Chocolate Works

I just wanted to write a review not on an experience I personally had but one my mom recently had (she will not stop talking about it). My mom stopped in a couple weeks ago, and wanted to get me a special treat because I was getting surgery and couldn’t eat anything at all. She keeps telling me about how interesting this store is I never knew it was even in Montclair but I am a total chocolate person so will be stopping by to check it out myself when I’m near that town, to see what all the rave is about. She also had a great customer service experience she didn’t know what to get for me, the person at the store I believe her name was Andrea (at least that’s what my mom is telling me), suggested the chocolate covered Oreo it was incredible. I will be stopping her to see how my experience goes, and will update my post as soon as I personally go! I’m just happy that my mom was able to have such a great experience herself, you guys must be doing something right, so 5 stars for my mom and from what I tasted it was very good.

Review is based on a birthday party I attended.
Let’s just say my daughter says out loud «I LOVE THIS PLACE»!!!
Once we walked in I knew this was going to be a fun party. They had them write their names on their brown goodie bag and decorate it while we were waiting for the other guests to arrive. Then each child chose a mold. My daughter chose the bunny mold.
They walked them to the chocolate station and had each child fill their molds and even taste the chocolate. Then they played a «guess the jelly bean flavor» game. THEN each child chose a topping (m&m, chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc) and then picked either an Oreo, Graham cracker, or Pretzel… it went through the chocolate conveyor belt… then they were able to throw their toppings in the middle of the process then when it came out, they got the chance to eat it right away… even the adults got the chance to join the fun mmmm.
It’s not over yet! Each child picked a pretzel or marshmallow and used the chocolate fountain… I saw strawberries but it looked like it wasn’t a choice booooo. Then the adults got the chance to do it too yay!!!
THEN they gave them a small bag with a green line (which meant they could only fill the bag with candy up to that line). Too bad they couldn’t select any candy. just the ones with a green dot! But candy is candy to the kids… they had selections from mostly any sour gummies to starburst, smarties, tootsie roll, dum dum pops, etc.
Lastly, they had ice cream sundaes and got to choose their toppings again!
Can’t forget the pizza and drinks… at the end they got their goodie bags and even got the chance to chocolate paint their mold candy they made in the beginning.
Staff was so friendly and great with the kids!!!
$ 400 for 10 kids for a bday party and then $ 20 for an additional child. It was pricey! But it was fun!
Other than that… lots of sugary treats all over the store… it was a sugar rush for the kids but they loved it!!!

Chocolate works has a great selection of sweets and treats for all ages. I absolutely love their custom chocolate lollipops! The owner and staff are always helpful and a pleasure to work with! The store is very organized and clean! I would recommend them for gifts, parties and for your everyday sweet tooth!

What a great store! I needed some help with a special gift and the service and expertice was outstanding! The beautiful wrapped platter of goodies, chocolate dipped pretzels and marshmellows were a big hit!

So I was going to book my daughter party here. Walk in to pay deposit and when I walk in this older lady was talking to high school students… The one young lady ask for a application and she said «NO» so that really caught my attention. then she went on to say you came in here with your friend you not independent and I don’t need someone like that working for me… as I am in total shock still didn’t say anything. so the one young lady walk out and her friend talked to say but we both want application that why we came together. Do you know the older lady had the nerve to say to the friend well you come in here for a job application with a drink in your hand (starbucks cup) so in my head I’m like why couldn’t you just give me them application and whatever you choose to do with them is your business but for you to down two African American girls because of job application. Made me walk right out and will not be supporting this business…

If I could give zero stars I would the owner of this business is very unprofessional and prejudice I don’t recommend shopping here take your money and business elsewhere, I will be reporting her to the better business bureau.

This store has so many delicious things. It’s a great gift buying experience. Can’t wait to go back!

