Kelly's is where I went every year to pick my Easter baskets, a local tradition. I am an absolute chocaholic, and have tasted every imported/expensive brand there is and while some compare, Kelly's is by far the most fun because you can order 100' s of different shapes in several flavors sometimes. One year I ordered a huge chocolate train for my husband, plus a tool kit and computers and cell phones for everyone in my office. Everyone was amazed at the fun shapes, but the chocolate was praised as the smoothest, creamiest they ever had. I get lambs, crosses, and kittens at Easter. I love the orange chocolate. EVERY ONE of my diabetic friends went NUTS over the DIABETIC chocolate, which tastes like real chocolate. I have started buying it for my pregnant girlfriends that have cravings, I was so worried about them getting preg diabetes. \r
You will have to be a little patient and flexible at Easter - (the big season) because they have to pour special orders. I live in Fla and have never had a problem, but sometimes they also can't ship past a certain time. I order early (Feb), and keep it in my garage frig - which now has a lock on it to keep out my honey who literally wakes up at night if he knows Kelly's chocolate is in the house :)\r
The only downside is I miss walking through the store with my grandmother, who is gone now, but the chocolate is the same as it was 30 years ago. \r

Kellys if you see these, I appreciate that you guys are still there after all these years, when so much has changed in that area. You are still loved and a big part of probably every kids favorite memories for generations. Thanks!
Pros: Awesome quality chocolates, especially diabetic chocolate
Cons: Difficult to ship in warm months to South/West US
