Great for your daily dose of sweets and even better for holidays and parties
It’s absolutely incredible and the staff is great ..big thanks to Ron and George

Stopped in this place is a gem we got the salted caramel - I ate them all before we got home ! Chocolate covered pretzels were crazy!

Went for saltwater taffy and was impressed by the selection of classic chocolates and the kindness of the woman working here. Worth a stop despite the tucked away location.

It appears that chocolate is a very difficult commodity to deliver in perfect condition every time. I've learned to appreciate "fresh & flavorful" and, after sampling the offerings from every provider I know of within 50 miles; there is only one provider that doesn't put it's product over tin foil and under Saran wrap (bad sign, unless you like slow moving, aged/stale product)...never seen that at Criterion Chocolate. Always fresh, always delicious...and it melts!!! Did you ever notice that the crappier chocolate barely melts in your hand. This is not a plug for M&M's; it's an observation that additives effect taste (sorry Hershey & Nestle)...Criterion product still melts!! Buy your chocolate there...there is only one #1!!

A friend mentioned Criterion Chocolates to me as she used to live in NJ, and still has relatives there. I ordered a pound of dark chocolate nonpariels for her and some dark chocolate turtles as well. When they arrived, she offered me a taste, and I loved 'em. I'll be ordering more for my own enjoyment.

The ordering process is a bit old fashioned ... nothing on line. Gotta make a phone call, talk to people, and then wait a while before getting the chocolate. Kind of nice ... Oh, they won't ship the chocolates during the hot months, especially to California where we're located.

The best choclate in NJ. My Grandma used to take me to Criterion when they were on the Asbury Park boardwalk. Whenever im in Eatontown i always make a stop yo pick up some chocolate. I wish they would reopen on thr boardwalk.

Delicious chocolate treats and caramel and candy apples!!! Yummy!!!

Wonderful quality, helpful staff. My family's favorite place to buy chocolates. Our first visit there was like discovering a hidden jewel in our own backyard!

I love the chocolate there! It’s so good and the person/people that work there are so kind and sweet! I love the chocolate it reminds me of when I was little. And it’s so cheap!!

Thank you for being so nice... If you get a chance stop in get some great chocolates 🍫

The best chocolate covered cherries I’ve ever had!!! I can’t put down the chocolate covered graham crackers!! YUM!

Great place to stop by to pick up chocolate for any occasion! They make themed candy as well for Easter, Mother's Day, or any holiday. I will definetly be stopping by again.

Best haystacks and chocolate turtles I have ever had! Very sweet ladies helped us and answered our questions. Would recommend to anyone.

The all time best caramel apples are here

Lots of choices. Chocolate is very yummy.

Thanks for sharing my post I may hear from her... It has been 60 years.

Friendly owners and employees. Very clean. Nice variety of chocolates and best taffy in NJ.

I love Criterion Chocolates. The candy and chocolate are delicious and always a pleasure place to visit and buy gifts.

Chocolate is awesome...a little pricey but its made fresh on premises. I go there all the time. Love Criterion
