are an "American Family owned Chocolate Company" and have been in business since 1910.  I first found them on HSN..  I have gifted these so many times and have always received rave reviews and very well appreciated 'Thank You's".

     I switched to Giannos three years ago.  Love the marshmallow covered with dark chocolate!  Gifted many and everyone loves them!!

Last October 19th (2014) I ordered and received the five 1 lb. Harry London Nutcracker tins, and the total was $57.18 - "out the door"- ha! There was a choice of Nutcracker tins or Cottage tins. The tins are very well made and beautiful - not like some you get popcorn in and get dented easily.  We were very happy with the quality of the candy, for the price, including the tins! It included 5 lbs of candy!  Right now, the Nutcracker Tins are 3 for $44.12.....

 

We have See's Candy where we live, and there is NO CANDY that I have had that can beat it!  I've only tried Godiva a piece at a time, but it is more expensive than See's.... It depends on what we're ordering it for, I guess...

Sorry. Typing on my phone is awful. It keeps changing words and sent reply before I was done. Wanted to say that Fannie May candy is the one closest to where I live now.

MominOhio, I agree with you about HL chocolates. Waggoner chocolates is so close to where I live, that I can probably throw a stone and hit the store, LOL. (I live in North Canton)

 

Would you be willing to share the buckeye recipe with me, or others here? I am intriqued with your mention of the secret of the chocolate. I am so intruqued, that I would be willing to post my personal email here, just until you get it, then delete it. Will check back here Wednesday evening.

I agree about Sees.  It wouldn't be Christmas if I wasn't given a pound of See's rum nougats.  I also love the milk chocolate with strawberry cream center.

Which candy is better? Waggoner's or Harry London?

I've never heard of Waggoner's, but remember when Harry's used to be on HSN, the vendor's last name was Waggonner. 

 

She's a show host on Evine now.  Can't think of her first name. 

 

I do remember she alluded to the fact she was *family* to the HL line of candies.  So she must be family to the Waggoner line too!
