I begin by saying that I am an novice chocolate maker myself. When I was home with my young son many years ago, I had a small home based business where I made various chocolate and taffy concoctions with a lot of success. I found this small store while going into the building for ice cream. This is not the factory it is a small location shared with an ice cream shop. The woman there was super kind and helpful. She was also a great saleswoman because I left buying much mire than I planned to! My husband chose the Milk Chocolate Tree Stumps which are absolutely the best combination of chocolate, pretzels, Carmel, and peanut butter. The salesperson told me it was a best seller and I was skeptical...but I will revisit on our next 200 mile journey to the area just for those. Of course you can order online but it is such a beautiful area we will be going back anyway. We did not get to take the factory tour about a mile away from the store, however, we will plan to next time. *See the picture advertisement for information! FYI if you are visiting the area...this was one of the few places that was open. Despite many places in the area saying they were open with updated websites and even after we made appointments...there were many places closed. Call first and double check again right before you head in that direction. We traveled over 200 miles to spend a relaxing weekend visiting pls es in the area and half of the places we planned to visit were closed. We were very grateful for places like Highland Chocolates for us to visit!

Tioga Trail Rides is a wonderful way to experience the mountains of northern Pennsylvania. It is so much fun and the guide is super-knowledgeable. He has been doing this for over thirty years so this isn't his first rodeo and very personable. The views are awesome and the ride through the woods was magical. There were deer so close to the horses which I never had experienced before. Definitely worth checking out!! They are amazing people with amazing animals. We did the two hour ride and would definitely do it again if we are back in the area.
