Ethel M Chocolates

I opted for a box of the salted caramel chocolates. They are so delicious. I have more of a savory palette than a sweet tooth, but these things are good. The sales associate here was also very helpful.

Enjoy going to the outdoor gardens and the through the inside tour of Ethel Ms Chocolate’s especially when friends and family come to town. The holidays are also a great to to visit there. Many tour groups arrive in busses there to see how the chocolates are made and to visit the wonderful gift shop where they can receive free samples, and purchase boxes of varieties of chocolates to take home.

The options are bountiful, and the cashier is friendly. The chocolate is rich and mixes well with pretty much anything you put in it, be it crispies, nuts, or flavors. While it is a little pricey, given that it is a luxury confectioner, the price ends up being reasonable.

Was really looking forward to a good chocolate fix. Not here. $ 6 for 3 morsals and the chocolate was too sweet and not enough chocolate flavor. I swear this stuff tastes as one dimensional as regular old M&Ms. Fool me once… never again.

So I’m a huge Godiva fan and while at McCarren airport I decided to give this place a shot. It looks very elegant from the boxes to the décor so I thought the chocolates would be very good. I took a look around just to check the place out and it seemed okay enough. I started talking to a nice young lady who gave me a free piece of dark chocolate and it was alright but it couldn’t beat Godiva. Then I told the worker that I wanted something off the wall and that would blow my socks off. She said try the peanut butter and jelly chocolate and I did and it was alright but that was the first time I ever had a peanut butter and jelly chocolate. The one piece was only 2 bucks which I thought was cheap because Godiva starts off at 2.50 so that was a good thing. If I’m in the area again and I’m sure I will be then I will give them another shot.

Oh boy! I really don’t even have to write a review here …
As I checked in on Unilocal,the first review that popped up was by Robert S in Reno! I was ROFL, he sure made my day lol. I had to compliment him how Funny it was :) Please read his review ;)
I didn’t buy any chocolates, but since I was sitting directly in front of the place, I had to go try a free sample. It was YUMMY and the girl working was super nice. Great candy shop, I’ve never heard of Ethel’s before, glad I got to taste one.

Wonderland of Chocolate! McCarran Intl Airport staff member Zach was the best! Zach was very knowledgeable and didn’t bother about my corny jokes! Awesome chocolates and service…

Their Cactus Garden is beautiful during Christmas time, went after dinner with my husband and we had a great time and their chocolates are to die for, can’t wait till next year!

This, to me, is what makes the Mccaren airport a great layover. I don’t know where else I can get Ethel M other than online and Vegas, so it’s nice that they have it at the airport. Shipping can add up to these costly confections.
I love the chocolates and the samples I’ve tried, but of course yummy things come with a price. It’s $ 2 a piece of a small chocolate. It’s worth it if you are a chocholic or getting it for someone who is or at least to try once. I wouldn’t buy a premade box. I would rather make my own, so I can get more of the things I like.
My faves are the pb&j and the sea salted caramel. Seems to me every time I visit that the workers aren’t so welcoming though. Doesn’t bother me much because it’s a quick visit, but I can see them discouraging customers from getting anything.

I cannot visit Vegas without stopping by to say hello to my friend Ethel. She’s such a dependable amiga, always ready to make me chocolotta happy. Seriously, this is the best chocolate ever! The first time I tried some, I took home a box of liquor-​filled treats intended to be a gift for a friend who fed my kitties — but when I got off the plane, somehow the box was empty and I had nothing to declare at customs! Since then I’ve learned better and save some of my moola for indulging. Don’t be tempted by those tight slots at the airport — get yourself some Ethel M instead –it’s no gamble that it’ll be delicious!

Oh how I love you, Ethel M’s! Your chocolates are truly worth every penny. I love grabbing some Ethel M’s chocolates when I am in Vegas. It just isn’t a trip to Vegas without taking something home to share (or not share) from Ethel M’s. I love to create my own box and add all my favorites like the milk chocolate truffles, pb&j, and sea salt caramels.
This time, I picked up a large box of assorted truffles for my in-​laws for watching my doggies. I am hoping they will love this gift, as they love everything chocolate. This place is wonderful because it’s easy to grab something for yourself, but also a great place to take home a delicious souvenir that doesn’t say «Vegas» on it. Plus, who wants a shirt that says «Vegas» on it as a souvenir when you could have delicious chocolates?
Make sure to stop by and ask for a sample to see what you like. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly.

Next time I buy a plane ticket, can you PLEASE remind me to take into account the cost of a hand packed 48 piece box of chocolates from Ethel M’s? Because if I go through Vegas on that future flight, I will be dropping $ 50 on a box of chocolates, no matter what I may tell myself.
Ethel M is my wife’s favorite chocolate place. And what kind of good husband would I be if I didn’t get my wife everything I can that she loves?
So for those of you who have never had Ethel M’s I would say try them. If you aren’t broke and can afford the hand packed 48 piece, it’s the best deal they got going. Just do it. Go crazy and get all the alcohol barrel ones, get all the cool cocktail ones. Then get that salted caramel one that so many people love. Just get it all and then get some more. Its good.
The one negative here is the reality check that bounces when you eat your 5^th piece and feel like you are gonna turn into a human chocolate bar. So ease up and enjoy that box for a few weeks to come… unless your wife get’s ahold of it. Then, just enjoy what you had that first day.
Oh and if you are worrying about parking for this business… don’t worry, the pilot already valet parked it for you.

