Jan's Homemade Candies - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida

Don't be fooled by the simple outdoor sign, this place is a hidden gem of handmade chocolates. They also offer various candies by the pound.

You can expect $1.75 per chocolate bonbon, with larger ones priced around $2.50 - $3.00 (prices are clearly indicated). While it might seem steep, the taste makes it well worth it. My favourites are the caramel based bonbons and the Dubai chocolates, which truly live up to their viral hype. They offer regular-sized bars and big gold bars of the Dubai.

If you've dined at one of the neighboring restaurants and are looking for a small dessert, I highly recommend picking up a few bonbons from Jan's. They also make fantastic gifts for any occasion.

Beautifully handcrafted chocolates with a great variety of flavors and textures. Jan filled our order, and my son said that I better give her 5 stars because he said it was 'amazing'. If only it wasn't 90°, I could have bought more to fly back home with.

Absolutely delicious chocolates. Our favorite is the Dubai chocolates. Just wow! The owner was so sweet and friendly.

2 friends of mine raved about this place to me and then finally brought me here. I only got 4 truffles and some chocolate bark; everything was so yummy. My favorite truffles were the milk chocolate Rose truffle and the white chocolate Blueberry Cream truffle. Everything was so neat and clean. All the displays were organized really neatly and they also had some novelty chocolate gifts in which I picked up 2 to give out as gifts. I highly recommend this place to anyone and I will come again so I can try more of their tasty treats!

Decedent. Luxurious. Sweet. Balanced. Tender. I could go on about how spectacular these chocolates and sweet treats are. With so many options and a beautiful smile on their faces, this is one of, if not, THE best candy shop I have ever been in! Classics and delicious creations like salted caramel, burbon, and even blueberry. Definitely worth the stop in. You can purchase by the piece, or you can butts different sized mix boxes like 6 count, 15 count, and 25 count

As so many of our local homemade candy makers and chocolatiers have been vanishing, I was delighted to find Jan's Homemade Candies. Just the chocolate assortments are amazing with everything from Cherry Cordials to Black Bear Paws. For myself, I purchased some Lemon and other creams and was totally delighted with their rich in taste and creamy smooth texture. While there, Jan, who is one of the nicest people you'll ever get to meet, invited me to try some complimentary samples. As I had never heard of such, I tried her dark chili chocolate which had the best tangy, zesty chili after taste but in no way overwhelming. So, if you too would like to try something out of the ordinary in chocolate, try it yourself.

Besides the chocolates, Jan's also has a wide range of varying truffles, even a Key Lime.

Then, Jan's also carries fudges and specialty items such as Hot 'N Spicy and those with themes for birthdays, baby, or wedding events, etc.

Overall, in candies and chocolates, Jan's Homemade Candies is as good as it gets, Five Stars.

I’m at a loss for words when thinking of our experience. Simply saying AMAZING doesn’t seem to do this business justice. Jan and her husband were SO friendly and welcoming to our family. The plethora of treats is outstanding. There is something for everyone! Including sugar free options. We got so many things to try! Milk chocolate Snookies, salted Carmel Snookies, 2 types of fudge, peppermint chocolate patties, caramel cashew clusters. And a few more I just can’t remember right now. The samples are a wonderful option, and will absolutely entice you to purchase! Jan was attentive to our 3 year old son and treated him almost as if she were his grandma, offering chocolates to him and just all around so sweet. We talked with them for some time about their business and what brought them to Florida. My husband and I own a business and we quickly decided to support this business in our own way from Ohio! I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone in the area. They were wonderful and I could go on and on about our extremely positive experience. The chocolates are Devine and I can’t get enough! We may stop back before our long travel home!

Oh I love this chocolate shop! Jan is such a sweet person and my daughter really enjoyed picking out things to try. Jan also gave her some "samples" while in store. Can't wait to visit again.
