Does anyone know how we get the juicy centers in the chocolate cherries?
January 4, 2011 By
Here in our upstate New York candy factory (we are in Schenectady just outside of Albany County) we delight in making our famous chocolate covered cherries with the JUICY centers! Do any of our great customers know HOW we do it?
If you think you know the answer please leave your answer as a comment to this blog post.
AllOverAlbany.com discovers Uncle Sam’s!
December 9, 2010 By
AllOverAlbany.com is that smart, savvy friend with the inside line on what’s happening around the Capital Region. Well, they just discovered UncleSam’s and did a very nice feature on us. Here is an excerpt:
So now that you know it all looks gorgeous, how does it taste? Owner Joe Suhrada was kind enough to give me a sample of the dark chocolate almond butter crunch — and it was phenomenal; sweet and a little salty and comfortably crunchy (I didn’t worry about losing a filling).
I bought a sample box of hand-dipped chocolates for taste-testing at home (my family members are such troopers…) and a bag of filbert snowballs.
The hand-dipped chocolates went over really well, with fillings like caramel, maple, mint, and chocolate, plus a couple of chocolate/nut clusters. Everything really had that homemade taste. The only drawback was that there wasn’t any indication of what was in the box; to quote Forrest Gump, you never knew what you were going to get. The filbert snowballs are pure white sugar with a filbert nestled in the center; I have a serious sweet-tooth and even I was taken aback by how sweet they were. Not bad, but I don’t think I could eat more than one.
Overall, Uncle Sam’s Candy is well-worth a stop for all-American candy and an eclectic collection of seasonal and molded chocolate. Now I know why people are such fans.
