When you’re in the mood for a pick-me-up, few experiences are as sweet as stepping into a local chocolate shop. These special businesses are dedicated to crafting special confections to celebrate any occasion – or perhaps no occasion at all. One of our favorite local spots, Sweet Dreams Confections Co., will make any day feel extraordinary. The family-run business has built a reputation as one of the finest shops in Middletown, if not the entire state. When you step inside and marvel at the display case, you’ll agree this isn’t your average candy store.
Stepping into Sweet Dreams Confections Co. is a bit like arriving at a dear friend’s house. The owners and staff will make you feel right at home, encouraging you to take your time deciding on your order and offering suggestions when helpful.
Chocolate lovers give glowing reviews to this cozy candy shop, crowning its truffles and dark chocolate as some of the best in Delaware. But the compliments don’t stop there: Many describe the owners as warm, welcoming, and as sweet as the chocolates they sell.
Each handmade treat is a work of art, and the flavor combinations are just as unique as the colorful exterior design. Some of the most popular items include chocolate-covered Oreos and pretzels, but the shop is equally known for its delightfully unexpected flavors, including sea salt caramel. If you’re a fan of truffles, buy an assorted box for a taste of those unique flavors. In true Delaware fashion, one of the specialty truffles is crafted with Old Bay seasoning. Another must? The churro truffle. Just trust us on this one.
After you’ve found your favorites, you can create your own custom box to take home with you or gift that special someone. Visitors also appreciate the chocolate shop’s affordable prices, especially considering the care and quality that goes into each piece.
