It was almost 15 years ago that I was introduced to wonderful candy known as See’s Candy. See’s is a legendary candy that has almost a century of history behind them. Ok, so you may be wondering why a restaurant reviewer is doing a write up on a candy company, and honestly it is because I want everyone to know the wonder that is See’s Candy. For those of us on the east coast we do not have See’s available to us (at least not in store form) on a daily basis. But, not to fear because here in Jacksonville, Florida we have a See’s Candy store for the holidays inside of The Avenues Mall, but only till December 26.   See’s is based on the West Coast in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In years past they have set up and also offer samples to let you know just how great their candies are. It is the holidays and everyone loves candy during the holiday season, and See’s is accommodating  to all kinds of taste.  If you cannot have sugar you must try the sugar free items at See’s. You see the sugar free peanut brittle is absolutely fantastic, as is the sugar free chocolate. If you can have sugar and are looking for a lasting taste, then you should grab a box of the Gourmet Lollypops.

There are other candy options in north Florida including some local places that have lines out the door. But, you should know that quite possibly the best chocolate and candies that are available are in the form of See’s Candy. If you are looking for a great candy, you should grab a box of See’s, either the Nuts and Chews, Assorted, Truffles, or even a single candy bar that is known as an Awesome Bar. For any of these items you can spend as little as ONE BUCK! And less than $20 for a box of Truffles! The Assorted Candies are less than $17 a box, so you have many options at different price points.

 If you are not able to make it to The Avenues Mall right off of Southside and US 1 before December 26th then you can order online (I would recommend that you at least log on to order a catalog from them)
