Victoria's Candies Inc - Hazleton, Pennsylvania

B C.

When we think of Hazleton, so often the first thing that comes to mind is Hazleton Food, right? These are foods we have eaten for decades from businesses that are family owned and use only quality ingredients, etc. Victoria's Candies (a gourmet confectionery) is one of those staples for me.

Victoria's is 85+ years old! What a run! Though in a new, modern location, the business is the same, so too the commitment to the quality for which they are well known. Their variety is tremendous.

I was so happy to speak with Angelo, one of the business's principles, whose pride in both the business and community at-large is palpable. Angelo related that their candy is produced using the same equipment his grandparents used in addition to the same unchanged recipes. The staff is very delightful as well!

My personal favorites: Butter Creams, Molasses Coconut, Chocolate Covered Caramels, Caramel and Marshmallow, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, all the Creams, all the Jellies, Fruit Jelly Beans, Peanut Butter YumYums because they're really good and I like saying "YumYums". It's all wonderful!

I've enjoyed Victoria's Candies for a lifetime now, that "taste" is something I look forward to, I highly recommend their products and I wish them the best for their next 85 years!

Victoria’s Candies is in the zip code right next to Heaven! How many times over the past fifty years have I looked forward with such anticipation to walking into this wonderful place? Whether it was the store on Laurel Street, their branch at the Mall or now off the Hazleton Beltway you walked in with the knowledge that it was going to be good, real good. Talk about kid in a candy store! I just did my annual pilgrimage, now a two hour drive, to go into the Beltway store and pick up a bunch of boxes for the special people back home and to oversee those packages Victoria’s ships all over creation for me at Christmas time.
Naturally, I took advantage of the opportunity to have my own personal 2 pounder hand picked from the display in the store. So hard to pick only two pounds; but, I know Victoria’s is going to be there for a long, long time because they’re so darn good!
At this wonderful time of year, when we all count our blessings I always remember to thank Heaven for blessing us with Victoria’s Candies.

Victoria's candies are the best chocolates. There is a large selection of assorted candies, filled and solid chocolates, also sugar-free. You can purchase boxes already made up or choose your favorites. My favorite is Virginia Dainties. The buttercream filling is delicious. There is also white, milk and dark chocolate candy in a large variety of shapes and characters. The clerk was very pleasant and nice to talk to. As for atmosphere, it is a room filled with candy! Yum!

I have always loved Victorias candies and have ordered them over the holidays for the many years since I’ve left the Hazleton area. However this will be the last Christmas I order from them. I received a 2 lb box of Virginia dainties in horrible condition and emailed and called and sent pictures of the condition they were received in. Instead of being sent in two separate one pound boxes they were sent in one flat two pound box and were completely smooshed. The person whom I contacted just stopped responding to me and I received neither a refund or new order. They are way too expensive to just accept this. I’m very disappointed

I have been going to Victoria's for over a year to stock up on chocolate and they are just amazing every time! I love their peanut butter cups and vanilla butter creams the most but they have a big selection to choose from. Most of their candies come in milk, dark, or white chocolate which is great if you live in a divided household like me. Could not recommend them more!

I did not know all the different chocolate covered candies there was til I went into this store. Chocolate covered orange peels are one of my favorites. If you are a chocolate lover this is the place to try it all.

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul the owner who runs this business with his son. They are a great local shop and a place I support after learning about them and the company history. They were born to make and sell candy!
