See’s Candy For All

…or maybe just for me, because it looks like I only have one piece left. On my recent trip to California to visit friends and family, I swung by my favorite chocolate shop, See’s Candy, to load up on some delicious treats to bring back to my new home in Texas. My favorites are the Molasses Chips, Butterscotch Squares, and Bordeaux’s and I usually get a custom box filled with just those. Forget about those mixed boxes, too many with nuts and cherry centers. Yuck.

Now I realize that in this modern age, you can order it online and get your See’s Candy fix anywhere in the world, but there’s just something about going into the store and picking out your own. Maybe it’s the staple all white interior, or the counter ladies in their other-era apparel handing out free samples in plastic gloves. Somehow that kid in you reaches out for a moment, surveying the wares while imagining eating yourself sick on chocolate. I love it.

Sadly I’m all out of See’s chocolate. This was my last piece and shortly after the photo above was taken, I happily ate it up. I know everyone has their favorite chocolate and there are quite a few great places here in the Dallas area serving up high-class treats, but they just aren’t the same to me. It’s probably because I grew up eating the stuff, but I’d still wager that See’s Candy is still some of the best chocolate treats you can get, no matter where you live. Anybody else have a See’s Candy addiction, or can recommend some confectioners in the DFW area? Dough Monkey is great!

(Apparently Google maps thinks that there are some ‘Sees Candies’ in Arlington and Frisco. I’m a little confused/excited about this, although there is no mention on the See’s website about any stores in Texas??!)