Chocolate Works was a godsend when I was looking for holiday gifts a few months ago. The shop has a number of gift baskets filled with handmade chocolates, sweets, and other yummy treats.
You can also just stop in to pick up a little sweet pick-​me-​up (I recommend one of the many different chocolate covered cookies or marshmallows behind the glass counter up front). I haven’t tried the chocolate covered strawberries yet, but most probably will soon as Valentine’s Day is around the corner as I type out this review.
It’s a cute shop and the girls behind the counter are friendly and very helpful. One day I even met the owner/​manager who was super approachable and had a passion for what the shop has to offer. I highly recommend Chocolate Works!

Needed to kill some time time in area so this place caught my eye. They had a great variety of types of candy and chocolate in shapes of different hobbies or professions I could see making great gifts for people. We got some chocolate covered strawberries out of a small fridge, but I only wish they had napkins or something next to it so it didn’t get melted while waiting to pay. I also got a chocolate coin which the cashier had trouble figuring out how to price so a line started to gather as we waited.
The chocolate was delicious though! Will definitely be back if I need gifts for people or just for myself.

I scheduled a workshop as a birthday gift for my granddaughter — on Monday, June 22^nd.
Marcia and Maria were outstanding! They were patient, informative and made my granddaughter feel relaxed! They explained every step in the process to her.
She is already asking when she can go back there!

went there after dinner as I enjoyed the gelato and the service was pretty on point as we were greeted with a friendly smile. everything was great about it except a little on the expensive side

Love this place! It’s so bright, cheerful and pretty when you walk in. I thought the chocolate was delicious. Hadn’t been planning to get that much but then couldn’t resist. The platters and gift items were plentiful and looked amazing. My son had a great time at a party he attended here. Looking forward to being in the area again and stopping by.

Just stopped by Chocolate Works for the first time and this place is amazing! The selection of chocolate, candy and gifts is great. Something for everyone. Must try the truffles, yum! Chocolate fountain looked incredible, you can even do chocolate shots. There was a kids party going on and the kids looked to be having a wonderful time. Definitely a great place for a sweet gift.

I came in and everything I bought was fantastic. All the chocolate that I bought was the best I’ve ever had. Their truffles are great and I also loved their dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Also everything was reasonably priced and I didn’t wind up paying much for a lot of chocolate

So many choices to choose from! The chocolate platters were a big hit with my family. Ask for samples! The owner was so helpful with ideas. Didn’t get a chance to do the chocolate shots but I plan to the next time I stop in.

Three holidays, three delicious platters. The Valentines strawberries were perfect and delicious; cannot compare fresh-​dipped fruit to the dipped & shipped stuff online (it just isn’t apples to apples– see what I did there?). Anniversary platter starring dark everything; nuts, pretzels, fruit, and straight-​up dark chocolate candy. Passover (Montclair location is Kosher) platter of dark chocolate matzo is the only thing that keeps us eating matzo after the first day. Can’t wait to drop in this Weds for Admin Professionals day and next month for Mother’s Day. Yes, I covet the chocolate fountain; it is mesmerizing!

Chocolate works is a great place for Montclair: great candy and ice cream. Also a great place to go for «dessert» after a meal, skipping the typical $ 12 dessert dish at various restaurants and dessert shops throughout Montclair.
Pros:
–Decent selection of candy (they had cookie dough bites, pretzel poppers and some gummies that Livingston didn’t have)
–Clean store
–Many gift options available for a grab and go gift
–Noticed that they had Vegan chocolates at this location, pretty cool if you are a vegan since they are adjacent to a Vegan restaurant.
Cons:
–Certain candies we were looking for that were in Livingston, weren’t in the Montclair location such as rainbow sour belts and zours.
–The Livingston workers immediately greet you and welcome you
–Livingston offered free samples
Definitely a place to go if you’re in the Park Street and Church Street area.

I came here with a group for a ladies night. It was a nice clean place. Honestly for what they charge for the private chocolate and chat party is a lot compared to what they give you. Not really worth it. I would come here if I was in the area to pick up some sweets.

Candy selection is good– about $ 2 per pound more than I’m used to paying, but that’s probably because it’s in Montclair. The loose candies were fresh so long as they weren’t individually wrapped (the starburst and laffy taffy I got were both hard as rocks).

Such a wonderful place! Love the frozen signature chocolate truffles. Stop in for a free sample!
