Review:

Often called “the sweetest destination in Old Lyme”, The Chocolate Shell is sure to have something to satisfy your sweet tooth. The shop has been around since the 1980s, though the current owner took over in 2011. Walking in, you’ll feel as if you’ve entered Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory; the shop is full of truffles, bonbons, and chocolate covered everything no matter if you prefer salty pretzels or chewy gummy bears. Another reason that The Chocolate Shell is so popular is because it’s the best place to buy nostalgia-inducing candies from your childhood like Peanut Chews, Mallo Cups, and Abba Zabba.
