Malley's Chocolates

Malley's is a Cleveland institution, and whenever I travel to visit Cleveland ex-pats, they always request a box of Malley's. Which make shopping for a hostess gift easy. Malley's chocolates are exquisite and ridiculous at the same time. Chocolate covered Oreos (Malley Ohs), Billy Bobs (pecans, caramel, chocolate blobby things) and the best freakin' chocolate pretzel candy bar I've ever had. I usually clean out the kids when they're selling them for school projects. Malley's supports Cleveland fundraisers of all kinds, and very generously. I believe the organization raising the money gets 1/2 of the cost of the sold products, which is more than most chocolate sellers offer. The candy bars are usually a $1 and worth every penny. Special offerings around the holidays like chocolate covered fresh fruits that are only sold on one day, and tons of special packaging for the holidays. This is really good chocolate, made right here in Cleveland, and you can even tour the factory on Brookpark Road. more

This is another great place to visit. Malley's has been around since I was a kid, and they are well known for their candy. They do have a web site which is www.malleys.com, and you can order their candy from just about anywhere. There are several locations located in Ohio that I know of. They are very busy during the holidays and on special days such as: Valentines Day, Sweetest Day and Mothers Day. During Christmas they have a display that you can see which is located in their Brookpark store, and they also offer tours there. more
