Article by Eric H., VisitingNewEngland.com Hilliards House of Candy in Easton, Mass., has a lot of heart when it comes to Valentine’s Day gift selections.
A family-run business for more than 80 years, Hilliard’s sweet mission thrives year-round with what we feel is the best in chocolates and other truly delicious homemade confections (and a seasonal ice cream parlor), but the Valentine’s Day season truly annually shines in its charming Victorian home presence. The layout of hand-crafted truffles, turtles, toffee, various other chocolates and gift baskets and a red-colored theme throughout the store make this a Valentine’s Days delight. What’s most satisfying, however, is that a locally-owned business like Hilliards can become a household name in the Bristol County area in an age of big box store domination. The presence of Hilliards House of Candy doing so well is enough to make one fall in love with shopping local!
Hilliards House of Candies 316 Main St. (Rte. 138) North Easton, MA 508-238-6231 ~ 1-800-286-853
