Sarris Candies

Wow is all I can say! See’s Candy has nothing on Sarris’ chocolate!!!
The chocolate covered pretzels are addicting. The hard cap is to die for! I hoard this little crack of heaven every time I visit Pittsburgh!
Their chocolates are so good, every chocolate I now taste gets compared to Mrs. Sarris.

Love it, candy is amazing they make ice cream that is soo good, brilliant flavors, selection is huge, candy lovers dream place, check out the chocolate castle, lots to see, taste bring the kidsand enjoy your day.

Sarris Candies is one of my favorite ice cream/​chocolate shop. For holidays, they usually have many different wrappings for chocolate and creative gifts to go along with it. I bought a turkey shaped chocolate for thanksgiving dinner that was absolutely cute and delicious. The ice cream portions are huge so keep that in mind when you are ordering!

Amazing candy and ice cream. My favorite are the chocolate covered pretzels. Definitely worth a visit.

Today, after over 6 longs months of waiting, I finally got to go to Sarris for a Sundae and it was even better (if that’s even possible) than I remembered. See I discovered the Sarris ice cream shop two winters ago (always have been a huge fan of the candy) and have been going on a weekly or biweekly basis ever since (bout a half hour drive. Maybe more if there’s traffic) I love it here so much. I always get either Oreo or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with strawberries and milk chocolate hard shell (to die for) with whip cream and extra cookie sticks. It’s my favorite ice cream/​chocolate of all times. Besides having the best chocolate they also have they best employees who are always in a good mood and they pretty much staff enough people for each customer to have their own person take their order… it’s great. Now after the amazing ice cream experience you can frolic through the candy shop where they have a huge chocolate castle and every chocolate mold you can imagine. I’m only home from the West Coast For 7 days and I’m guaranteed to go at least 2 more times. Love you Sarris

Love this place for the atmosphere and their chocolate! This is a great place to take the kids to see the beautiful Christmas Chocolate display worth $ 130,000 if anyone would like to buy the winter wonder Christmas chocolate castle display.

How could you not be happy coming to a place like this! Tons of chocolate and decorations! Hot fudge ice cream was out if this world!!!

Wide range of flavors, delicious toppings and generous scoops instantly bring you back to your childhood! One of the hidden gems of Canonsburg. A must visit. It is Pittsburgh’s answer to WIlly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Love this place have gone there 4 years remember the father very well sweet great loving had family working there Aunt packed often when they needed an extra hand great fund raisers 2 have really gone global now sold in Giant Eagles, Pgh airports 2 can order on line always great place 2 go

This place is a local hidden gem
It’s a 20 min drive from Pittsburgh but the candy is sold all over. I find it often in the rite aid on Mount Washington.
There chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite and definitely worth checking out.

The line was long, but it went quickly. I had first ordered the chocolate peanut butter cookie dough; they were sold out. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie dough and added hot fudge and whipped cream. Without asking, she put a cherry on top, I don’t like cherries, so I would’ve preferred her to ask. The ice cream was ok, everyone raves about how great their ice cream is, it’s nothing spectacular. There was not much cookie dough in it, and it didn’t have much flavor beyond the vanilla ice cream base. You do get a lot of ice cream though. Also, the candy store had a weird smell to it. I will still buy their chocolate, it’s very good!!!

Ventured here on the last day of school with the kids. Very friendly atmosphere and a clean place to get ice cream and candy.

Elaborate fun world of candy, chocolate and ice cream creations. Anything and everything you can imagine. Funsville!

I can’t believe the portion sizes on the ice cream. I have never been to an ice cream shop where two scoops was so big. Multiple topping choices for the ultimate variety.
Very large inside so it doesn’t feel crowded. Good size tables and comfortable chairs. Outside seating is also available and can be enjoyed on pleasant days.
This is a must visit place when in the Canonsburg area.

Best chocolate on the planet!!! Their milk chocolate, dark chocolate, is so smooth and creamy, melts as soon as your fingers touch it. They have just about any kind of shape for any occasion you can imagine. A very cool gift shop, stuffed animals, collectibles for every holiday, candies, butter mints, a huge hand carved castle made out of chocolate, and so many chocolates to choose from. Their chocolate malted milk balls, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate peanut butter covered pretzels are just ridiculously good. Now to the ice cream parlor, home made ice creams from Black Raspberry, Cherry Vanilla, Peach, and many others. Ice cream cones, milk shakes, sundaes topped with their melted chocolate hard cap, and plenty of other toppings to choose from. Sarris is a must visit!!!

Sarris is a classic in Pittsburgh! I have been going there since I was a child, and it is great every time. Their sundaes are great, very large, and a decent price. It’s just unfortunate that it’s not closer to downtown. In any case I highly recommend Sarris to anyone!

