Bittersweet Candy

Heather's chocolate is simply the best! There's no frills about it - smooth, excellent flavor, and easy to understand ingredients with fun molds.

Options:
White
Milk
Dark
Some are dairy free
Some are nut free
Some are gluten free

From sassy to classy, there are shapes and sizes for most flavor profiles. Whether it is your "Basic Bar" in milk chocolate to a saucy looking corset or mustache lolli, these playful chocolates offer a wide variety of everything from professional to playful! The range of chocolate molds is fun to look at and tempting not to buy: motorcycles, dogs, chicken and waffles, music pieces, clothing.

It's her art and your edible treat! 😋

Candy: looking for retro sweets? Yes, you might find those too. It's a trip down memory lane for many who enter.

Secret Find: ask for their champagne flavored gummy bears kept behind the counter. AMAZING!

Ordered chocolates for Christmas gifts and everyone loved them. I gave them each an assortment of bark and everyone raved about it. My 102 year old mom especially loved the white chocolate, pistachio and cranberry bark.

Great chocolate & great vibes! I am not really one for posting reviews but people should know about this little gem right in Schenectady. The chocolate is not only delicious but also creative. So many fun "dipped things" and great bark combinations as well. I used them as favors for my wedding and they were a huge hit! The owner Heather is super friendly and helpful.This store is a labor of love and it really shows.

I have been stopping in for awhile and have always loved everything from this shop. This past week I needed a last minute party favor for my daughters birthday, I messaged the store to see if they might have enough chocolate lollipops and Heather responded so quickly and then made the product and a custom label, thank you so much!! ♥

Such a cute store, lovely staff and a wonderful place to visit if you are visiting the area

Buttersweet Candy is a quant boutique candy store nestled in on Jay Street (Schenectady). The artisan chocolate was rich and creamy pairing perfectly with the gummy candy underneath. 10/10 for the recommendations. I hope to revisit very soon.

This is a great local business with an amazing assortment of candy! Heather is amazing and will do custom work . This is a true gem on Jay St.

Some of the best chocolate I've had around the area, Heather is not only always creating new delicious creations... but she is also super friendly and helpful! She is always willing to go the extra mile, and think out of the box. I highly recommend ordering your custom chocolate creations from Bittersweet! She also helped create a chocolate with hops in it for a special occasion, 10/10!!!!

My family has been going to Bittersweet since the minute it opened, and has never been anything but blown away by the quality of the chocolate skillfully crafted. The flavor profiles Heather comes up with blows our minds every time. Happy to accommodate custom orders, we have a few family favorites made special at a moments notice. Her on-site kitchen is only one chocolate waterfall away from putting Willy Wonka out of business, and we couldn't be any happier!

I visited Bittersweet on Sunday, not only did I get some amazing Chocolate raisin peanut butter bark (the chocolate is so yummy)but I also picked up some nostalgic candy to send to my childhood friend of 30 years(so many candies we use to eat as kids)not to mention the chocolate teddy bear I gave to my mom for her bday (she loved it) the owner Heather is the nicest owner on Jay street and definitely knows her chocolate. I will definitely be returning again..and again!!!

The candy from Bittersweet is unique and tastes amazing! All of the bark combinations are to die for! I personally love the s’mores one or anything peppermint. The owner, Heather, is an awesome and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and cares about her community.

I highly recommend checking the store out or her website!

Adorable shop with amazing hand made chocolate treats, as well as super fun and sassy gifts. The peppermint bark is my favorite. Season permitting Heather’s treats can be shipped anywhere! Clean shop with appropriate pandemic precautions in place!

The most amazing chocolate! I don't even like chocolate (I know I'm weird) but I look forward to ordering every year. My clients also look forward to receiving their holiday gift. Shipped all the way to Florida and it is always fresh and delish! Highly recommend trying this candy store.

We drove an hour and a half today to shop at Bittersweet. The chocolate is amazing. Previously, Bittersweet was located in Poughkeepsie, about a mile and a half from our house. Heather's product line has grown in volume and quality and there is no better place to buy stocking stuffers for the holidays. Highly recommended!

If you like chocolate, do yourself a favor and stop by this place. They have a bunch of hard to find candies and their homemade chocolate is amazing, better than most of those fancy dark chocolate bars like Chocolove. Cherie below, who says their chocolate is bad, wouldn't know good chocolate if it hit her in the face.

Let me start this off by saying that I am not one for sweets. Maybe once or twice a year I get that craving. I stumbled across BittersweetCandy and was intrigued by not only the variety but the unique combinations. I ordered a couple boxes online and waited. They came well packed and I noticed that this was all hand made chocolate. 10 mins later and box one was gone! Absolute perfection! Bittersweet has been my go to ever since! Excellent quality! Exceptional customer service! I’ve chatted a few times with the owner and she’s such an amazing person! I will always support this small business. Well... twice a year for my fix!!! You want the best? You’ve found it!

Wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars

The service received from Heather is unbelievable
The details put into her chocolate is beyond compare.
The care she puts into packaging to make sure it arrives safely and intact is incredible.
I highly recommend Bittersweet to anyone looking for chocolates

The owner was very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. She has tons of unique flavors of chocolate including vegan versions of most. I really enjoyed the dark salty pretzel bark. I will certainly return.

Best candy store in the area. Outstanding selection of anything that you could ever want as far as sweets. The owner is very knowledgeable about her craft and just about everything is made by hand. Great place to shop for gifts, who doesn't like sweets? Stop in and give it a try, you won't be disappointed...

The chocolate is smooth and yummy, and you can choose white, milk, or dark chocolate for your base.There are so many awesome flavors, you can't choose just one as your favorite. Heather is an awesome chocolatier. Give her a chance and you'll never want mass produced choclate ever again.
