The best part of this stop was watching the kids’ eyes as we entered. The expression like a kid in a candy shop came to mind, though I have to admit that my eyes were probably just as wide.
This shop is massive and full of candy of every type—baskets fill the walls, and racks fill up the middle section. Off to one side are white marble tables with young ladies busy making fudge. Again, I was surprised—here it was November and well past the prime of the tourist season, yet Tremblay's was full and very busy.
We gave the kids the unfair task of taking a white paper bag and each filling it up with ten pieces. Decision time! Do they head over to the wall of salt water taffy or head for the racks and racks of Christmas candies, or do they just go for an old favorite like Swedish fish?
This was a great stop, and we loaded up for our car trip home. We sampled the fudge, and it was delicious. I am not a huge fudge lover, but the different varieties here were fun to look at and sample. I was impressed by how clean the store was and how friendly the young ladies working behind the counter were. They reminded us not to be shy and to feel free to ask for any samples we may wish to try.
I guess I am happy that Tremblay's is not nearer to my home—this place could become a habit. We left with our white bags full of goodies, all comparing our picks and selections. We all were kids in a candy store.
