Delicious in Baltimore: Wockenfuss Candy

With the holidays around the corner, I cannot stop thinking about candy.  Baltimore has a number of top-notch chocolatiers, and I have to admit that I have tried and liked all of them.  Today, however, I am going to focus on Wockenfuss Candies since they recently made a huge commitment to staying in Baltimore when they relocated and expanded their manufacturing facility.  A Baltimore treat since 1915, Wockenfuss now churns out its famous chocolates, fudge, and old fashioned candy at 6831 Harford Road.  The layout of the new operation also allows Wockenfuss to offer tours.

This is a photograph of the counter of deliciousness at Wockenfuss' Harford Road shop, which also features a small post office, so you can send gifts of candy without even leaving the store.  Wockenfuss has a total of eight locations, including three in Ocean City, two in Baltimore County, and one in both Harford and Howard Counties, so you have no excuse not to pick up these locally made treats.

You know you are in Maryland when the chocolatier crafts chocolate in the shape of lacrosse sticks!  Go ahead and buy a chocolate lacrosse stick, but I also highly recommend the dark chocolate-covered pretzels.