Upscale chocolatier I found at McCarren AIrport.
It’s an attractive and beguiling little shop. It does a good job of tempting innocent travelers as they pass by.
It features nice packaging and very nice and friendly and patient customer service.
Also — a BIG plus — it features a very nice variety of No Sugar Added chocolates! Huzzah!
I’ll definitely stop by Ethel M’s the next time I’m cruising through McCarran’s.

its my sisters fault that we ended up here. she loves chocolate.
we each had a sample (raspberry filled dark and milk).
the woman helping us was very patient.
my sister ended up getting a 16 piece box for $ 28.

Eats: White chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and dark chocolate truffle.
Price: $ 2 per piece
Service: Ethel M employees were friendly and patient, especially since we were taking our time to browse their variety.
Takes: Ethel M chocolates are definitely delicious. They have everything from milk, dark, and white chocolate to alcohol infused chocolates. However, at $ 2 a piece, most pieces are bite-​sized too, I’m not sure they are worth the price. Indulgence, why not, but the more practical side of me says to pass.
Location: McCarren Airport near Gate 11.
Bottom line: Is money not an issue? Go here for your indulgent chocolate fix.

The plan was to get dad a lovely caramel apple from the kiosk on the second floor of NYNY as a thank-​you for picking us up from the airport. While meandering merrily down to the gate at McCarren, it suddenly hit me — we forgot to buy the apple! (I blame that third round of cocktails). Fortunately, Ethel M came to the rescue with a lovely box of half-​off truffles and our good karma was preserved.
It’s much like a See’s Candy for those familiar with that chain — they have prepacked boxes and also a case of individual chocolates for you to pick and choose. The woman working there was very friendly and offered free samples as well. I tried their vanilla truffle which was just a touch over-​sweet but still quite good. As others have noted, prices can be high, so if you luck upon a good sale or clearance price, jump on it. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drop in, but if I were in the airport and wanted some high quality chocolate or a last minute souvenir, this is where you’ll find me.

I may or may not intentionally try to schedule my layovers in Las Vegas just for these gourmet chocolates. Regardless, I manage to always stop by this place whenever I have a layover at this airport.
I recommend trying the toffee chocolates, the dark sea salt caramels, and the fruit truffles. They can get a little pricey after you order a few, at $ 2 each but they’re well worth it.
So, after you win a bunch of money from the slot machines in the airport, head on over to Ethel M Chocolates and splurge. Go into a chocolate coma. That is all.

Got time in the airport? Monkey know you do… Get chocolate!
Take the free sample and buy the CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BRITTLE. You will thank yourself later. Service is nothing but friendly and helpful. Not cheap, but terrific quality. Invest in your flight crew with Ethel M’s… A little kindness goes a long way!

Love these little gems… it’s my first stop for indulgence once I land in Sin City for a weekend of vices! LOL!
The dark chocolate is much better than the milk and there are some filled with the most luscious liqueurs. I bring these as souvenirs to my nieces and nephews all the time. Not sure why I’m never asked to babysit anymore.
Anywho, get chocolates and get drunk —- need I say more?!

Truffles at an airport?
Only in sin city!
On our way to Florida, my wife and I had a brief layover at the McCarran International Airport, in Las Vegas. Since my wife and I had each eaten three bags of salty peanuts on the flight, we were in desperate need for something sweet. We were originally going to just buy some candy at one of the small stands, when we happened to come across Ethel M Chocolates.
This high end candy shop is located in the C terminal of this airport. Ethel’s is a house hold name in LV, with many shops scattered around Nevada.
Right when we walked into this shop, my wife and I were both given free samples of their delicious white chocolate truffles. After devouring those samples in seconds we decided to purchase a few of their expensive gourmet truffles. This is what we left the shop with;
Two PB&J Truffles
Key Lime Pie Truffle
Salted Caramel Truffle
Pina Colada Truffle
Dark Chocolate Almond Truffle
All of these truffles were phenomenal, especially the PB&J ones, which were like little chocolate PB&J sandwiches.
The woman working at Ethel’s was super friendly and was more than happy to answer any questions we had about their treats.
Besides truffles, Ethel’s also sells fine chocolates, gourmet candy bars and more. The prices here a really high but what else would expect from truffles.
If I ever find myself in the McCarran International Airport again, you better believe I’m going to stop by Ethel’s and pick up some of her delicious truffles.
However, until that day comes, I will just fantasize about them. DAMN those PB&J’s were delicious!