I enjoyed my visit to Sarris Candies Ice Cream Parlor.
I had the chocolate hot fudge sundae with chocolate jimmies and hot fudge. The cost of this sundae was $ 3.95.
On a scale of one to five, with one being the lowest and five being the highest, I scored this sundae a four. There were too many jimmies on the sundae.
Using the same scale, I scored the décor of the parlor a five. I loved the player piano and the songs.
The best thing about the sundae was the hot fudge.
The one thing that they could improve is to have more toppings available for sundaes. For example, they should have Oreos and M&M’s, not just jimmies and different kinds of nuts.
The staff was very friendly and I would highly recommend visiting Sarris Candies for a sundae or a chocolate bar!!! :):):)

If you live anywhere near Sarris or even if you don’t you NEED to go here!!! Not only do they have everything made out if chocolate that you could possibly imagine, they have an ice cream parlour. You HAVE to try the Hard Cap! what is Hard Cap? Imagine a candy bar melted over a bowl of ice cream. YUMMMMMMM! Go Now!

Pros–
Huge portions for very less price!
Cool chocolate store
The cashew ice cream is my favorite!
Generous toppings
Great ambiance and outdoor seating
Best chocolate covered pretzels
Cons–
Ice cream itself is of generic flavors.
No special or different flavors

As Jack Frost had his icy grip upon Southwestern Pennsylvania, Kay and I needed to make a journey deep into the South Hills, delving further than I had in many years…
En route back from our completed, clandestine (mundane) mission, I mentioned something that had been gnawing at my psyche for almost 2 decades.
«Kay, we’re near Sarris, where they make those candies, those evil chocolates.»
«I know,» she answered tensely. «It’s up to you.»
«I have to,» I said, feeling for a holy artifact in my coat pocket.
Plugging in the name of the accursed place into the GPS invoked the demon himself. Cackling and spitting brimstone, he gave us the directions verbally, vowing to stay open past the closing hour… just for us.
«You ssshalll perissshhh,» he vomited. «I have a sssecret, a prize awaiting you…»
When we arrived, a neon sign burned a bloody crimson onto the frigid, dark sky, and a hooded crossing guard led us across a coal-​black road. Unassuming upon first glance, when we turned to look at him again, we noticed that the nameless figure’s face was purely skeletal and that green flames flickered in his eye sockets.
A sextet of young females greeted us at the door with maniacal grins. One them, their leader, took us both by the hand, softly uttering…
«We have two challenges for you. They’ve already been chosen for you,» she coldly stated.
Before we had a chance to protest, Kay was wrestling with a sinister sundae formed from her own tortured imagination. My first enemy this night would be considered a «Triple Threat» on Sarris’ bill of fare, and in triplicate, the following numbers were branded…
The Chocoholic Sundae is constructed of a glob each of chocolate ice cream, chocolate chip ice cream, and double chocolate ice cream. The 3-​headed dairy Golem is further enhanced by a cowl of hot fudge, a cape of whipped cream, roasted nuts for armor, chocolate jimmies as barbs, a maraschino cherry as a morning star, and a pirouette wafer acting as a quarterstaff.
I provoked the large, unintelligent brute into charging me, ducking under its feet, causing it to trip and fall forward onto its chest. Stunned, it dropped its staff, which I used to bludgeon it into submission.
Sarris appeared before us after we defeated his champions, pointing a long, clawed finger towards… a bound, gagged, helpless Saint Nick!
«I ssshalll conquer Chrissstmass. And you rail againssst Corporate Amerika taking over the holiday. Hero, you’ve no idea what Ssssaarrriisss hasss in mind…»
Christmas trees, carousels, candy canes, a brass elephant, a plush lion, toys, trinkets, chocolates, and everything else Yuletide had been co-​opted, corrupted by this devil in a pocket dimension that somehow contained it all. Even menorahs could be seen, Sarris promising that he was an inclusive bringer of doom.
«The Holiday Ssseasssson will now be Sssarrisss Sssseasson! Bill O’Reilly is but one of my minionsss. He is not a culture warrior but a thrall to Sssarrriisss…»
Framed celebrity pictures of people such as Joan Rivers and Bobby Vinton began to scream for help. Sarris had their souls!
Animate chocolate controlled by Sarris’ gestures surrounded us, forming into axes, hammers, and fists. A whip of fudge struck me in the forehead, leaving Kay to fend for herself. As a dark brown tendril wrapped around Kay’s midsection, I regained enough composure to unsheath a holy, blessed dagger and throw it into Sarris’ shoulder. As the infernal lord shrieked in agony, Kay and I freed St. Nick who opened a portal through which an army of elves barged subduing Sarris and his slaves. The souls of the famous floated out of the pictures and towards a light. «You kids are great. We should talk, but I got a show ta do. Nice outfit, Kay. Darren, kid, you need work, but I have to go,» said the harried spirit of Ms. Rivers.
«Whew, that was hairy,» an exasperated Santa Claus said, handing me a wrapped present. «Don’t open it ’til Christmas Day,» he requested. «It’s for both of you.»
«How are you guys gonna get all that stuff back to the North Pole?» Kay asked.
A batwinged creature of solid chocolate flew towards Kay only to be shattered by a crossbow bolt. «There’s your answer,» Santa said.
Astonished, I said to the beings «Hey, I remember you guys!»
«Yeah, its been a little while,» said the Easter Bunny and his otherdimensional counterparts…
«I got a bunch of ‘em myself, counterparts that is,» Santa explained.
Saying our goodbyes, Kay and I walked back across the street to the Kaymobile. The skull-​faced individual was now a friendly, bearded gent who thanked us for helping him recover his humanity.
That present is sitting under a tree now. I wonder what it could be. Patience…
