As soon as I posted my 25 in 2025 list, Andrea asked if I was to the chocolate shop in Kohler. I told her I think after the beer run many years ago. Turns out that beer run was 10 years ago and I'm still pretty sure we checked the chocolate shop. So I was still on the hunt for a new chocolate shop for this year.
It turned out it was easier than I thought. I thought I might had to wait until girls weekend. I just needed an adventure with Stacy. While we were exploring downtown Cedarburg, Stacy mentioned wanting to go to Amy's Candy Kitchen. I happened to notice Ashley's Confectionary across the street. I mentioned we can go to Amy's if we can also check out Ashley's. That was not a problem.
Ashley's Confectionary is located downtown Cedarburg on Washington St. It is open daily 11-5 (until 6 on Saturdays).
I was surprised by the size. It was much bigger than Amy's. There was plenty of room for customers even a small seating area. There was your typical kid candy such as Soda Can Fizzy Candy in the middle of the store. I tend to avoid this area. I want the good stuff
There was pre-packaged homemade candy such as cordials in a variety of flavors and espresso beans. Many looked tempting but I went straight to my favorites.
They had truffles. I love truffles. The had small and large truffles. I opted for the small truffles so I could get a few flavors. They were many flavors to choose from and I had a hard time deciding. I ended up with 2 milk chocolate caramel truffles and a milk chocolate truffle for the hubby. I opted for a caramel, a mint, and a champagne truffle all in dark chocolate for myself.
Unlike most truffles that I have had, these had a extra thick outer coating. It was unexpected but good. It just took a bigger bite to get to the creamy middle. All the truffles were amazing. The caramel was probably my least favorite but it was on the sweeter side.
We definitely will be back. I think the hubby was slightly disappointed that I went to Ashley's instead of Amy's (he likes Amy's coconut clusters) but did gave his seal approval for the truffle. I guess he wasn't that disappointed.
Now I may have to go to Amy's for coconut clusters and Ashley's for truffles when in Cedarburg. I still do have to have to try a caramel apple from Amy's. Stay tuned for that adventure.
Let's see if I find any other good truffles this year.
