Customer Reviews

Barkus Chocolates has been in business for decades, but I only recently heard of them and tried their chocolates. I bought their potato chip stack, peanut butter cup, s?more, and assorted box of chocolates. I liked most of the flavors. My favorite was the cherry cordial.

The boxed chocolates at Christmas had plastic covering which made all the chocolate taste like plastic, yuck. Never had that problem in past years.

My daughters and I walked in this morning around 9:30 & the woman working was beyond rude. She and the other young woman working had their backs to us & never even acknowledged that we were there. After some awkward silence I asked if they still sold cakes & the woman curtly replied that they are short staffed, so they don?t have baked goods. She never even turned around when she answered me! As soon as she walked to the back we left & I highly doubt that I?ll be back.

The candy is very yummy. But even more so the cakes from there are ridiculously delicious! If you're looking for cheap though, go to Wal-Mart. But you'll also get what you paid for. I have NEVER been disappointed with a cake I purchased from here.

Thank you! Amy. Our delivery to NY was fast. We all enjoyed the peanut butter candies . Grandkids will enjoy the Easter chocolate. Will order again.
