• Everything about Josh Early is always amazing! With everything changing in the world so rapidly and in my opinion more for the worse than the good going to Josh Early Candies and walking in to that old world feel is like an escape from reality! I love Josh Early it’s a piece of history a piece of my childhood and a piece of nostalgia that I pray never leaves us! Thank you to everyone incorporated with Josh Early Candies for keeping this piece of tradition alive!

  Joylyn S.

• "The establishment was pristine and warm while the music drifted me into a lane of happy memories with my mother. To exist in such an environment and be greeted by the friendly faces of this cozy shop, means a lasting day with an unwavering smile on my face. I was happy to wait as I received a delightful sample of the pecan-rolled peanut butter eggs. The quality was absolutely splendid and I was even recommended a similar candy which accommodated the preferences of my significant other. I have never had the pleasure of shopping at this store until today, but I can guarantee a swift return for my next special occasion.

  Thank you so much for the quality service!"

• I really enjoyed the selection that Josh Early Candies had. It is pricey, but you pay for the quality and the time of the people making the products you’re purchasing. The chocolate is high quality, the ladies behind the counter were helpful, and I was pleased with the items I purchased. If you’re looking to support a local business with a great product, I would definitely recommend!

• Absolutely delicious chocolate all made on-site, this place is the real world Willy Wonka chocolate factory! The widest array of handmade candies I’ve ever seen in one place. The staff is so friendly and helpful and even lets you sample the chocolates so you know you’re choosing the right ones! Such a special store!

  Christy J.

• Thankfully some things never change! This quaint old-fashioned family business appears not to have skipped a beat over Covid. They still have many of the same familiar faces standing behind the counters, tempting us all to indulge in their exquisite candy. The smell alone that hits you when you first enter the store could be bottled & sold. I’d definitely buy some! I also bought some candies to bring home, & have been happily munching away ever since. Hands down the best chocolate candy I have ever had in my life. Be sure to treat yourself, promise you’ll be glad you did!!

  Stephanie S.

• I've been going here for over 40 years... obviously that goes back to Hamilton Street location! They have a wonderful selection of chocolate and other sugary treats. The staff is very helpful and generous in allowing a few samples to jump aboard should you need help choosing.

  It’s worth the time to stop in and pick up a treat.

• Great homemade candy store. When traveling thru Pa we always stop for Josh Early Candies. They are the best. Best milk chocolate. Melts in your mouth. So smooth. This time we also picked up Amaretto Cordials. OMGOODNESS is all I have to say. So delicious. Definitely worth stopping in.

  Arlene C.

• The best chocolates anywhere. A real institution. Friendly, cheerful service even when the shop is really busy.

  Glenn A.

• Josh Early Candies is a chocolate lovers paradise : A great small batch candy confectionary. They have the absolute best chocolates anywhere. Great varieties of milk, dark and white chocolate filled with fruits, nuts, creams, toffees, etc. Also loved the new habanero sea salt caramel!! But my all time favorite are the milk chocolate buttercream!!
