Burton – Burton is a sweet place to visit. Burton is well known for its maple syrup and maple sugaring activities. We all know that the Burton Log Cabin offers maple syrup and candy all year round. But there are two more reasons to find Burton so sweet. Buckeye Chocolates and White House Chocolates have upped the sweet factor in the town of Burton.
Buckeye Chocolates is located at 14646 Ravenna Road in Burton. Buckeye offers so many sweet treats in milk, dark, white or sugar- free options. Stop by their store and you will find nuts, caramels, meltaways, truffles and fudge, just to name a few of their popular items. They also offer peanut or cashew brittle as well as roasted almonds, cashews or pecans. Their buckeye candies are a true tribute to Ohio’s state tree, the Buckeye.
If you are looking for a gift for that special someone, Buckeye has just the option for you. You can choose from assorted chocolate trays or baskets. Their gift wrapping is beautiful which makes your gift ready-to-give. They also do favors for special occasions such as weddings, baby showers and other events.
Buckeye Chocolates was started in 2004 by brothers Brian, Craig and Eric Hart. Hopefully, when you stop by they will be making candies and you can watch from their lobby which offers a view into their workshop. If you are a chocolate lover, Buckeye Chocolates is a must-see and a must-taste. Their hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am until 5 pm and Saturday from 9 am until 3 pm. Many local grocery stores offer their boxed chocolates and candy bars. If you cannot get out to their factory in Burton, this is always a great alternative for trying their delicious chocolate concoctions.
White House Chocolates is located at 14607 Kinsman Road in Burton. White House offers many sweets in milk, dark, white and sugar-free chocolate options. Check out their assortment of chocolates, chocolate-covered items (pretzels, cookies and potato chips) as well as fudge and fruit slices. White House offers many pre-packaged items as well as a counter full of goodies so you can make up your own assortment. Their truffles and triple-dipped malted milk balls are simply fabulous.
Inside the white house that contains their chocolate store, you will not only be able to enjoy all the sweet treats, but you will also find a wide selection of gift items and greeting cards. They also carry the largest selection, in this area, of Jim Shore figurines which make perfect gifts.
Ken and Debbie Butler are the owners of White House Chocolates and take pride in the quality of their products. Their store hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 am until 6 pm. They offer weekly specials and have great holiday specials too. For example, their triple-dipped strawberries are a huge hit on Sweetest Day and their chocolate, caramel-dipped apples leave me wanting more.
I cannot say which chocolates I like best, as they both offer superior products and taste great. My suggestion would be to try them both. Remember, one can never have enough chocolate, chocolate is what makes life so sweet.
