I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Do you have a sweet tooth? In a tiny community with a population of around 300, there is an adorable country store that has been satisfying chocolate cravings since 1921. For over 100 years, customers keep coming back and still rave about some of the most incredible homemade chocolates in Southern California.
Wisteria Candy Cottage is located in the rural town of Boulevard, close to the border of Mexico on the eastern outskirts of San Diego County.
Wisteria Candy Cottage is a family business with family customers. Just a glance at reviews and you will see that many customers return decades after their parents brought them here as children, and they are not disappointed.
A surprisingly large selection of chocolates fill the case in this tiny store, including truffles, caramels, divinity, turtles, and more. Add to that a range of chocolate-dipped goodies like pretzels and cookies.
You will also discover seasonal candies and chocolates, so there is always something new to try.
Although we can't imagine narrowing your purchase to just one item, you can buy these treats by the piece. Of course, they are also available by the pound, and you can even put together your own boxed assortment.
Did we mention homemade caramel? Cooked to perfection, you can enjoy Wisteria's hand-crafted caramel in the form of pecan rolls, chocolate-dipped caramels, and their famous caramel marshmallow pops.
Once you have tried these chocolates, they will be hard to forget. Whether you can make the trip to Wisteria or not, all you have to do is call to have your favorites shipped to you or anyone you may want to let in on the secret. Wisteria ships all over the country in special stay-cold packaging. Sounds like an excellent gift idea to us!
